An approach to the analysis of design protocols

Abstract
Little research has been done on how designers actually design. Much of design research is concerned with computer-based models or is based on anecdotal evidence of the design process. This paper describes the development and application of a methodology that uses protocol studies of designers engaged in design to investigate the process of designing. A coding scheme is developed and applied to design protocols. The scheme brings structure to the unstructured data of the protocols without detracting from the richness of the data. Results are shown that illustrate the utility of this approach in gaining some insight into how designers design. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
