Employing Design and Development Research (DDR) Approach in Designing Next Generation Learning Spaces (NGLS) In Teachers’ Pedagogy and Technology Tools

Abstract

Design and development research (DDR) is a systematic study of design, development, and assessment processes with the goal of providing an empirical foundation for the production of instructional and non[1]instructional goods and tools, as well as new or better development models. This method employs a wide range of methods, including qualitative and quantitative techniques, as well as a thorough examination of the literature (Richey & Klein, 2014). The design and development of Next Generation Learning Spaces (NGLS) in instructors' pedagogy and technological tools is described in this article. The effort in generating new perspective in education in developing of the pedagogical framework in teachers’ pedagogy and used of technology tools in secondary schools in Malaysia. Therefore, this research paper aims to design and development of NGLS using design and development research (DDR) approach. Researcher will go through three phases of study and use several different study approaches in each phase. In the first phase, researcher was investigated teacher’ needs in their pedagogy and technology tools used in their lessons. The phase two and three are to design and development phase which is in real setting by various of expert’s consensus in developing the framework as well as evaluate the usability and practicality of the framework. The expert’s consensus are the main inputs in developed the framework in context of Malaysian education. Malaysian education has to brings in different paradigms of education and teaching strategies (Don, Raman et al., 2015), which extend to teachers’ pedagogy and technology tools impact by NGLS in the future. Therefore, the findings provided useful evidence of potential in designing and development of pedagogical framework in teachers’ pedagogy and technology tools.
