Refining Conjecture Mapping for Design-based Research

Abstract

In this paper, we examine the original conjecture mapping by Sandoval (2004, 2014) and discuss two issues with its current design. Based on the analysis, we further refine conjecture mapping and use a real-case example for elaboration. Through the reconceptualization of conjecture mapping, we hope to further advance current discussion of conjecture mapping to inform the formation and review of design-based research in practice.
