In the discussion of this topic we talked about different
types of research, mainly about qualitative research methods, we also spoke
about Haptic and collaborative research, but the general idea and the main focus
was design research.
Make use of qualitative methods often involves
quantitative analysis to interpret and analyze data generally obtained through
interviews of different types. Using both methods often implies more reliable
results and to get more evidence in our investigation. Furthermore part of the
discussion was based on the haptic, such technologies may be used in many
fields and particularly, media can take advantage of this technology. Haptic
system can represent an actual human tactile experience, by using specialized
technology to simulate these experiences. A haptic system compresses the
different information items (heart rate, pressure, cold, hot, etc.) into a
single experience. This type of technology in the field of media technology can
transmit more complete information with a much higher level of experience to
the people who receive it. The advantage of this type of technology is vast,
particularly I think for people who have vision problems is a very important
and useful progress.
We also discussed about collaborative methods, which is
simply to share information and cooperate in any investigation. Such methods
can have the vision of different people with different backgrounds on the same theme.
Researching with these methods has many advantages, including in learning
obtained from other researchers is much higher compared to conduct research on
your own.
Hi, Isaac I like your article! I want to ask you: What kind of methods is more difficult for you: quantitive or qualitive? In this lecture we told about design research. There are also a lot of quantitive/qualitive methods in design research, which of them you think are more interesting?
ResponderEliminarHi thakns for your comment, i am most used to do quantitative reseach because of my background (Computer engineer), however, reading articles and papers where a qualitative research have been done, have increased my interest in this kind of research. Quantitative Researches are used more for falsifiable studies; however an important thing I have learned is how important is to use different kind of methods in order to make a mor suitable and truthful study. Go deeply in this theme have made increase my interest on both methods, each of them have their own pros and cons.
