What is Research
- Systematic and creative investigation into study to establish facts and new conclusion.
- Increase knowledge and applying it in new ways to solve problem
How to Start
- Identify field of Interest by reading or studying
-
Further research on a research problem that I am interested to
conduct
- Write it in a form of statement
- Formulate research question
- Identify Research Objectives
Method of Research Proposal
- What the proposed research all about
- What it is trying to archive
- How will it go about doing it
- What we will learn about it and why it is worth learning
- proposal led to what will be done in the research
-
Proposal communicates the investigator's intention and research
plan to the client

Presentation - Understanding MBTI: Unlocking Personality Insights by GUAN WEE LUN
Reflection
Experience
My experience in the Design Research Methodology module was centered on conducting a quantitative survey to investigate the link between MBTI personality types and UI design preferences. Applying the methodologies learned, I moved from theoretical psychological frameworks to analyzing concrete data from 61 participants. This process was a challenging yet insightful application of research principles, underscoring the complexity of translating abstract traits into actionable design guidelines and highlighting the critical importance of a structured research methodology to derive meaningful conclusions.
Observation
about this module, I observe that my presentation skill was poor to present my initial research, as there is too much of data, and can only compile them in the slide, it's should be below 10 minutes but my presentation were way over it, about 16 minutes, I will need to control my presentation flow in future
Findings
The primary finding is that research actually helps in UX design for my future career path, as it's a study to data and to collect how user reacted to all those design, research is not only collecting data, it's a study to broaden my minds on how other think, what can be learn
