RESEARCH AS PROGRESS
KNOWLEDGE --> ANALYSIS --> COMPREHENSION -->APPLICATION --> EVALUATION --> SYNTHESIS
The process of working will always be more important than the outcome.
- is this because the process invites all the reflection and learning that informs the outcome?
- all the learning curves happen in the making process/ the research process
- in research we learn all the components that drive the direction of the outcome
*Failing helps us to realise new ways of practice, FAIL QUICKER
APPROACHES TO IDEA GENERATION:
1. Stimulated approach - search for inspiration/ developing associations and connections
2. Systematic approach - collection and modification of components, characteristics and means of expression.
3. Intuitive approach - development of thought process.
STIMULATED <---> INTUITIVE <---> SYSTEMATIC <---> STIMULATED
In my current practice I notice the systematic approach as the most prominent, particularly in the initial stages of projects. It seems that the collection of components aids a more informed outcome and I find collecting photographs and observations rather essential to the initial generation of my ideas.
RESEARCH IS ALWAYS DRIVEN BY A QUESTION
1. Primary research - developed and collected for a specific use
- OWN RESEARCH DEFINED BY OWN SET PURPOSE
2. Secondary research - published of recorded research used for a purpose elsewhere
- USING EXISTING RESEARCH TO INFORM OWN DEVELOPMENT
3. Quantitative research - collecting through measure, numerical data, statistical analysis
- APPLICATION OF SURVEYS/ STATISTICS/ MEASUREMENTS
4. Qualitative research - interacting with people and observing subjects, description without numerical data
- PERCEPTIONS AND VIEWS BASED ON STUDIED OBSERVATIONS
