Study Notes
Research in HCI
- Human-Computer interaction (HCI) research explores the intersection between humans and technology.
- HCI researchers investigate how people interact with computers and other digital devices.
- Researchers study user behavior, cognition, and perception to design intuitive and user-friendly interfaces.
- Research topics in HCI include:
- Developing new input devices
- Designing user interfaces for specific applications
- Creating accessibility features to make technology more inclusive
Research Methods
- Qualitative Research is used to gain insight into human behavior and motivations.
- Methods include:
- In-depth interviews
- Focus groups
- Participant observation
- Methods include:
- Quantitative Research is used structured data to understand patterns and trends.
- Methods include:
- Structured observation
- Surveys
- Experiments
- Methods include:
- Mixed Methods combine quantitative and qualitative research methods to gain a comprehensive understanding of complex phenomena.
The Meaning of Research
- The word "research" combines "re" and "search."
