Quality Improvement Approaches: Design-Based Implementation Research | Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching
A broad collaboration of stakeholders, from teachers and administrators to researchers and designers, is a key element of design-based implementation research, a school change approach
DBIR’s theory of action is informed by four main principles: 1) Focus on persistent problems of practice from multiple stakeholders’ perspectives, 2) commit to iterative, collaborative design, 3) develop theory, knowledge, and practice related to both classroom learning and implementation through systematic inquiry, and 4) develop capacity for sustaining change in systems.
