28th of May 2026

Today is a very special day, as we are delighted to announce the publication of our new book, Implementing Design-Based Research in Education: Practical Tools and Strategies, published by Routledge.

Co-authored with Ann Devitt and Jen O’Sullivan, this book has been an important and rewarding part of our research journey. Seeing it officially published today is both exciting and deeply meaningful.

The book explores how Design-Based Research (DBR) can help bridge the gap between educational theory and real-world practice. Grounded in creativity, empathy, collaboration, and reflective practice, it offers practical guidance for researchers, educators, and practitioners seeking to design meaningful and impactful learning experiences.

Across the book, we:

• Guide readers through the key phases of Design-Based Research
• Explore how to build sustainable and collaborative partnerships in educational settings
• Focus on understanding the lived experiences of learners
• Share practical tools for designing, implementing, and evaluating educational interventions
• Highlight how DBR can inform both classroom practice and educational policy

Thank you!

We hope the book will support educators and researchers who are working to create thoughtful, responsive, and evidence-informed educational experiences. A huge thank you to everyone who supported and encouraged us throughout this process.
