Study Notes
Data Analysis, Interpretation, and Presentation
- Graphical representations provide an overview of the data
Types of Data and Analysis
- Quantitative data: Expressed as numbers
- Qualitative data: Difficult to measure sensibly as numbers, e.g. how to measure dissatisfaction
- Quantitative analysis: Numerical methods to ascertain size, magnitude, and amount
- Qualitative analysis: Expresses the nature of elements and is represented as themes, patterns, or stories
Quantitative Analysis
- Averages: • Mean: Add up values and divide by the number of data points • Median: Middle value of data when ranked • Mode: Figure that appears most often in the data
- Percentages (%): Be careful not to mislead with numbers!
Interaction Analysis
- Investigates and understands interactions between people and artefacts
- Based on empirical observations, such as videos
- Inductive process in teams, collaboratively
- Contents of the material is logged, materials are extracted, classified, or removed
- Instances of a salient event are assembled and played one after the other
Grounded Theory
- Seeks to develop theory from a systematic analysis of empirical data
- Three levels of ‘coding’: • Open: Identify categories • Axial: Flesh out and link to subcategories • Selective: Form a theoretical scheme
- Researchers are encouraged to draw on their own theoretical backgrounds to inform analysis
Frameworks and Tools
- System-based frameworks: Socio-technical systems theory and Distributed Cognition of Teamwork
- Tools to support data analysis: • Spreadsheet: Simple to use, basic graphs • Statistical packages, e.g. SAS and SPSS • Qualitative data analysis tools, e.g. Nvivo and Dedoose • Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis (CAQDAS) Networking Project
Presenting Findings
- Structured notations have clear syntax and semantics to present particular viewpoint
- Stories are an easy and intuitive approach to communicate ideas
- Summarize findings using a range of notations
Summary
- Data analysis depends on data gathering
- Qualitative and quantitative data may be gathered from any of the three main data gathering approaches
- Percentages and averages are commonly used in Interaction Design
- Analysis of qualitative data may be inductive or deductive
