Abstract

Design Research is a relatively young methodological paradigm which is being useful in Science Education research. In this paper we provide a general description of this paradigm and focus on more detail in the specific methodology of teaching experiments. We present and exemplify the main characteristics of this type of studies, enriching the description provided by the literature with what we learned in its application. Our objective is to contribute to its divulgation and development, as well as to promote reflection and discussion on this paradigm.
