Evaluation Patterns for Design Science Research Artefacts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Artefact evaluation is regarded as being crucial for Design Science Research (DSR) in order to rigorously proof an artefact’s relevance for practice. The availability of guidelines for structuring DSR processes notwithstanding, the current body of knowledge provides only rudimentary means for a design researcher to select and justify appropriate artefact evaluation strategies in a given situation. This paper proposes patterns that could be used to articulate and justify artefact evaluation strategies within DSR projects. These patterns have been synthesised from priorDSR literature concerned with evaluation strategies. They distinguish both ex ante as well as ex post evaluations and reflect current DSR approaches and evaluation criteria.

Design Science Research Methodology: An Artefact-Centric Creation and Evaluation Approach
Adaptation of the Design Science Research methodology has never been easy. There have always been concerns regarding the validity of design science and the evaluation of the artefacts generated therewith and the subsequent claims of the researchers. To address these problems we propose an artefact-centric creation and evaluation methodology for design science research. This methodology begins w...

This research-in-progress paper presents a research agenda to specialize an initial version of a design science research (DSR) methodology for social systems further for the areas of IS/IT management (ITM) and IT project management (ITPM). The methodology was synthesized based on the current state-of-the-art of DSR in the management discipline and is aimed at designing, instantiating, and evalu...

The development of scientifically grounded IT artefacts significantly increased in the last decades. As a consequence, design science research emerged in the scientific field as a new research direction to explore the development of such IT artefacts. Thereby, design science research ensures to solve a realworld problem and to develop a theoretical contribution. The current literature differs b...
متن کاملReference Model in Design Science Research to Gather and Model Information
Design science research, at its current stage, does not offer consistent and detailed phases to guide researchers to manage information systems projects. In this paper we introduce a reference model that covers its phase of creating artefacts. This model serves as a base to gather relevant information in producing solutions to business’ problems in design science context. One aspect of the mode...
متن کاملNew design approaches to repurposing open educational resources for collaborative learning using mediating artefacts
In spite of high expectations and the support given by prestigious funding and educational institutions, Open Educational Resources (OER) have not been adopted widely by teachers and learners in practice. From a cultural historical activity theory perspective, we argue that Mediating Artefacts (MA) such as OER learning design visual representations and rich narrative pedagogical patterns may en...
