Contextual Inquiry

In my previous milestone paper, I identified a fundamental challenge that we must overcome in the launch of our application to our target market: Users must be educated in using our application the right way. I identified this as a fundamental problem because our application will not be able to keep the promise of safeguarding users if they do not use the product correctly. The consequences deriving from untrained users are considerably important, as the life of our users can depend on it.

I developed my systemic questions based on what my linear questions were about. I wanted to make sure some of the questions were the same type of question as my linear question but worded in a circular way that would get me more detailed answers and more depth behind her answers. Systemic questions are both circular and reflexive. They are behavioral effect questions, difference questions, hypothetical future questions, and observer perspective questions. The reflexive questions are intended to indirectly influence the family and are predominantly facilitative. The circular questions are more exploratory as the counselor tries to discover the way everything is connected together. Because the

The method I chose for this analysis is in-depth interview. This ethnographic method will be best because it allows me to understand an

1) You are in the midst of the first interview with Mr. K., a recently divorced 55-year-old man. You have introduced yourself and have addressed the other aspects of the beginning phase of practice. You are now ready for an initial exploratory question. At this point, you know only that Mr. K.’s concern relates in some way to the divorce. Therefore, you want to encourage him to explore that topic in depth. Write the words you would say in asking this first question. Once written, specify whether the question is open- or closed-ended. Outline your rationale for choosing this particular question and anticipate how Mr. K. might respond.

You and I have similar opinions on the three-different skills Anna used throughout her role play with Sean. I also stated in my discussion post how Anna was able to utilize open-ended question in a productive way to get more information out of Sean. James and Gilliland stated “open-ended questions encourage clients to respond with full statements and at deeper levels of meaning. Remember that open-ended questions are used to elicit from clients something about their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors are particularly helpful in the problem exploration task” (pg., 75). I believe Anna utilized open-ended questions effectively and like you stated in your post she was able to guide him into the direction she wanted the session to go in order gain

After reading Jones biography it was clear that he created Open Box out of anger. He stated that Open Box speaks to the volatility of the human soul. Jones also said, “God led him to express his emotions through art.” Jones seemed to have a lot of anger from when he was a child.

On Saturday, July 1st, 2 weeks into my first semester of college at FSU this year, I bought a ticket to get on a Greyhound bus and travel 6 hours to visit my family for the weekend. That night I arrived, my mother and I decided to turn my homesickness into something productive. My mother and I would occasionally stop by the Miccosukee Resort & Casino on weekends to listen to live Cuban American musicians play on the second floor of the casino’s building. That night was one of those nights; however, instead of dancing and singing along with my mother, I analyzed the behavior of everyone who was synchronized to the music that was being played, and the strong culture behind it.

The leader of a shared inquiry discussion not only gets you started on the questions that begin the discussion, but also manages its flow. These are the leader challenges participants’ unclear, incorrect, or opposite statements; and for the answer that the participants answer; ask for evidence; and allow further responses. If participants get off the main point, it’s the leader’s responsibility to redirect the question. Leaders must recognize when a question has been settled and then, by posing a new question, they must direct the group’s efforts to another problem to meaning.

Cells and organisms must exchange matter with the environment to grow, reproduce, and maintain organization, and the availability of resources influences responses and activities. For example, water and macronutrients are used to synthesize (produce) new molecules, and, in plants, water is essential for photosynthesis. Organisms have evolved various mechanisms for accumulating sufficient quantities of water, ions, and other nutrients and for keeping them properly balanced to maintain homeostasis.

Simply gathering opinions on an object or document is market research or qualitative research rather than usability testing. Usability testing usually involves systematic observation under controlled conditions to determine how well people can use the product.[8] However, often both qualitative and usability testing are used in combination, to better understand users' motivations/perceptions, in addition to their actions.

My new perception about my context is that I need to narrow my focus on a significant issue that are beneficial toward improving the quality of worship in and outside my context. There are a plethora of things that are great about my context. I believe that if I can channel the elements that have foster success in within the church the vision that I have will become a reality. I think that in my context the congregation has been focused on the failure too much and not the many great achievements that have occurred. The task at hands is now to shift the mindsets of the people from negative to positive by utilizing appreciative inquiry to help others change they way they think and react in certain

This contextual project is based on the 10 modules from Block 6 which has 12 modules in all. 10 concepts were identified from the modules. I looked at the concepts in respect to personal context, social context, Application to my place of work, Current research and usefulness to the current world.
