Abstract
Living lab (or design-based research) in educational field is an iterative process where different stakeholders work together to design and test new digital tools for learning or teaching. Current literature review aims to describe how popular was living lab (design-based research) in educational research during 2010–2020 and what type of technological interventions were studied. The main focus was on types of data that were most often collected and how this data was analysed. We show that the number of education related living lab papers has increased compared to the years 2000–2010. Most of the data collected was descriptive and allowed descriptive analysis. About one third of studies mentioned data types and analyses types that are truly quantitative. Learning analytics was used in 4% of studies that was somewhat surprising for the educational field. There is lots of data presented in the literature that could be statistically tested and therefore the results would be more reliable. Data collection and analysis related strengths and weaknesses of living lab process in education are discussed.
