Review III. Research (3)

After understanding how Visual Thinkers interact in sessions, we continued to explore the second research question: "What is the most critical problems when Visual Thinkers interact with the dynamic context in sessions?". In the post, the most critical problem is revealed, and the reasons behind it are discussed.



Research question is "What is the most critical problem in sessions?". The answer to this question will be the key to improve the performance of Visual Thinking method in sessions.


The conceptual framework is applied to map the coded phrases.


The results (see the poster above) of the “Problems & Solutions” are clustered based on the conceptual framework. Each cluster is defined with a specific problem based on the coded phrases.


According to the analysis in the research, the most critical problem is defined as "What is my role? & Where is my stage?", which indicates that JAMmers can not always gain a proper stage to interact . The problem always happens early and its influence lasts long.


The problem results in people’s stereotype on the roles of people who can draw. Because of that, session participants sometimes ignore and sometime misunderstand their functions in Visual Thinking sessions as being a problem-solver but not an entertaining cartoonist.
