设计研究的"承诺空间"——访国际设计研究专家安东尼·凯利博士

The Commissive Space of Design Research——An Interview with Dr. Anthony E. Kelly

安东尼·凯利(Anthony E. Kelly)博士是美国乔治梅森大学的教育和人力发展学院教授、教育技术项目主席，曾长期担任美国国家科学基金会(NSF)专家，多家正式、非正式学习研究机构和教育与人力资源部项目经理。他还担任过新加坡南洋理工大学客座教授、美国加州大学戴维斯分校客座教授。多种工作角色与经验使得凯利教授在教育理论研究与实践应用上都取得了较高成就，是2009鄄2010年度"富尔布赖特新世纪学者计划(NCS)"的获得者。他还受聘为《教育研究者》、《教育心理学研究者》、《教育技术研究与进展》、《学习科学杂志》等多家重要国际学术期刊的编辑委员会成员或评论员。凯利教授学术研究领域广泛，目前主要致力于认知神经科学与教育、学习科学与教育中的技术应用方面的研究。作为NSF的重要专家，凯利教授在教育研究方法和评价方面的研究尤其突出，特别是近年来对NSF所资助的大量"设计研究"项目的持续关注使他在"设计研究"上独具声名。他先后主编出版了有关教育研究方面的重量级手册《数学与科学教育研究设计手册》(2000)和《教育中的设计研究方法手册》(2008)，后者集中了众多研究者在设计研究上的观点以及大量的实践案例，是迄今为止反映设计研究主题最为全面的一本著作。在本期的访谈中，凯利教授就中国学者在设计研究理解上或许仍感困惑的一些核心观念、如何开展设计研究、当前世界范围内设计研究的研究现状与最新进展、存在问题、未来发展趋势等系列重要问题再次与我们分享了他个人有关设计研究"承诺空间"的独特见解，并为帮助我们深入理解设计研究提供了大量相关案例与资源。

Dr. Anthony E. Kelly is a Professor of College of Education and Human Development and the Chair of Instructional Technology Program at George Mason University. He has also held the post of intermittent expert at the National Science Foundation and as program manager at the Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings and the Directorate of Education and Human Resources since 1997. He has been a visiting professor at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore (2004)and at University of California at Davis(1996-1997). Varied employments and working experiences have shown his fine achievements in the theory and practice of education. He has just been awarded the Fulbright New Century Scholar (2009-2010). Furthermore, Dr. Kelly has also undertaken the editorial board member and the reviewer for some famous journals such as Educational Psychologist, Educational Researcher, Educational Technology Research and Development, Journal of the Learning Sciences and so on. Dr. Kelly has extensive researches and he mainly concern cognitive neuroscience and education, and the use of technology in education and learning sciences. Having been the expert at NSF for long time, Prof. Kelly is excellent in researches on the educational research method and evaluation, especially, on design research due to his continually concerning with the programs of design research supported by NSF. He head the list to edited two important handbooks about education research methods-Handbook of research design in mathematics and science education (2000) and Handbook of design research methods in education (2008). The 2008 handbook, including many researchers' ideas and cases of design research, is the most comprehensive book on such theme. In this interview, Prof. Kelly shares with us his own ideas about commissive space of design research and discusses some important issues on design research about that Chinese researchers may still are unclear, including the key conceptions of design research, the status in quo of research on design research and its development, the problems confronting design researchers. All in all, his respondence to the interview provides much useful information such as cases and resoures for us to understanding design research more deeply.
