(Deleted unknowingly)
i had already wrote the blog for Week 6 .But it got deleted unknowingly while editing before last submission.So i had to write it again.
So week 6 of the design research workshop helped me in establishing a thorough knowledge of data types, data resources, ethics and a brief introduction to data analysis.
It helped me to visualize the relationship between the data types and data resources by identifying the key parameters of both.Research as defined by Saunders is the systematic collection and interpretation of information with a clear purpose, to find things out.
So, the principal source of data is questionnaire survey, interview-based survey or structured interview, semi-structured interview, unstructured interview, focus group, panel discussions, Delphi method & observations.

So, the principal source of data is questionnaire survey, interview-based survey or structured interview, semi-structured interview, unstructured interview, focus group, panel discussions, Delphi method & observations.
The
questionnaire survey is quoted as a self-administered, mostly QUANT and may
have QUAL components in it.
The
structured interview is somewhat like questionnaire survey with few minor
differences which include a structured set of questions and it’s administered
by interviewer.
In
semi-structured interview, rough questions are generally asked but the order of
the questions may change. It helped me in exploring unexpected avenues. It has
QUAL components and a key Design thinking tool embedded in it.
The unstructured
interview comprises of a very loose conversation which is totally open-ended
and has a QUAL component in it.
The Focus
group or group interview is frequently used in Design thinking in combination with
brainstorming. It also has a QUAL component in it.
The panel discussions and Delphi method are just like the focus group method with a slight change. For instance, the panel discussions members meet regularly and in the Delphi method, all participants are experts in the discussion topic. Both have a QUAL component in them.
Observations constitutes of observing, recording, describing, analysing and interpreting people’s behaviour which can be a Qual, quant or a major tool in Design thinking depending upon the situation.
The
secondary source of material includes organisational records, diary, books and
journal, case files, films, newspapers, etc.
secondary data.
I was introduced to the definition of ethics in design research, the planning steps for ethical research and the various ethical issues involved in them.
Interviews
for design thinking was the next part I learnt which included interview’s problems,
emotions, views, motivations & thoughts. It also included interview tips
like keep questions open, Be agile and flexible in adjusting your questions as
the conversation progresses,Pay attention to non-verbal cues – facial expressions,
gestures, tone of voice, body movements, laughter, significant pauses, etc.
Activity 1 :
Interviewing for design project included several activities to test our interview skills with fellow students. A student has to conduct a basic interview with a friend and record the observations.After the interview they have to switch and do the same. we reviewed our interview and worked on improving it with new ideas.This activity made me realise this is a part of data collection which includes observation and direct data collection using interview.
Activity 2 :
We were shown a Short video and asked to observe the changes.There were many changes in the video and it was hard to observe all the changes at first.So I understood that observation plays an important part of our life.This activity has helped me to gain a self evaluation of my observation skills.
I was introduced to topics like co-creation of insights, negotiating participation and expectation management.
