Abstract

This research project aims to design and develop teaching materials supporting educators in teaching DSR classes at different university levels. Specifically, we propose three courses, including syllabi, reading lists, and additional exercises, to introduce, organize, and teach DSR classes. The first-level DSR course aims to support students in practical classes, such as capstone or project seminars, by introducing the basics of applying DSR to practical problems. The secondlevel course is designed for students applying DSR in their thesis. An extended reading list and additional exercises guide students through the different cycles of DSR. The third level course is designed to support junior researchers conducting and publishing DSR studies, including in-depth knowledge of the DSR methodology and critical reflection and advancement of DSR knowledge. In this talk, we will present the proposed teaching materials and how they can be embedded in existing or new method courses, guiding students in conducting DSR research projects.
