Hi everyone, I have uploaded the recordings in this Drive folder,<\/a> if you’d like to listen again to the discussion. (Sorry Matea, something went wrong with your recording but I’m sure you have good notes \ud83d\ude09 ) Some are still uploading but they should all be there soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Concerning Design Research Methods.. Prof. Heidkamp already mentioned to some of the groups that the use of Cultural Probes, or Design Probes<\/a>, could be an appropriate method to get visual and valuable information from your target group. Probing is a method mainly used in Human-Computer Interaction and User-Centred Design.\u00a0This paper<\/a>\u00a0of my former teacher at Aalto, Tuuli Mattelm\u00e4ki who wrote her doctoral thesis on Design Probes, gives a good overview of what it is, critically reflects how it is a useful method, and some further tips and tricks when applying it to your own work. There are no concrete pragmatic guides on how to do it, as you’ll need to figure out yourself how this method could inform and help your project.\u00a0<\/em>Because again, these are tools, so treat them loosely.<\/p>\n

About interviewing techniques… Interviewing a person of interest might seem evident but as all of you know, to get interesting answers you need to ask the right questions. How to prepare an interview? Have it structured? Or semi-structured? Open? Focused? Should I bring artefacts? Maps? Models? Go for a walk? Meet in an office? Go for a coffee? Should I record it? Transcribe it? Take notes? Do I need to ask for consent?
Depending on what you want to find out and who you are speaking to, there are different ways to prepare or not prepare \ud83d\ude09 There are different ways of framing your questions depending on what you want to find out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I am not an expert on this, but I’d be happy to look over your research\/interview strategy and assist you in fine-tuning it. Therefore, I suggest an open meeting Monday (16\/12) afternoon from 13h-15h <\/strong>for the ones interested,\u00a0in which I will be in room 228 to listen and help out. And share some examples. But then, I would like you to already prepare and show me what you want to find out,\u00a0who you will address, and how you want to go about it.<\/em><\/p>\n

For the ones interested in learning about and using Design Probes, we can also use Monday afternoon\u00a0to cover that. If Monday seems an inconvenient time, I can also offer extra time Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

One final wish concerning your research: Ask each other who you will contact and interview, and team up\/share your information. If there is a shared expert or stakeholder, for example, Neuland<\/strong>, go to the interview or meeting with a member of each interested team. It would be a pity if those organisations\/people would be contacted separately. So what do you have in common? Take ownership of the room!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2060,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"scoped_notify_notify_others":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[5807,162,950],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-meeting","category-organisation","category-research"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2060"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=495"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":496,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495\/revisions\/496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
