Approaches and Frameworks for HCI Research Summary

Approaches and Frameworks for HCI Research by John Long (University College London)

This research textbook, designed for young Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researchers beginning their careers, surveys the research models and methods in use today and offers a general framework to bring together the disparate concepts. HCI spans many disciplines and professions, including information science, applied psychology, computer science, informatics, software engineering and social science making it difficult for newcomers to get a good overview of the field and the available approaches. The book's rigorous 'approach-and-framework' response is to the challenge of retaining growth and diversification in HCI research by building up a general framework from approaches for Innovation, Art, Craft, Applied, Science and Engineering. This general framework is compared with other HCI frameworks and theories for completeness and coherence, all within a historical perspective of dissemination success. Readers can use this as a model to design and assess their own research frameworks and theories against those reported in the literature.

Approaches and Frameworks for HCI Research Reviews

'In a dynamic field such as HCI/user experience studies, there is seldom time to stop and think about the wider research enterprise. John Long's book will be an invaluable resource and stimulus to encourage researchers to think more deeply about what they are doing and how they are doing it.' Philip Barnard, Honorary Member, MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Cambridge University
'Written by one of the founders of British HCI, this book is a call to action for a more rigorous, unified and cumulative discipline. In doing so, John Long equips the next generation of HCI researchers with the conceptual tools they will need to ensure the future of the field is in good hands.' Abigail Sellen, Microsoft Research
'This insightful book presents a General Framework to discuss and assess specific HCI research frameworks. This unavoidable debate is necessary to enable the HCI research community to progress and develop into a mature discipline. This fundamental book is written in a very concise and fair manner. I strongly recommend reading this book and learn from one of the best.' Matthias Rauterberg, Eindhoven University of Technology
