Definition
- A design rule is a theory on how to build things an artefact of a given kind. (Note DSchneider is not sure whether we should use singular or plural for a set of several connected rules ...)
- "A technological rule: an instruction is defined as a chunk of general knowledge, linking an intervention or artifact with a desired outcome or performance in a certain field of application". Bunge (quoted by Järvinen:99)
- Synomyms: technological rule, design principle
See also: design science, design-based research
Design rules in educational technology
In our opinion (DSchneider), the design rule should be the focal point of action-research oriented research designs like design-based research. Therefore we need some clear guidelines on:
- how to create design rules
- how to implement design rules
- how to test design rules
.... and how to to combine these within iterative, user-centered research and development approaches.
