Curriculum Design in the flipped classroom: the research synthesis Methods

  Flipped classroom is a way to create positive changes in education; therefore, in the present study we tried to offer a comprehensive operating model of implementation of this method based on research synthesis. The corpus of this study consisted of all scientific articles published about the implementation of flipped classroom. From this corpus 1084 papers were identified through constant se...

Bayesian perspectives for epidemiological research: I. Foundations and basic methods.

One misconception (of many) about Bayesian analyses is that prior distributions introduce assumptions that are more questionable than assumptions made by frequentist methods; yet the assumptions in priors can be more reasonable than the assumptions implicit in standard frequentist models. Another misconception is that Bayesian methods are computationally difficult and require special software. ...

Research Methods for Design Science Research: Computational and Cognitive Approaches

Research methods that claim to use the scientific approach in design research can be grouped into three categories: those founded on empirical evidence of human designing activity; those founded on axioms and their derivations; and those founded on conjectures of potentially useful processes. These three approaches are used to construct either cognitive or computational models of designing.

Towards Participatory Action Design Research: Adapting Action Research and Design Science Research Methods for Urban Informatics

This paper proposes a new research method, Participatory Action Design Research (PADR), for studies in the Urban Informatics domain. PADR supports Urban Informatics research in developing new technological means (e.g. using mobile and ubiquitous computing) to resolve contemporary issues or support everyday life in urban environments. The paper discusses the nature, aims and inherent methodologi...
