Kelly 2004	-Emerging, -Loose set of methods, -Produces an artefact (concrete or conceptual) through an iterative process, that outlasts the study and is adopted, adapted, used by others. -Object of study – the process of engagement between the teacher and the student (where researcher could also be teacher). -The design experiment = teaching. -One end of spectrum - Centrally concerned with curricular subject matter (Is this QA?maybe include that instead of VS) -Other end of spectrum – produces a software artifact that contains the model of learning or teaching (RC?) not for the software's sake but as a tool to explore and test research questions about learning. -occur in real-world settings - raw material of design studies inescapably contingent, often unpredictable and perhaps unrepeatable	- stage appropriate use of research methods	-Focus of attention of design studies has not been on its later adoption - Needs to move from being a loose set of methods to being a methodology GRAMMAR- lacks argumentative grammar that supplies the logic of the methodology with regards the reasoning about its data DEMARCATION- must clarify how results contribute to demarcation (sound and unsound claims) and/or problems of meaningfulness ACTORS- without experimental control can there be generalizations? (QA?) - are causal attributions plausible when there are multiple dependant variables - where the product is ephemeral (learning) in educational settings and the status of claims is meant to be general does flexible design revision make sense? - should not the design also forefront indiviudual cognition and link to other areas of science - with regards coparticipant involvment during research what impact does this involvment have on the inferential character of any finds - whose voice takes precedence and why? Many studies have small sample size so cannot be generalized over N (RC and QA large sample size VS small) CONTEXTS - targeted perturbations weakens generalizations to cognitions in larger and normal settings (This is Can look for) lack of structural or statistical controls/ untested alternative hypotheses - no guidelines to minimize researcher bias	-generate hypothesis and frameworks -contribute to model formulation vs model estimation or validation - consruct advancing hypothese could emerge from studies -is a means of going beyond a literature review that does not provide a good question or inhibits progress because ot the models guiding it. - can contribute to the problem of meaningfulness, that precedes and is the foundation for addressing problems of demarcation contribute to generalizations as they contribute to the thinking of other researchers in other domains – may guide observations, suggest variables, help make sense of data
