Project PHoENIX utilizes participatory design within a learning experience design (LXD) frame to locate autistic people, their caregivers, and providers centrally in the processes of immersive technology design and development, as well as research design and execution. An overarching literature review on VR and autism and issues of limited design precedent of VR environments with autistic participants is provided, as well as details on the Project PHoENIX design framework, project description, and project design outcomes. Details are provided on how the online VR environment was co-designed and co-developed through collaborative research with autistic stakeholders while being sensitive to their needs and preferences. Research findings and implications are discussed regarding the design process, constraints, principles, and insights. The paper concludes by discussing lessons learned and how this project can provide much-needed design precedent for advancing the field towards a more inclusive, human-centered, and neurodiverse VR research and development paradigms.</p>","PeriodicalId":73753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of formative design in learning","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10195660/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9769880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the Five Whys protocol and five stages of the design thinking process as identified by IDEO (Brown & Katz, 2019), they set to resolve the issues. The Five Whys protocol is an iterative and formative interrogative technique used to explore cause-and-effect relationships. As noted by Serrat (2017), the primary goal of the technique is to determine the root cause of a problem by repeating the question up to five times. Each response informed the foundation for the next iteration and allowed the group to settle on the root cause of the problem. Then, design thinking was used to provide a solution-based approach to resolving the problems noted. Program leaders began by forming a stakeholder workgroup that included school district leadership development professionals from each of the university's surrounding districts. Program leaders used district leader input to understand what skills school districts needed in graduates of the university program and considered possible program changes to address the problems noted. The result of the year-long process was a program transformation, with increased enrollment and improved state assessment scores, to a widely accepted and successful master's degree program that is supported by all districts served by the university.</p>","PeriodicalId":73753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of formative design in learning","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10166041/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9689342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historical thinking aims to introduce students to the methods of historians and disciplinary ways of thinking. It is a complex act, requiring the application of substantive and second-order knowledge, and is difficult to foster among students. International (intervention) research has provided several guidelines for the design of instructional practices that are effective in promoting specific aspects of students' historical thinking. However, these studies do not approach historical thinking in a holistic manner, are often vague about how general design principles were adapted to history education, and rarely report on whether the designed curricula were considered relevant and useful by teachers. Taking into account the many difficulties that teachers encounter in designing practices aimed at historical thinking, this design research aims to gain more insight into the design of instructional practices that are both effective in fostering historical thinking in a holistic manner and that are considered socially valid by teachers. The designed artifact is a 12- to 14-h lesson series on the theme \"decolonization after 1945,\" for students in the 12th grade. It applies the model of cognitive apprenticeship's (Collins et al., 1991) general design principles to the specific context of history and approaches historical thinking in a holistic manner. The initial lesson series was evaluated and revised in two rounds based on a pilot study, an expert review and an intervention study.</p>","PeriodicalId":73753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of formative design in learning","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9970131/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9689343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article discusses the perceptions of participants in a pilot digital badge program to identify important milestones, collaborative efforts, and barriers believed to be instrumental in designing a successful digital badge initiative through a school–university partnership. The purpose of this exploratory case study was to understand how students and members of a school–university partnership perceived the use of an earned digital badge to embrace the legitimacy of instructional technology competencies that can be used as career currency. Data collection included student and partner interviews, badge assessment results, and meeting documentation. Results of the study were framed using Rogers’ (2003) innovation diffusion theory to identify the critical characteristics of the pilot digital badge initiative through a school–university partnership. Results found that relevance to professional opportunities, value to stakeholders, and sustainability plans contributed to relative advantage, compatibility, trialability, and observability. Additionally, results found communication and timing contributed to complexity barriers. Results of the current study will be used to further develop a successful digital badge initiative through an ongoing school–university partnership.</p>","PeriodicalId":73753,"journal":{"name":"Journal of formative design in learning","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138537571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
