What problem did you identify?
The problem was 'How to make a paper airplane?'
What evidence did you find to support your decisions?
To help support out decisions we looked at how to make the problem more relavent in today's context. It was found that paper plane instruction manuals were a very good form of evidence to help us understand the easiest way to communicated how to make a plane. When it came to progressing the idea further, looking into existing apps and plane templates help make our decision with the direction to go with the solving the problem.
What methods did you use to gather your evidence and what forms did it take?
Mainly used secondary research to find existing plane templates and instructions. For example using the internet and looking in blogs. However, we also created our own paper planes to test out certain questions that we had discovered along the way. For example 'Does the length of the wings and tail affect the flight of the plane'?
(categorise your research using terms primary, secondary, quantitative and qualitative)
What methods of research did you find useful and why?
Secondary qualitative method was useful because it allowed us to rely on things like video tutorials to understand how to make a paper plane. Equally, secondary quantitative method provided facts and statistics that we could test and evaluate.
How did these inform your response to your problem?
The methods allowed us look at the problem in a different way. As the main
What methods did you encounter as problematic?
Primary qualitative method was probably the most problematic because their isn't much depth to paper planes. We found that their wasn't really much facts or statistics. Also because a paper plane's audience is mainly children, it became hard to get much feedback on the problem.
As the problem How did you overcome this?
Well as our idea progressed and out target audience became an older and more specific one, it became easier to find more primary qualitative material. Also, we found secondary method much easier therefore mainly used this initially.
What research could you have carried put that would have proved more useful?
