This is a
short summary of the chapters regarding data gathering,
data analysis and establishing requirements
The first chapter
is about Data gathering,
where different techniques
is explained and discussed. The main gathering techniques for interaction design is interviews, questionnaires
and observations. One of the most interesting
parts from the chapter is the five issues that are broth up. These five issues should be taken
in account for a data gathering to be successful. In the sub chapter about the
interviews we learn the importance of how to construct an interview and how it
might affect the result. To choose a Focal group that you want to make a product for and not choose a
Focal group that likes your product is clearly shove in this chapter.
In the following
chapter the difference between quantitative and qualitative data and analysis. Quantitative
data could be summarized to a data that can easily be described in numbers,
where qualitative data is data that include descriptions, quotes from
interviews, images and more. Also that one data gathering techniques can result
in both types of data. This got me thinking, should we maybe expand our data
gathering method with questionnaires and more observations?
How to analyse
the gathered data is described in different methods, where I find the
sub chapter about analyses of qualitative data and the three methods: Grounded theory, Distributed
cognition and Activity theory the most interesting due to my personal gathered
data being of a qualitative typ.
In the last
chapter, establishment of requirements, we learn that it is important to set up
requirements for the project such as required gathering, required analysis and in our case required presentation in the
form of who our presentation
needs to be clear, and just to our ides.
