## 1 Definition[edit | edit source]

* Design methodology tells what methodology to use in order to build things.

See also:

* Design science for an overview

## 2 Design methodologies[edit | edit source]

This section needs to be written. For the moment follow links below

Artifacts and design rules

* Design languages, i.e. the tools used to describe artifacts, e.g. educational modelling languages.
* design rules, i.e. one kind of output

Related subjects and fields

* Instructional design methods
* In software engineering: Human-computer interaction, User-centered design
* Usability and web usability
* In education and educational technology: design-based research
* Design and emotion

Relevant other disciplines

* Ethnography
* Activity theory, in particular the change laboratory method
* Cognitive load theory

Humor

(actually includes some interesting patterns of bad practice that readers seem to have experienced).

* Asshole driven development
* Tech Development Styles for Cynics

* Note: This seems to be the only useful (general) methodology book related to design-oriented research. Very dense reading, but worth to buy, ~~directly from here (no other place sells it):http://www.uta.fi/taju ... a small and friendly university bookshop (tested by me) ~~ No more available (new adress on the university book shop: https://www.tuni.fi/en/library/study-and-research/tampere-university-press/our-books). Seemed to have examplary in finnish : https://www.booky.fi/search.php?search=on+research+methods
