Method evidence record

Multiple-case design-based research

Multiple-case design-based research (MCDBR) is an interventionist methodology drawn from the learning sciences and education research. It extends single-site design-based research by implementing and iteratively refining an educational intervention across two or more distinct sites, contexts, or participant groups simultaneously or sequentially. The cross-case structure strengthens theoretical transferability and exposes context-dependent variations that a single site could never reveal.
