Research Methodologies



Recently I've been indulging myself into hard bodies of text (sad, I know!) trying to understand different methods and techniques of doing better research. I was pleasently surprised at how little I knew about these techniques.



Design Research: Methods and Perspectives is an excellent book by Brenda Laurel that interestingly explains the perspectives designer's should consider when doing research. Below I have mentioned some of those methods of research and I will be elaborating each one progressively throughout the next week or so, so stay tuned!

1. Experimental

2. Qualitative

3. Quantitative

4. Speculative

5. Experiential

6. Performative

7. Discovery-Led / Poetic

8. Formal / Structural

9. Procedural
