Review III. Research (1)

The process and findings of Contexmapping research is recorded in Review III. Research (1),(2),(3),(4). The goal of the research and two research questions focus human interactions in Visual Thinking sessions based on conclusions in Review II. Background. Contextmapping is chosen as the research approach. In the process, seven visual practitioners are interviewed, and two case studies are conducted. The data collected in the phases is coded, categorized, and analyzed with an experimental analysis approach.



In the Contextmapping research method, the participants and researchers can follow the processes, to know what they said (Tell me), to see what they do (To show me), and finally to understand what they can only feel and how to express (To involve me). Therefore, we can collect all necessary information to rebuild the context in an understandable way.


In the research on human interactions, the first research question is “How do visual thinkers interact with the dynamic context?”. And the second is “what is the most critical problem when they interact with the dynamic context?”


All of the collected data were destructed and coded as 246 coded phrases. The following are some examples.


The 246 coded phrases were further analyzed in Review III. Research (2) and Review III. research (3) in order to answer the research questions.
