week 12. phenomenology & ethnography

First :
Things making Things: An Ethnography of the Impossible

What is ethnography ?
What is phenomenology?
How do they relate to design?

1.

Ethnographic vs Phenomenological Research Designs

2. Qualitative methodologies: ethnography, phenomenology, grounded theory and more

3. very short introduction:

Notes on Ethnography and Design

4. Blomberg et al. 經典:
An Ethnographic Approach to Design

5. Ethnographic Data Analysis:
http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~irene/l17-ethnography_analysis.pdf

Question:
1. how to apply ethnography (/phenomenology) to "cultural probes", how to apply ethnography (/phenomenology) to the study of design artifacts?

2. when to use ethnography? when to use phenomenology?

week 10. strong concepts

1. work-in-progress report of cultural probes

2. Strong concepts

1. Jonas Löwgren. 2013. Annotated portfolios and other forms of intermediate-level knowledge.interactions 20, 1 (January 2013), 30-34.

2. Kristina Höök and Jonas Löwgren. 2012. Strong concepts: Intermediate-level knowledge in interaction design research. ACM Trans. Comput.-Hum. Interact. 19, 3, Article 23 (October 2012), 18 pages.

(pp. 23:11- 23:13)
4 constructs:
1. contextual grounding
2. horizontal grounding
3. vertical grounding
4. reflection, articulation, and abstraction

4.

Between theory and practice: bridging concepts in HCI research

Guidelines for Design Process:
1. Interpret your data with rich interpretation, inspiration, imagination, and discourse.
2. Specify several "themes" related to the above interpretation.
3. Build "strong concepts" (in terms of 4 constructs) to meet these themes
4. Give form to these strong concepts, such as mood boards, and cards.
5. Discuss possible expressions (如何用 expression 開展設計) for your design based on these strong concepts

week 9. probe discussion & calm tech

1. students present work-in-progress of cultural probes

Cultural probes and the value of uncertainty

2. more detail examples in

Making design probes work

Designing for an other Home: Expanding and Speculating on Different Forms of Domestic Life (DIS 18)

Evaluation Probes

Perspective probe: many parts add up to a whole perspective

Medium probes: exploring the medium not the message

See you on the subway: exploring mobile social software

Vulnerability of displacement: challenges for integrating refugees and asylum seekers in host communities

Making history: intentional capture of future memories

calm technology and calmness

week 7. probology

1. students present Cultural Probes for each team
2.

Cultural probes from Rung-Huei Liang

3. introducing
"How HCI Interprets the Probes":

2. X-Probes:
(1) identify probes
(2) urban probes
(3) domestic probes
(4) value probes
(5) empathy probes
(6) mobile probes
(7) digital cultural probes
(8) cognitive probes
(9) technology probes

3. original probes features v.s. x-probes

epistemology-> methodology -> methods
epistemology->probology->probes

References

Cultural probes and the value of uncertainty

Interpreting the Probes for final project, each team:
1. write down your own probology rules (or beliefs)
2. redesign your probes with various media and methods, according to your probology
3. collect probing data
4. interpret the data, seek the meanings, and perhaps the underlying intentionality behind phenomena.

Deadlines: Nov. 16, 2020.
