Choosing a Mixed Methods Design
04-Creswell (Designing)-45025.qxd 5/16/2006 8:35 PM Page 58 CHAPTER 4 CHOOSING A MIXED METHODS DESIGN esearch designs are procedures for collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and reporting data in research studies. They represent different mod- R els for doing research, and these models have distinct names and procedures associated with them. Rigorous research designs are important because they guide the methods decisions that researchers must make dur- ing their studies and set the logic by which they make interpretations at the end of studies. Once a researcher has selected a mixed methods approach for a study, the next step is to decide on the specific design that best addresses the research problem. What designs are available, and how do researchers decide which one is appropriate for their studies? Mixed methods researchers need to be acquainted with the major types of mixed methods designs and the common variants among these designs. Important considerations when choosing designs are knowing the intent, the procedures, and the strengths and challenges associated with each design. Researchers also need to be familiar with the timing, weighting, and mixing decisions that are made in each of the different mixed methods designs. This chapter will address • The classifications of designs in the literature • The four major types of mixed methods designs, including their intent, key procedures, common variants, and inherent strengths and challenges 58 04-Creswell (Designing)-45025.qxd 5/16/2006 8:35 PM Page 59 Choosing a Mixed Methods Design–●–59 • Factors such as timing, weighting, and mixing, which influence the choice of an appropriate design CLASSIFICATIONS OF MIXED METHODS DESIGNS Researchers benefit from being familiar with the numerous classifications of mixed methods designs found in the literature. -
Introducing New Design Disciplines Into a Traditional Industrial Design Program
NordDesign 2016 August 10 – 12, 2016 Trondheim, Norway Introducing New Design Disciplines Into a Traditional Industrial Design Program Bryan Howell, Camilla Gwendolyn Stark, Tyler James Christiansen, Ryan Hunter Hofstrand, Janae Lois Pettit, Samantha Nieves Van Slooten, Kathryn Joyce Willett Brigham Young University [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The disciplines of design and design research are rapidly transforming. Sanders and Stappers (2013) illustrate how traditional design disciplines focused on product are being replaced with emerging disciplines focusing on “people in the context of their lives.” As an industry veteran and experienced design educator, I am well versed in the traditional method of effectively making consumer-oriented objects, but in the rapidly evolving world of contemporary design this expertise seemingly becomes less relevant each year. This paper reviews the quiet reframing of our sponsored third year industrial design studio course to explore aspects of emerging design disciplines, sharing five student projects that demonstrate the natural evolution in mindset from product-oriented to context-oriented problem definitions. Finally, it discusses how these emerging disciplines align with the values of the millennial generation and the importance educators include training in new disciplines to remain relevant in the contemporary design world.

Osborn, Ph.D ABSTRACT This thesis is a cAse study of how a vintAge fashion brand cAn be innovated through humAn centered design for the current fashion industry. IDEO, global design and innovation company, has clAssified humAn centered design as A method for identifying viAble, feAsible and desirable solutions with the integration of multidisciplinary insights (IDEO). For this thesis, the brand of focus is FUBU, for us by us, a 90’s era streetweAr brand that is a product of New York City hip-hop culture. A succinct proposAl for FUBU’s resurgence in the fashion industry will be designed by first identifying the viAbility of the fashion industry and feAsibility of the brand’s revival. ViAbility will be determined by detAiling the current stAte of the fashion and streetweAr industries. This is to estAblish the opportunities and threAts of new and returning entrants into the industry. FeAsibility will be declAred by reseArching the history and current stAte of the brand, its cultural relevancy, and its strengths and weAknesses. -
Changing Cultures of Design Identifying Roles in a Co-Creative Landscape
Changing Cultures of Design Identifying roles in a co-creative landscape Marie Elvik Hagen Department of Product Design Norwegian University of Science and Technology ABSTRACT The landscape of design is expanding and designers today are moving from expert practice to work with users as partners on increasingly complex issues. This article draws up the lines of the emerging co-creative design practice, and discusses the changing roles of the designer, the user as a partner, and design practice itself. Methods and tools will not be considered, as the roles will be discussed in terms of their relations. The co-design approach breaks down hierarchies and seeks equal participation. Research suggests that the designer needs to be responsive or switch tactics in order to take part in a co-creative environment. A case study exploring co-creative roles complements the theory, and finds that the designer role needs to be flexible even when having equal agency as partners and other stakeholders. Sometimes it is necessary to lead and facilitate as long as it is a collaborative decision. Bringing users in as partners in the process changes the design culture, and this article suggests that Metadesign can be the holistic framework that the design community need in order to understand how the different design practices are connected. KEYWORDS: Co-design, Co-creativity, Roles in the Design Process, Participatory Design, Metadesign, Cultures of participation, Design Agenda 1.

Transformative Services and Transformation Design Daniela Sangiorgi [email protected] Imaginationlancaster, Lancaster University
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Archivio istituzionale della ricerca - Politecnico di Milano Transformative Services and Transformation Design Daniela Sangiorgi [email protected] ImaginationLancaster, Lancaster University Abstract This paper claims how the parallel evolution of the conception of services and of Design for Services toward more transformational aims, would require a collective reflection on and elaboration of guiding methodological and deontological principles. By illustrating connections with similar evolutions in Participatory Design (from ‘Design for use before use’ to ‘Design for Design after Design’), Public Health Research (patient engagement and ‘empowerment’) and Consumer Research (Transformative Consumer Research), the author identifies key characteristics of transformative practices that ask for more ‘reflexivity’ on the designers’ side. Developing Design profession as contributing to society transformative aims is extremely valuable, but it carries with it also a huge responsibility. Designers, the author argues, need to reflect not only on how to conduct transformative processes, but also on which transformations they are aiming to, why, and in particular for the benefit of whom. KEYWORDS: transformative services, transformation design, Design for Services Introduction At its onset Service Design has been looking at services as a different kind of ‘products’, exploring modes to deal with the differentiating service qualities (originally thoughts
