| Summary: | This study aims to carry out final projects that
were designed and coded within the scope of Software Engineering Final Project
course in accordance with design-based research and observe the process hereof.
Students developed their final projects pursuant to design-based research
within the framework of a study that lasted for 8 weeks in total in spring term
2017-2018. Having been developed by relevant researchers, observation and
control form were used in the study as data gathering tools. Processes of these
projects that were developed via these forms were recorded on a weekly basis.
Throughout this study, in which totally 8 students participated and 5 projects
were created, the whole process of “Which one is your choice?”, a mobile
application development project, was described. All stages of design and
realization of this project, in which Mobile-D software development method was
used, were revealed in detail. This study describes the details of a
design-based research process which was operated on a real software project.
The result of the study casts light upon effective utility of this method in
project-based courses particularly in software engineering education and
generally in engineering education.
