Course 10 (Part 2 of 2): Finding your way in Design Research - Course
Contribution & Benefit: Come and learn about design research by "prototyping" your current research program to see where it fits in the design research continuum. Helpful if you’re new to the field/Students.
Abstract » Have you heard the term design research and you’re not really sure what it means? Perhaps you have some idea and you think you’ want to do research through design, or perhaps you think that research for design is more what you’re about? Based both on the recent work published at CHI and DIS (Zimmerman et al 2007 & Zimmerman et al 2010) as well as the work of Horvath (Horvath 2007, 2008) we’ll define the continuum of design research and how it relates to both classical mono-disciplinary research and design practice, we’ll help you find your way in the wonderful world of design research.
This course is hands-on and while we do spend some time in lecture-mode we will spend a the majority of the time in disucssion and using the concept of prototyping to understand Design Research and where your own research fits into the whole thing.
This course is aimed at early stage reserchers with 0-7 years experience, students (both MS and PhD) and anyone new to HCI, Design, or Design Research.
This course is taught in two parts, and between the two sessions you will spend 10-30 minutes making your prototype. We provide all the materials, you provide your content. Attendance at both sessions is be necessary if you want to be able to follow what we will do in the course.This course has been taught as a required module for PhD students at Delft for several years as well as to a PhD summer school where students found it not only interesting, but very helpful to clarify their research program and where it fits into design research.
