Abstract
A theoretical study with a practical example presents design-based research in science subject didactics. Firstly, key terms design approach and design-based research are described. Design-based research is a new trend in educational research. The research method can be described as a cycle: analysis of a practical problem, development of solutions, iterative testing of solutions, reflection and generalization. Secondly, a practical example of design-based research in didactics of physics (science) is presented. The applied teaching content is a hands-on experiment with the human body. Science teachers need research-based innovative educational methods for the improvement of their teaching. Design-based research and action research, which is a part of design-based research, should be implemented into pre-service and in-service science teacher training.References
