In this study, we explore different types of engagement in research within the Design Science Research paradigm. We also identify and elaborate on a new form of engagement where the researcher, acting as a curator, accomplishes design science research projects that rely on accounts of design by practitioners. We define a set of requirements that curators should follow when conducting their research. To illustrate the approach, we present an illustrative project in which changes in the design function in systems engineering are investigated, using accounts of practice shared on a blogging platform. The unique form of engagement discussed in this paper enables researchers to rapidly generalize design knowledge emerging from practice.

摘要

In this study, we explore different types of engagement in research within the Design Science Research paradigm. We also identify and elaborate on a new form of engagement where the researcher, acting as a curator, accomplishes design science research projects that rely on accounts of design by practitioners. We define a set of requirements that curators should follow when conducting their research. To illustrate the approach, we present an illustrative project in which changes in the design function in systems engineering are investigated, using accounts of practice shared on a blogging platform. The unique form of engagement discussed in this paper enables researchers to rapidly generalize design knowledge emerging from practice.
