Research Method Disscussion: Primary - Secondary - Tertiary
Secondary
(you are the second person to see after primary source)
-Books
-Internet
-Journal - reviewed papers
-Periodical (newspaper, magazine, monthly newsletter)
-Interviews with researcher
-Documentary and Film/TV
-Radio/Audio
-Librarian (Dean Walter - science library)
Primary
- Interviews (phone, e-mails, in person, skype)
-OBSERVATION (obtusive, unobtrusive)
obtrusive: asking questions, keep the same questions, leading questions (don't lead solutions, look for problems not solutions
unobtrusive: your not asking questions, neutral
-Experimentation
-Survey
-Focus Groups
-Immersive Research (Patricia Moore)
Tertiary
-Making things (although modles can be primary)
-IDEO shopping cart
-Things that inform, but are direct
-Vaccume formed parts (sheet metal forming would go into either primary or secondary because they apply to the process more directly)
