About the 5D method
In the co-creation labs, we employ the 5D methodology (Klaveren & Cornelisz, 2021) to achieve sustainable improvement and innovation in education. This model describes a process with five consecutive phases to achieve sustainable educational enhancement: problem identification (Detect), diagnosis (Diagnose), development and implementation of intervention or policy (Design), scientific evaluation (Determine), and interpreting the findings to make an informed decision about what the next step should be (Decide).

Sustainable education improvement
How do we work in the education labs?
In the education labs we work according to a clear step-by-step plan. We follow the five steps of the 5D model .
2. Diagnosis
Teachers and researchers make a diagnosis based on literature study, data analysis and simulation models.
3. Design
The researchers and teachers formulate promising interventions. These are then implemented in the form of pilots in educational practice.
4. Determine
The interventions are tested at various schools. Afterwards, both the effectiveness of the interventions and the process are carefully evaluated, and teachers and researchers jointly determine whether the intervention is promising.
Decide
In the final step, teachers and researchers decide whether and how the intervention can be successfully scaled up.
