What is Ethnographic Research?
Ethnography is a research method that involves immersing oneself in the natural context of individuals to collect quantitative insights into their behavior and culture. This method emphasizes observation, engagement, and analysis of human experiences in real-world settings. Ethnographic research is widely used in UX design since it provides ...
7 Simple Ways to Get Better Results From Ethnographic Research
7. Map Your Insights and Check for Objectivity. 1. Curate a Diverse Research Team. When you build your research team, you should ensure the team represents a variety of diverse backgrounds—pick a team who vary in ethnicity, gender, age and discipline. People with a mix of different backgrounds will possess a wide range of capabilities and ...
The Benefits of Using Ethnographic Research for User Experience …
The benefits of this approach include: Discovering needs that aren’t met. Unlike user research which is often focused on what a user needs from a specific product; ethnographic research takes a further step back and looks at the behaviours of a population. This enables you to take a look at which needs that population has that aren’t being ...
What is User Research?
User research is the methodic study of target users—including their needs and pain points—so designers have the sharpest possible insights to make the best designs. User researchers use various methods to expose problems and design opportunities and find crucial information to use in their design process. Discover why user research is a ...
Ethnography
In ethnomethodologically informed ethnographic research on work, the understanding of any work setting is derived from the study of that setting itself, rather than from any highly structured model or theory of work organisation or work processes; that is, it ties itself closely to the observed data, it is 'data-driven'.
What is Quantitative Research?
Quantitative research is the methodology which researchers use to test theories about people’s attitudes and behaviors based on numerical and statistical evidence. Researchers sample a large number of users (e.g., through surveys) to indirectly obtain measurable, bias-free data about users in relevant situations.
Analysing Your Ethnographic Research with User Experience in Mind
The Final Analysis. The beauty of ethnographic research is its ability to peer into the unknown and bring back data that you weren’t expecting. Of course, it’s nice to find data that supports your existing hypotheses but you want to review the data on first pass for the surprises. Go through the notes and any data generated from the project ...
User Research: What It Is and Why You Should Do It
User research, or “design research,” as it’s sometimes called, covers a wide range of methods. It can mean anything from doing ethnographic interviews with your target group, to classical usability studies, to quantitative measurements of return on investment (ROI) on your user experience design.
What is Customer Research?
Customer research may be conducted via a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods such as interviews, surveys, focus groups, and ethnographic field studies. It also commonly involves doing desk research of online reviews, forums, and social media to explore what customers are saying about a product.
43. Semi-structured qualitative studies
The Encyclopedia of Human-Computer Interaction, 2nd Ed. Chapter 43. 43. Semi-structured qualitative studies. By Ann Blandford. 495. Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) addresses problems of interaction design: delivering novel designs, evaluating existing designs, and understanding user needs for future designs.
