The Doctoral Course of the International Design Observation Network is jointly organised by the University of Grenoble, France (Dr. Eric Blanco), and Lulea University of Technology, Sweden (Dr. Peter Törlind). It consists of several web seminars (June 2011) and co-located workshops in July (04.-08.07.2011).
The iDON doctoral seminar aims to give PhD students the practical skills in designing research studies, performing observations and analyzing empirical data. The seminar will focus on the observation of teams to understand the complex social interaction between members in a design team. The main approach is built upon seminars and reflective workshops lead by experienced researchers within the area of methodologies for field studies and design observations.
Besides the issues of when, how and what to observe, other concerns are :
Differences and similarities in field work, design experiments and design observation
Application of observations in different research fields
The role of the researcher
Research quality, validation and legitimation
Hypotheses, research purposes, research questions
Measurements, units of analysis, coding schemes
The IDON seminar is an opportunity to share best practices with researchers that are active within various disciplines within the design science field, and to build a network among research fellows.
