Course Information

Intended learning outcomes

The goals of this course are:

- to make students aware of the paradigm of design science research,

- to contrast design science with other research paradigms, and

- to discuss and train all the methodological  aspects of research projects guided by design science research

Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools

The lecture is a combination of classical lecture (presentation by lecturers) and active involvement of the students through assignments, reflection,  and discussions.

Course content

Design Science is a rather new paradigm, which fits constructive sciences (like engineering, computerscience, etc.) better than the traditional research  paradigms of natural sciences or behavioral sciences resp. arts and humanities as it positions the creation of novel artifacts within a given context in the center of attention.

The students are trained in doing literature work, in particular in the dissection of papers to identify research goals, claims, and methods used, such that students gain a reflected insight into the research methods and practices in their very particular area of research. Furthermore, the planning of projects, the formulation of research goalsand the writing of research proposals is actively trained. A particular feature of this lecture that we work with literature, which is relevant in the research area of each student, and analyze this literature from a usually novel i.e. methodological angle.

Additionally, a wealth of research methods is presented and discussed in the context of design science research with a particular focus of relating research goals with the methods which can be applied to reach these goals and to evaluate results. However, the course does not train a particular (set of) research methods.
