Abstract

To bridge the gap between educational research and practice, a methodological approach known as educational design research (EDR) has gained influence. In our view, carrying out EDR necessitates balancing three processes: (1) research, (2) design, and (3) change. Using Activity theory as theoretical foundation, we will clarify the processes and the potential tension between these processes.
