In a team (3-4 people), you are asked to develop a solution for Dr. Adams. Begin by reviewing the listed resources below:

1. Read the following two articles: Collins, Joseph, & Bielaczyc (2004) and van den Akker(1999).

2. Review the concept of a post facto case and identify distinctions in methodologies: Reigeluth and Frick, pp. 645-646.

3. Describe the differences between developing a new theory vs. attempting to improve an existing theory: Reigeluth and Frick, p. 645.

4. Individually, compare and contrast examples to your initial ideas and post responses to the Research & Revise 1 bulletin board.
