“…Based on the information of the authors Jaime-Gil et Optical as well as nonoptical systems were used by the studies in our review. Within the group of optical MCSs, the systems can be further distinguished depending on whether or not they use markers: nine studies used markerless systems [12,14,16,17,[48][49][50][51][52] and eight studies used marker-based systems [11,15,18,[53][54][55][56][57]. Among markerless systems, the Kinect was used in six out of nine studies.…”

Motion capture is gaining significance in educational research. Different motion capture systems (MCSs) are used in educational research for different purposes and in different ways, which creates a diversity that is difficult to monitor. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of MCSs and their uses in educational research addressing primary and secondary school education. We conducted a systematic review focusing on the types of MCSs and the concrete systems being used, looking at how they are used, the purposes of their use, the aims and the research questions under investigation, the subjects/topics addressed in the studies, the locations/places of use, the potential benefits of using MCSs perceived by the researchers, and the underlying theories of movement. Based on n = 20 studies focusing on primary and secondary school education identified in our database search, we found that these studies mainly used optical MCSs. Furthermore, we identified three main purposes of their use: to directly support the learning process of students, as analysis tools, or for developing tutoring systems that support students in their learning. This paper gives insights into the use of MCSs in educational research and provides a springboard for further research using MCSs in educational research.

“…In a DBR setting, we argue to seek for the materiality of students’ experiences as emergent phenomena that came to be through the interdependent connections created by enactments of the theoretical underpinnings, the instructors’ teaching and classroom configurations, researchers’ research interests, the learning designs and much more. From this materialist epistemology perspective, the students’ direct experience would not come to be without the networked connections or the tangible assemblages (Nathan and Swart, 2021).…”

Purpose Design-based research (DBR) involves multiple iterations, and innovations are needed in analytical methods for understanding how learners experience a learning experience in ways that both embrace the complexity of learning and allow for data-driven changes to the design of the learning experience between iterations. The purpose of this paper is to propose a method of crafting design moves in DBR using network analysis. Design/methodology/approach This paper introduces learning experience network analysis (LENA) to allow researchers to investigate the multiple interdependencies between aspects of learner experiences, and to craft design moves that leverage the relationships between struggles, what worked and experiences aligned with principles from theory. Findings The use of network analysis is a promising method of crafting data-driven design changes between iterations in DBR. The LENA process developed by the authors may serve as inspiration for other researchers to develop even more powerful methodological innovations. Research limitations/implications LENA may provide design-based researchers with a new approach to analyzing learner experiences and crafting data-driven design moves in a way that honors the complexity of learning. Practical implications LENA may provide novice design-based researchers with a structured and easy-to-use method of crafting design moves informed by patterns emergent in the data. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first to propose a method for using network analysis of qualitative learning experience data for DBR.

“…This can be very difficult to conceptualize as complex systems can have hundreds or more variables at play, which is why they are often called wicked problems (Borko et al, 2009). However, many studies in recent years have included complex systems thinking to better capture the messy reality within classroom and larger school settings (Bae et al, 2021; Berland & Wilensky, 2015; Bullock & Moyer‐Packenham, 2020; Chang et al, 2019; Goldstone et al, 2008; Jones, 2021; Kloos et al, 2019; Levin, 2018; Mandinach & Schildkamp, 2021; Martin, 2019; Mathew et al, 2021; Nathan & Swart, 2021; Spiller et al, 2021; Strom et al, 2018; Vargas, 2021; Weiler & Hinnant‐Crawford, 2021). In addition, groups of complexity‐informed scholars are working to understand the messiness of wicked problems, the foundational purposes of educational research, and to develop aligned quantitative and qualitative methodologies that do not model educational systems as linear processes with just a few variables (Garner, 2020).…”
