Why Should the Q-method be Integrated Into the Design Science Research? A Systematic Mapping Study
2019
The Q-method has been utilized over time in various areas, including information systems. In this study, we used a systematic mapping to illustrate how the Q-method was applied within Information Systems (IS) community and proposing towards the integration of Q-method into the Design Sciences Research (DSR) process as a tool for future research DSR-based IS studies. In this mapping study, we collected peer-reviewed journals from Basket-of-Eight journals and the digital library of the Association for Information Systems (AIS). Then we grouped the publications according to the process of DSR, and different variables for preparing Q-method from IS publications. We found that the potential of t…
Patterns of Sociotechnical Design Preferences of Chatbots for Intergenerational Collaborative Innovation: A Q Methodology Study
2022
Chatbot technology is increasingly emerging as a virtual assistant. Chatbots could allow individuals and organizations to accomplish objectives that are currently not fully optimized for collaboration across an intergenerational context. This paper explores the preferences of chatbots as a companion in intergenerational innovation. The Q methodology was used to investigate different types of collaborators and determine how different choices occur between collaborators that merge the problem and solution domains of chatbots’ design within intergenerational settings. The study’s findings reveal that various chatbot design priorities are more diverse among younger adults than senior adults. Ad…
Varhaiskasvatuksen laatu suomalaisten ja portugalilaisten lastentarhanopettajien näkökulmasta : Q-menetelmällinen tutkimus
2017
Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan suomalaisten ja portugalilaisten lastentarhanopettajien näkökulmia varhaiskasvatuksen laadusta. Kasvatusta ei koskaan toteuteta tyhjiössä vaan se luodaan vallitsevan kulttuurin ja siinä toimivien yksilöiden kesken. Toimintaperiaatteet ja käytännöt ovat ajallisesti, paikallisesti ja sosiaalisesti rakentuneita, jolloin niin varhaiskasvatus kuin sen laadun määritelmätkin vaihtelevat eri kulttuureissa. Tarkastelemalla rinnakkain eri kulttuureja on mahdollista päästä lähemmäksi sitä, mitä kunkin maan varhaiskasvatus on ytimeltään. Tutkimus toteutettiin Q-menetelmää käyttäen ja tutkimusjoukkona oli 24 suomalaista ja 25 portugalilaista lastentarhanopettajaa. Suome…
Understanding the challenges of rapid digital transformation : the case of COVID-19 pandemic in higher education
2021
Rapid digital transformation is taking place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing organisations and higher educational institutions to change their working and learning culture. This study explores the challenges of rapid digital transformation arising during the pandemic in the higher education context. This research used the Q-methodology to understand the nine challenges that higher education encountered, perceived differently as four main patterns: (1) Digital-nomad enterprise; (2) Corporate-collectivism; (3) Well-being-oriented; and (4) Pluralistic. This study broadens the current understanding of digital transformation, especially in higher education. The nine challenges and four pat…
