Part 2
1. In the Finding Design Qualities in a Tangible Programming Space (Fernaeus & Tholander) and Differentiated Driving Range (Lundström) empirical data is gathered using prototypes. In Differentiated Driving Range case, range and speed are measured variables. In Finding Design Qualities in a Tangible Programming Space case, children activities, interaction with different resources, programming mode are measured to get data.
2. Practical design work is a way to get knowledge. Experiment built on a design work richer understanding of the problem and arise possible obstacles which broaden knowledge about the research field.
3. Research designing is based on experiment when the prototypes are tested in defined and very concrete circumstances. Design in general is a tool to visualize the matter but in research project that tool is implied according to certain criterions which are measured. Also, creation of research designing is based on pre-studies and analysis of current problem.
4. It is possible to replicate mentioned researches but it order to repeat the experiment the same prototype should be used. Nevertheless if the participants vary, then there is a risk to collect different data. Also, researches’ background influences the process of investigation. For instance, how they construct the design of the research is one way personal and biased choice. What data they collect also a matter of personal choice.
5. Design research is built on the creation and test of prototype. Also, design research does not draw solid conclusions only the possible solutions and bring obstacles and highlight the possible way of coping with current researching problems, and point out what should be taken into the consideration to future researches. While the goal of quantitative or qualitative analysis is to draw the conclusions, indicate causalities, and correlations, and deny or confirm the hypothesis.
