The researchers in this study aimed to demonstrate how impossible it could be for a language teacher to take fixed, systematic routes of action in recent Action Research designs.  This was instantiated in an L2 (here, English) 'essay writing' course among some Persian speaker university students majoring in Hygiene Sciences (Family and Environment). Evidences regarding individualistic progress ...

AR is a Participatory, democratic process concerned with developing practical knowing in the pursuit of worth-while human purposes, grounded in a participatory world view which we believe is emerging at this historical moment. It seeks to bring together action and reflection, theory and practice, in participation with others, in the pursuit of practical solutions to issues of pressing concern t...

We implemented a mobile AR system for building maintenance workers based on participatory design of the system requirements. The technical implementation relies on hybrid tracking, combining computer vision tools, sensors and indoors locationing. The application was tested in a pilot case by end-users in field tests, where the users were able to evaluate the system that had been developed based...

This paper advocates for the use of Action Research (AR) approaches in the designing of Information Systems (IS). Following a brief overview of the history of AR as a research methodology and it’s use in IS research a framework for describing the AR process is developed. This framework is then used to describe the AR process involved in the design and development of a paper based and orally com...

Three examples of collaborative research methods, Action Research (AR), Design Science (DS), and Participatory Design (PD), have been applied successfully in Information Systems (IS) research. This paper investigates whether research projects which are prominently published under one method also meet the characteristics of the respective 'other two' methods and could thus also be published unde...

Abstract Designing for augmented reality (AR) applications is difficult and expensive. A rapid system the early design process of spatial interfaces required. Previous research has used video mobile AR design, but this not extensible to head-mounted AR. an emergent technology with no prior precedent, requiring designers allow free speculation or risk pitfalls ‘path dependence’. In paper, a part...

Action Design Research (ADR) is a Design Research (DR) method that enriches the Design Science Research (DSR) paradigm, by providing stages and principles for designing ITartifacts and allowing for their emergence in an organizational context. The method has been used and elaborated by scholars, extending the mode of the method and its stages, incorporating and adopting knowledge from related a...

Interaction with one’s peers and the sharing of experience is a powerful means of generating meaning and creating lasting impression. This paper focuses upon the conceptual and practical development of a participatory artwork that utilises Augmented Reality technology. Using AR as the medium, the aim is to create a generative and interactive artwork that facilitates participation and viewer col...

Addressing the bridge between theory and practice in field of inclusive education Spain involves searching for strategies knowledge mobilisation, action research (AR) is one them. This study explores how its practical development questions roles that researchers adopt throughout process. A content analysis several focus groups raises about challenges undertake, dilemmas they face due to need de...

Poor access to clean and reliable energy technologies is a major challenge to most developing countries. The decision to introduce new technologies is often faced by low adoption rates or even public opposition. In addition, the data required for effective decision making is often inadequate or even lacking, thus constraining the planning process. In this study, a methodology for participatory ...
