Exercise One reflections
This is written a while after exercise one, but nontheless here it is:
It's a new group, but we know each other from before, and today's been a very confusing moment even though we all came prepared. Nevertheless, we have got some done, but not as much as we would have liked to. We stayed a bit after the lesson and got our thoughts together, and we seem to have reached a conclusion on what sort of project we would like to do, we decided that lesuire travelers in the ages 20-40 would be the best target groups for different reasons. We divided the thought process of our choice into two parts:
1. Brainstorming- where we under the ideas of Robertson and Robertson, Kelley etc. allow ourselves to be silly. Furthermore we keep records, include all participants etc.
2. Preparation of semi-structured interviews through using a unbiased framework- working through questions such as "Why?", "When?", "What?", Where?".
Mostly we think this group is an interesting one because it is very broad and we might be able to find a lot of interesting findings in this group. Leisure seems less monotone than those traveling for work and that is perhaps the main reason this is our target group.
As a group we are quite confused and haven't really figured out the "where,what, and whens" but we are fairly certain the interviews will go smoothly. We have decided on semi structured interviews and our location of interest is the ferry between djurgården and slussen. We feel those interviews will be less rushed than those on the subway since people won't be getting off and on at every stop.
Grounding the reflection in HCI theory one must think about different aspects of our choosing process. We are gathering information in a semi-structured interview and the only pressure factor will probably be time, thus it seems reasonable to collect information in a setting were stress is not as prevalent. Furthermore going by the criteria that people are leisure traveling, they will be even less stressed and thus more inclined to give more elaborate answers in theory. We will then identify our participants by trial and error(and maybe a bit of observation), but this won't alter the results. Our relationship with the participants will be somewhat informal, since we do not believe that we have any grounding to establish an authoritarian relationship, nor do we find it necessary. Our data recording is also not too important(as long as we write everything down or record it!) due to the nature of the semi-structured interview.
In summary, we have chosen the appropriate way of gathering and recording data in our perspective, since a lot of this interview is qualitative and not quantitative, where rigorousness of data gathering matters more.
