Where this is the case the review of literature must navigate multiple research fields while also resolving relations between orthodox disciplinary and non-disciplinary sources of knowledge, including those emanating from design’s strong vocational foundations. Managing multiple contextual frameworks to arrive at a creative fusion of methods and principles represents a significant practical and intellectual challenge for research students and supervisors. The literature on ‘Mode 2’ knowledge production in<br /> higher education can provide guidance here, describing research that is fundamentally applied, industry-oriented and interdisciplinary. The paper draws on theoretical discussion of the reflexive and situated nature of Mode 2 knowledge production to establish some parameters for the literature review in applied design research, complementing this with three narrative case studies of professional doctorate projects from an Australian university.</p> http://www.designresearchnetwork.org/drn/content/barnes-%2526amp%3B-melles-%282007%29#comments Literature Review contextual review http://www.designresearchnetwork.org/drn/crss/node/496 Thu, 01 May 2008 06:08:32 +0200 gmelles 496 at http://www.designresearchnetwork.org/drn http://www.designresearchnetwork.org/drn/content/grundregeln-f%C3%BCr-den-messwert-und-den-bericht-von-quellen-der-interdisziplin%C3%A4ren-designforsch <p>Dieses Papier, das bei der Konferenz IASDR07 geliefert wird, adressiert die bestimmten Herausforderungen an das Durchführen eines Kontextberichts (contextual review) in der interdisziplinären Designforschung.</p> <p><a href="http://dori3.typepad.com/my_weblog/iasdr07/index.html" title="http://dori3.typepad.com/my_weblog/iasdr07/index.html">http://dori3.typepad.com/my_weblog/iasdr07/index.html</a><br /> <a href="http://researchbank.swinburne.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository?f1=subject%3A%22Design%22&amp;expert=title%3A%22Managing+interdisciplinarity%3A+a+discussion+of+the+contextual+review+in+design+research%22" title="http://researchbank.swinburne.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository?f1=subject%3A%22Design%22&amp;expert=title%3A%22Managing+interdisciplinarity%3A+a+discussion+of+the+contextual+review+in+design+research%22">http://researchbank.swinburne.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository?f1=...</a></p> http://www.designresearchnetwork.org/drn/content/grundregeln-f%C3%BCr-den-messwert-und-den-bericht-von-quellen-der-interdisziplin%C3%A4ren-designforsch#comments Literature Review contextual review http://www.designresearchnetwork.org/drn/crss/node/495 Thu, 01 May 2008 06:02:44 +0200 gmelles 495 at http://www.designresearchnetwork.org/drn
