2 Contents Goals, questions, paradigms Goals, questions, paradigms How to observe How to observe Data Collection Data Collection Indirect Observation: tracking user’s activities Indirect Observation: tracking user’s activities Analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data Analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data Field studies Field studies

3 Goals, questions, paradigms What and when to observe What and when to observe Approached to observation Approached to observation

4 Goals, questions, paradigms Goal and question provide a focus for observation, DECIDE framework. Having goal helps to guide the observation because there is always so much going on. What and when to observe What and when to observe On developing product On developing product starting time : helps understand user’s needs. ending time : examine to satisfy user’s needs.

5 Goals, questions, paradigms Role of evaluator Role of evaluator Onlookers, participant observers, ethnographers Table 12.1 Type of observation Observation Controlled environment (i.e., lab-like) Field environment (i.e., natural) Outsider looking on “Quick and dirty” In usability testing “Quick and dirty” In field studies Insider (Not applicable) Participant observation (e.g., ethnography)

6 Goals, questions, paradigms Approaches to observation Approaches to observation 1. “Quick and dirty” observation Watching and talking to users in a casual way to get immediate feedback. 2. Observation in usability testing Video and interacting logs capture everything. Can watch through a one-way mirror or via TV screen. Observational data is used to see and analyze for user’s action.

7 Observation in usability testing System Observation in usability testing System Goals, questions, paradigms

8 3. Observation in field studies Observers may be anywhere along the outsider – insider spectrum. Colin Robson(1993) – participating level complete participants more marginal participants observers who also participate observers who also participate people who observe from the outside and do not participate. The goal is to cause as little disruption as possible.

9 Goals, questions, paradigms 3. Observation in field studies (Continue) ex) ex) A study of the time spent by boy and girl using technology in the classroom. -> observe and note at the back of room. A study of understanding how the computer integrates with other artifacts and social interacting. -> might take of insider perspective.

10 Goals, questions, paradigms 3. Observation in field studies (Continue) participant observation evaluator participant observation evaluator participate with users in order to learn what they do and how and why they do it. fully participant observer fully participant observer a member of group. being present to share experience and learning the social conventions of the group.

11 Goals, questions, paradigms Determining goals, exploring questions Choosing techniques are necessary steps in the DECIDE framework.

12 In controlled environments In controlled environments In the field environments In the field environments Participant observation and ethnography Participant observation and ethnography How to observe

13 In controlled environments In controlled environments Collect and then Make sense of the data while watching users in controlled environment. Practical issues in controlled environment - where users will be located - equipment test - An informed consent form How to observe

14 In controlled environments In controlled environments the observer doesn’t know what users are thinking, and can only guess from what she sees. Think-aloud technique by Erikson and Simon Require people to say out loud everything that they are thinking and trying to do. ex) I’m typing in http://ics.uci.edu (type) http://ics.uci.edu Now I press the enter key, right? (presses enter key) Now I press the enter key, right? (presses enter key) But if users meet some errors, they could be silent again... Sol) Evaluator reminds him think out loud, but that would be intrusive. -> two people work together so that they talk to each other. How to observe

15 In the field environments In the field environments Events in the field can be complex and rapidly changing. Framework help observers to keep their goals and questions in sight. Collin Robson(1993) Space, Actors, Activities, Objects, Acts, Events, Goals, Feelings How to observe

16 In the field environments In the field environments Checklist of things to plan before going into field Checklist of things to plan before going into field 1. State the initial study goal and question 2. Select the framework 3. Decide how to record events 4. Be prepared to go through your notes and other records 5. Make and review your notes 6. Be prepared refocus your study 7. Think about how you will get the acceptance and trust of those you observe those you observe 8. Think about how to handle sensitive issues (privacy) 9. Consider working as a team 10. Consider checking your notes with an informant or members of the group of the group 11. Plan to look at the situation from different perspectives How to observe

17 Participant observation and ethnography Participant observation and ethnography Checklist for doing ethnography Checklist for doing ethnography Identifying a problems or goal and then ask good questions to be answered by the study Identifying a problems or goal and then ask good questions to be answered by the study The most important part of fieldwork just being there to observe, ask questions, and record. The most important part of fieldwork just being there to observe, ask questions, and record. Collect a variety of data (Interview, retrospectives interview) Collect a variety of data (Interview, retrospectives interview) Be prepared to move backwards and forwards between the broad picture and specific questions Be prepared to move backwards and forwards between the broad picture and specific questions Analyze the data using a holistic approach -> contextualized, usually iterative Analyze the data using a holistic approach -> contextualized, usually iterative How to observe

18 Participant observation and ethnography Participant observation and ethnography When have I observed enough? schedules often dictate when your study end. stop when you stop learning new things when you start to see similar pattern of behavior being repeated. when you have listened to all the main stake holder group and understood their perspectives. How to observe

19 Participant observation and ethnography Participant observation and ethnography How can I adapt ethnography to fit the development process? Ann Rosa Procedure Preparing (Understand/Familiarize/Set Goal /Gain permission) permission) Field study (Establish/Observe and interview/ Follow any lead/ Record) Follow any lead/ Record) Analysis (Compile/Quantify/Reduce and interpret/ Refine the goals) Reporting (Consider/Prepare)

20 Data collection Notes plus still camera Notes plus still camera Audio recording plus still camera Audio recording plus still camera Video Video

21 Data collection Notes plus still camera Notes plus still camera being difficult and tiring to write and observe at the same time bored, the limitation of writing speed (sol) working with another person (sol) working with another person (disadvantage) have to be transcribed Audio recording plus still camera Audio recording plus still camera Useful alternative to note taking and is less intrusive than Video. Drawback: Lack of visual record, transcribing the data So, evaluators use the recording to remind them about important details and as a source of anecdotes for reports.

22 Data collection Video VideoAdvantage Capturing both Audio and Video Data DisadvantageIntrusive. Attention becomes focused on what is seen through the lens. Time-consuming for analyzing video data. ex) 1 hour video recording : over 100 hours of ex) 1 hour video recording : over 100 hours of analysis time analysis time

23 Indirect Observation: tracking user’s activities Diaries Diaries Interaction logs Interaction logs

24 Indirect Observation: tracking user’s activities When ? Impossible to observe directly Diaries Diaries A record of what users did, when did it, what thought about their interactions with the Technology. (Advantage) When User scattered and unreachable person. Inexpensive - no equipment or expertise. Suitable for long term studies. Template and Enable the data to go straight into database. Ex) open-ended online questionnaires (Disadvantage) Rely on participant (reliable/remembering). Participant remember better or worse that they really were.

25 Interaction logs Interaction logs key presses, mouse or other device movement are recorded usually synchronized with A/V log. Has time-stamped (to calculate how long) Explicit counter / Recording number of visitors EX) In study of interact art museum (Researchers at USC) Server log (7 months/ analysis tool : webtrends) when/what /how long/what browser/what country… (Advantage) (Advantage) Unobtrusive (but this also raises ethical concerns) Large volumes of data. Indirect Observation: tracking user’s activities

26 Analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data The first things to do is to “eyeball”. Proceed to analyze it according to the goals and questions. Qualitative analysis to tell a story Qualitative analysis to tell a story Qualitative analysis for categorization Qualitative analysis for categorization Quantitative data analysis Quantitative data analysis Feeding the findings back into design Feeding the findings back into design

27 Qualitative analysis to tell a story Qualitative analysis to tell a story Power of analyzing descriptive data -> being able to tell a convincing story Interview with Sara Bly (User-Centered Design Consultant) Interview with Sara Bly (User-Centered Design Consultant) At the end of each observation period Review their data Review their data Discuss what they observed Discuss what they observed Construct a story from their data Construct a story from their data Analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data

28 Qualitative analysis to tell a story Qualitative analysis to tell a story To summarize about Interview with Sara Bly. Review the data. Record the themes. Record the date and time of each data analysis Session. As themes emerge. Iterate this process (until your story faithfully represents). Report your findings to the development team. Analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data

29 Qualitative analysis to tell a story Qualitative analysis to tell a story Analyzing and reporting ethnographic data Analyzing and reporting ethnographic data - ethnographers reconstruct knowledge to produce detailed description known as rich or thick description. Main activities (Fetterman-1998) Main activities (Fetterman-1998) Look for key events Look for key events Look for patterns of behavior in various situations and among different players Look for patterns of behavior in various situations and among different players Compare sources Compare sources Report your findings in convincing and honest way Report your findings in convincing and honest way S/W tools : NUDIST and Ethnograph S/W tools : NUDIST and Ethnograph Analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data

30 Qualitative analysis for categorization Qualitative analysis for categorization Looking for incident or patterns Common strategy is to look for critical incidents Common strategy is to look for critical incidents ex) Jurgen Koenemann-Belliveau el al(1994) used this form of critical incident analysis to examine breakdown or problems in achieving a programming task and also to identify possible threats of incidents. Using the theory helped the evaluators to focus in relevant Incidents. Analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data

31 Qualitative analysis for categorization Qualitative analysis for categorization analyzing data into categories contents analysis provides another fine grain way of analyzing video data. determined by the evaluation question. must also be reliable so that the analysis can be replicated. EX) training second person and then analyze the same data sample. if there are large discrepancy between each other. -> what? Inter-research reliability rating -> the percentage of agreement between the two researchers. Analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data

32 Analyzing discourse Analyzing discourseDialog Strongly interpretive, pays great attention to context. Language is viewed as a constructive tool and discourse analysis provides a way of focusing upon how people use language to construct versions of their worlds (Fiske,1994) Small changes in wording can change meaning, as the following excerpts indicate (Coyle, 1995) (According to Coyle,) discourse analysis is what you do when you are saying that you are doing discourse analysis… Analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data

33 Quantitative data analysis Quantitative data analysis In case of errors or unusual behavior -> marks the video and records a brief remark. marks the video and records a brief remark. To use this annotated recording 1. Calculate performance time 1. Calculate performance time 2. further analyzed using simple statistics such as means, standard deviations, T- tests, etc. Analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data

34 Feeding the findings back into design Feeding the findings back into design The results can be reported to the design team. Written reports with a overview and detailed content list. Quantitative data -> its value depends on the type of study and its goals. Often both quantitative data analysis are useful because of they provide alternative perspectives. Analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data
