Abstract

Developmental research is a particular way of addressing the basic questions of why and how to teach what to whom. It involves a cyclical process of small-scale in-depth development and evaluation, at a content-specific level, of exemplary teaching-learning sequences. It aims to produce an empirically supported justification of the inner workings of such a sequence, which is claimed to
be an important contribution to the expertise of teachers, curriculum developers, and educational researchers.
