The Different Types of Contributions to Knowledge (in CER): All Needed, But Not All Recognised

Abstract: The overall aim of this paper is to stimulate discussion about the activities within CER, and to develop a more thoughtful and explicit perspective on the different types of research activity within CER, and their relationships with each other. While theories may be the most valuable outputs of research to those wishing to apply them, for researchers themselves there are other kinds of contribution important to progress in the field. This is what relates it to the immediate subject of this special journal issu… Show more

“…CER is still engaging in many activities typical of an emerging field, including curating a core literature [33], publishing first text books [14,41], debating methodology [21,30,50], defining domainspecific methodologies [21,25,41], building domain-specific theories [25,47], discussing publication standards 1 [14,29,50], characterising its research landscape [10,12,32,47], creating its own educational programmes [23], creating a global community [20] and defining career paths for CER graduate students 2 [27,55]. These advances are important, but still leave us wondering "what is CER"?…”

“…Discussions in existing literature have circled around whether CER is a research field generating theories of CE, or a practice field creating designs to improve learning [12,30,50]. Choosing one or the other does not feel right because both are valuable for impacting CE outcomes.…”
