Design Based Implementation Research

Developing Capacity for Continuous Improvement in DBIR

Design-based implementation research is concerned with developing capacity for sustaining change in systems.

  • One strategy for promoting sustainability of designs is to develop capacity through intentional efforts to develop organizational routines and processes that help innovations travel through a system.
  • Capacity is a quality of the institutional ecology of schooling, which includes educational systems, researchers, commercial publishers, and publics.
