Data for change [Theme&Target Audience&Research]

[Why and how I chose the theme]

When we get the list of topic, our PBL group chose "inequality" and did research. While I researched, I found the interesting news that children in the poorest countries have lost four months of schooling since the start of the pandemic. So I examined the relationship between education and inequality and focused on more school closure in education. Because school closure is one of the reasons that cause inequality during Covid19. 


[Target Audience]

While I had decided on my topic, I was in a bit of a bind. Because I did not set the target audience before the second presentation. So I needed to choose a specific target audience. Some people living or studying in high-income and middle-income countries might have no experience when they attend the class. I want to let those people know that many people even cannot afford to attend class via media, including online, tv or radio in low-income countries. Moreover, a learning crisis already existed before COVID-19 hit. So we need to be aware of it because Covid-19 make education crisis more divisive and deepening. 


[Primary Research]


As I have always been, I drew mindmap as primary research to what am I going to research in detail and get a more specific theme.

[Secondary Research]

At first, I did research in the newspaper to see in deep how is this problem serious. After that, I found a lot of data from dependable websites like UN, Unicef, Unesco, Demographic Health Survey (DHS) and the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey. (MICS).

After I found the data, I organised them by myself via Excel to colour the map to see which countries are implementing online/tv/radio learning methods for children. It took a really long time to find the data and arranged them :(






Data of "The population with access to electricity in Sub-Saharan Africa" was also hard to find. I finally found the data on world bank website because I was not able to access MICS at that moment. (I am even not sure they have the same data with this below)

   [ from mid point presentation ]  I asked 4 questions in the midpoint presentation. Which one do you think good/convenient for users to count the number?(on my sketch) - The reward/benefits section will be a good method to get more people using reusable cups - Hi Min! I think the staff one and scanning the qr code is quite convenient. People counting by themselves might mean people cheat and over exaggerate how many times they've used it  Merge 1&2 100% - I'm not sure, I can see the dilemma, merge 1 & 2 would mean people can't exaggerate (would using one qr code that everyone scans in the store better than a sticker, to save paper?), but if people make their own drink then they can't enter the use, so I would say 3 might be the best I guess you could merge 3 and some elements of 2 as having a qr code could remind people to enter their use when they are in the store - I think it's difficult to have users count their uses themselves. It might be best for ho...

Weeks in Review [1]

23RD SEPTEMBER 2019  I learned how drawing can be related to systems. At first, I was quite confused since I have not thought that I can do a drawing about systems without computer and machine. Because the word 'system' I thought was directly related to computer. I learned the exact meaning of system, which is a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network.  We especially drew 'complex system' a lot, meaning one in which the individual elements interact to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. First of all, we drew some straight line but it looked like chaos and disorderly. When we drew something that is constant and orderly, they looked complex system.  After that, the tutor organized 5 teams and instructed teams to make the rule to draw system. Ours were to draw triangles connecting each three points but do not touch the sides of triangle and fill the colour. I learned 'emergence' from this ac...

Weeks in Review [2]

30TH SEPTEMBER 2019 - 7TH OCTOBER 2019 After the first briefing, I got 1:1 tutorial with Oliver on Monday 30th Sep. What I need to was thinking about the first project but I misunderstood because I forgot to read unit guide. I told him honestly I do not know what should I do and he gave some advice about first project. After doing first tutorial with Oliver, I began to read first project contents and references on unit guide. At first I was interested in the system which made by coding rather than analog one. However, there was limit to create what I want. So I changed my mind to make by using drawing the system by hand.           Firstly, I set up the rules using 3 types of shape which were circle, rectangular and triangle. However, I found that the system was quite similar with another system which made by  https://conditionaldesign.org/ . Before modification After modification So I changed again using three colours of lines and do...
