Hihi, it's me, Edmund again!=)
Today, we came back to school for consultation on our MOI proj 1.
Before that, we did some researches on the project already. Nadiah interviewed the elderly people under her block. Yilin asked teenagers around our age about their interaction with the elderly people. For me, I asked adults around my parents' age whether will they help the elderly people.
We told Wahidah about our design problems and the purpose of doing the two programmes (design solutions). Wahidah told us to interview more people as too little people may turned out to be a 'bias' source. Other than that, we need to ask in depth which means we must find out the reasons why the interviewees say 'yes' or 'no' to our questions.
We need to research more on the benefits for the elderly people being offered by other places such as RCs etc. For this weekend, I will find ask more adults and set questions that are relevant and useful. I will also think of my two programmes and compile everything together.
Hopefully by monday, we can compile all our research and choose our two design programmes.
The presentation will be on thursday and we will have enough time to work on it.
I believe we can produce a good work!=)So good luck to us! Haha...=D
Hello! Nadiah here! :)
Today, we only had consultation based on the research ideas we had so far. For now, i am glad that my group is on the right track. We had divided the work the day earlier to prepare for consultation today. Yilin had interviewed young teenagers around our age, she asked them questions such as if they were comfortable to interact with their senior citizens. Edmund had interviewed working adults and we found out that they care for the senior citizens more than the young generations cared for. I interviewed the senior citizens near my housing area and i found out that they only wanted to have time for communication, they didnt want to have any activities apart from a dinner together.
Wahidah told us that we should research on a bigger number so that the results wont be biased and we should think about what the third age council defines as old. We should also look into the Golden Age and Silver age. Another way to improve on our work is to know the background of the people we have interviewed to show a clearer unbiased result.
Overall, we are going to do more in depth research and by monday we will have our research done and then we will move on to plan for the programmes :)
That's all! :)
hello im yilin!
sorry for the late posting.
so on friday, we went back to school for consultation only.
Before the consultation, three of us were given different research to do. i had to interview the young adults, basically teenagers around our ages. i had to asked them about interaction and activities with elderly. nadiah had to interview elderly, asking them what would they like to do. edmund had to interview adults, and found out their communcation and interaction between elderly.
during consultation, we told wahidah what was the design problems and based on the design problems how we going to think on idea to solve those problems.
we also told her the outcome of our interview, and we found out we need to ask more question to understand them more, and it easier for us to know what we have to do.
also, the numbers of people we interview are very less, and it led to bias result.
so what we had to do, is to found more people to ask, and asking them more questions to give us the ideas of what they're thinking.
that's all, hope tomorrow we will have enough information to start planning for the programmes!
