REFLECTION
Experience
Embarking on the Design Research Methods module this semester has been
an enlightening journey, filled with both challenges and rewarding
discoveries. The experience was generally positive, and I felt like I
learned a great deal. Initially, I approached the module with a sense
of trepidation, particularly because reading and extensive research
had never been my strong suits. The second project, in particular,
seemed daunting at first, but as I delved deeper, it became more
manageable and even enjoyable. Over time, I noticed a remarkable
improvement in my reading speed and comprehension, which was a
pleasant surprise.
One of the most significant aspects of this module was the practical
application of research methods in everyday conversations. I found
myself quoting my findings and insights during discussions with
friends and family, which felt both strange and gratifying. This
unexpected integration of academic knowledge into daily life
highlighted the relevance and impact of the skills and information I
was acquiring.
Observation
Throughout the semester, I observed a noticeable shift in my approach
to research and reading. Initially, the sheer volume of information
and the complexity of academic texts seemed overwhelming. However, as
I progressed through the module, I developed a more systematic and
efficient approach to research. Setting up tools like Google Scholar
and utilizing Taylor's library system became second nature, and these
resources proved invaluable in accessing credible and relevant
information.
Another significant observation was the importance of continuous
learning and adaptation. The feedback from instructors and peers
played a crucial role in refining my research methods and improving
the quality of my work. The iterative process of research, feedback,
and revision helped me develop a more critical and analytical mindset,
which is essential for any researcher.
Findings
The main takeaways from this module were both specific to the
research content and broader in terms of personal development. On
a content level, I gained a deep understanding of various research
methodologies and their applications in design. Learning about
coercion versus persuasion, for example, provided valuable
insights into how different strategies can influence behavior and
decision-making. The exploration of societal norms and corporate
behaviors further enriched my knowledge and sparked a keen
interest in the ethical implications of design.
One of the most significant discoveries was the realization of
how crucial it is to know how to find relevant information.
Setting up Google Scholar and mastering the use of Taylor's
library system were instrumental in this regard. These tools not
only facilitated my research for the module but also laid the
groundwork for future academic and professional endeavors. The
ability to efficiently locate and evaluate sources is a
foundational skill that will undoubtedly benefit me in various
contexts.
Reflecting on the overall experience, it's clear that the Design
Research Methods module is an essential component of any design
education. While it comes with its share of frustrations and
challenges, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. The skills
and knowledge gained from this module will stay with me for a long
time, serving as a solid foundation for future research and design
projects.
In conclusion, this semester has been a transformative journey in
learning design research methods. The experience, though initially
intimidating, proved to be immensely rewarding. Observing my
growth in reading, research, and critical thinking was a testament
to the module's effectiveness. The findings, both in terms of
content and personal development, have equipped me with valuable
tools and insights that will guide my future endeavors. Despite
the occasional dread and boredom, the overall impact of this
module has been profoundly positive, leaving a lasting impression
on my educational pathway.
