Download or read book Design research in software development Constructing and Linking Research Questions Objectives Methods and Outcomes UUM Press written by Norshuhada Shiratuddin and published by UUM Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design research is grounded on the iterative Triangulation Methodology (ITM), where theoretical, development and empirical research approaches are triangulated to accomplish the design research objectives. Constructing and associating research gaps, questions, objectives, methods and outcomes are imperative in a research. However, not linking all these and choosing the wrong and poorly designed methods are common especially among inexperienced researchers and students. Therefore, researchers should practice strategies in identifying the right methods to collect data or perform experiment that can meet the predefined objectives and determined research problems. This book is aimed at providing some of the likely strategies. It contains personalized strategies and examples that are useful for starting a design research in any field particularly in software and application development. The examples described are real studies that we conducted together with our research team members.

Download or read book Pragmatic Approach to Qualitative Case Study Research Learning by Doing A Case of Distance Learning Research in Malaysia UUM Press written by Hisham Dzakiria and published by UUM Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book for anyone who wants to undertake an engaging, satisfying, productive, and a more successful career as a qualitative researcher. This book is intended to contribute to the popularisation of qualitative research in Malaysia. Qualitative studies in educational research are very limited in many countries; and to date, there has been very little work done using this form of educational inquiry in Malaysia. The dominant tradition has followed the positivist paradigm. A qualitative case study offers a different approach and generates a range of information of different qualities from that obtained using traditional approaches. This book provides both the theories and practical practices to undertake a qualitative study. The conception of this book began from the assumption that our world is interpreted through language as means of communication and understanding. Writing narratives of experience is becoming a common way of describing how people make sense of their experience or problems at hand. At the root of the naturalistic inquiry exhibited in this book, is an interest in understanding the experience of learners and the meanings they make of the distance learning experience at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM). This study was designed as a single case focusing on distance learners of different backgrounds in UUM.
