More research methods anyone can use

A pointer to an article by Emily Esposito (at invisionapp.com - link)

source: invisionapp.com 
Emily outlines four research categories: primary, secondary, generative, evaluative.
I feel that these categories map more or less closely across the IDEO categories of: look, ask, learn, try

designingwithpeople.org - methods for research projects

More information about research methods?

Review 'designing with people', an archive of user research and design methods hosted by designingwithpeople.org at the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design at the Royal College of Art.

As a researcher/analyst our job is to observe others in the field, gather traces/evidence, learn from or have our subjects teach us, inquire, prototype, test ideas etc. The various research attitudes (look, ask, learn, try) are simply categories for organising our methods, nor are they necessarily applied in fixed/specific order sequences.

Choose the right methods for your project

The i-design project developed four practical research guide frameworks focusing on: people, activities, methods and ethics (link).

i-design is a joint initiative of the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design Royal College of Art, the Engineering Design Centre University of Cambridge, the Well-being Institute University of Cambridge, and the Loughborough Design School University of Loughborough.
