Evaluation Methods in Informatics
This is a collection of short descriptions of evaluation methods used in informatics research.
Contents
Ethnography
Cognitive_ethnography is one of the tools which could be used to study effective manners for instruction of BMI in professional schools. A study to delineate the present state of informatics curricula at healthcare professional schools, the present status of BMI knowledge held by students, at the beginning and completion of their healthcare professional education, and a systematic analysis of what should be included in a standardized, structured BMI curriculum to meet the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) standards would benefit from the use of cognitive ethnography.
Critical Incident Technique
Critical Incident Technique (CIT) is a form of criterion sampling. [Patton, 2002] CIT relies upon interviews of subjects who fall into a defined category or categories and who carry out defined work tasks. Recurring interview topics are recorded as incidents, and the incidents are analyzed so to develop a psychological profile of the subjects. The goal of CIT research is to understand the weaknesses involved with a particular task and to provide solutions to resolve those weaknesses. [Wikipedia, 2007]
