IA Research Skills

Each and every project requires research skills; one has know how to do research, in order to do analysis for IA Design Plan Reports.


Educational Research—
Information Architecture &
Corporate Training

Information Architects conceptualize and write a research proposal that identifies and analyzes an educational research problem in Information Architecture; develop research methodology and techniques, including sufficient familiarity with descriptive statistics to interpret writing; and apply findings to field problems in Information Architecture (IA MAEd, ISED 797; College of Education's Interdisciplinary Studies Department).

Information Architects identify and examine qualitative and quantitative research, read and review Information Architecture literature regarding current trends and best practices, perform a literature review, via oral and written examinations recount (to relate with extensive details) researched findings, develop research instruments (surveys, questionnaires, interviews, observation), complete an online Certification by the National Institutes of Health about Conducting Human Subjects Research (Certification successfully completed), and validate findings.

For my specialization in Information Architecture, I did my IA research project on Information Architecture and The IA Model, including usability testing with Dr. Hyun (Harvard University).
