Educational researchers are increasingly using design as a means of advancing their understanding. Historically design in educational research has served as a way to implement theories for testing. The emerging design research paradigm treats design as a strategy for developing and refining theories. In this article, I discuss the lessons that can be learned from design. Starting from a model t...

Adaptive Web-based Educational Systems represent an emerging technology that provides a unique advantage over traditional Web-based Educational Systems; that is the ability to adapt to the user's needs, goals, preferences etc. Adaptive Web-based Educational Systems are increasingly becoming part of the mainstream education, yet there does not exist a disciplined way of designing them most of th...

This paper discusses themes associated with the enterprise of educational research, particularly as it applies to notions of ontology and epistemology in ‘quantitative’ and ‘qualitative’ methodologies. It begins by identifying the ‘space’ that educational research occupies in the contemporary social setting and indicates the growing complexities of the ‘real world’ which researchers contemplate...

Knowledge is not attained but constructed (von Glasersfeld, 1989). This statement came from a new challenge to the concept of traditional knowledge. Today, we are facing the challenge from an educational paradigm shift in public education in Korea. Parents and the general public have criticized the public schools and classroom environments, arguing that they are not ready to meet learner's need...

Traditional education is developed by building up connections between specific ideas and related skills through repeated practice and positive reinforcement. All that has no sense in virtual learning environments because the new information and communication technologies. NICT, have induced a new space concept in society and a new dimension space for the culture. Thus the traditional learning e...
