Design-Based Implementation Research

Design-Based Implementation Research (DBIR) is a collaborative approach to developing and testing educational interventions within real-world settings. It involves researchers working closely with practitioners, such as teachers or administrators, to design, refine, and implement strategies that improve practices or outcomes. The process emphasizes continuous feedback and adaptation, ensuring solutions are practical, effective, and sustainable in the actual environment. DBIR aims to bridge the gap between research and practice by jointly solving problems, leading to innovations that are both evidence-based and tailored to specific community or organizational needs.
