Journal Title: Journal of Computer and Education Research - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 14
Abstract
This study aims to carry out final projects that were designed and coded within the scope of Software Engineering Final Project course in accordance with design-based research and observe the process hereof. Students developed their final projects pursuant to design-based research within the framework of a study that lasted for 8 weeks in total in spring term 2017-2018. Having been developed by relevant researchers, observation and control form were used in the study as data gathering tools. Processes of these projects that were developed via these forms were recorded on a weekly basis. Throughout this study, in which totally 8 students participated and 5 projects were created, the whole process of “Which one is your choice?”, a mobile application development project, was described. All stages of design and realization of this project, in which Mobile-D software development method was used, were revealed in detail. This study describes the details of a design-based research process which was operated on a real software project. The result of the study casts light upon effective utility of this method in project-based courses particularly in software engineering education and generally in engineering education.
