The concerns about ensuring scientific literacy for all are underpinned by international recommendations from organizations such as the UN and the OECD for science education. They advocate for science education from a contextualized, sequential, systematic, and active perspective on the students’ learning process, starting from the early years of schooling. It is based on these pedagogical principles that the r...
Educational design research has been gaining momentum in recent years, particularly in the field of educational studies. The objective of this study was to discover the potential of research in educational design for the development of a management group at a medical school, on the subject of evaluation of teaching performance by students. This is a descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, conducted from...
Science education plays a key role in promoting Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) through the training of informed and participatory citizens committed to the management of our planet and its resources. This work presents the design and assessment of an In-Service Teacher Education Program (ISTEP) through an Educational Design Research approach aiming at developing skills that make it possible to oper...

The design-based research methodology has been gaining significance, in recent years, in the field of educational research. Several authors have pointed out the potential of this methodology to support the development of research processes with strong practical applicability. Its iterative nature allows researchers to organize their studies into iterative research cycles that allow them to improve products, pro...
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education is crucial, rising the demand for technological skills driven by the Industry 4.0 digital transformation, and fostering problem-solving, autonomy, computational thinking, creativity, innovation, and effective teamwork skills. To properly address the lack of structured materials in secondary schools, an Educational Design Research (EDR) project wa...
The research work reported in this article is part of a wider study aimed at developing a mobile application (app) for Science Education in primary school. For that, we designed a participatory framework proposal nested within the larger framework of Educational Design Research. This framework emerged from the authors’ need to organise the different phases of the mobile apps development and to arrange the expec...
MOOCs are an emerging phenomenon in online education. There has been little investigation into the diversity of typologies within this new mode of teaching. This has grown significantly both in formal and informal educational settings. Despite the increasing number of research studies on teaching through MOOCs, various typologies like sMOOCs have received scant investigation. An sMOOC is a type of online course...
