OZCHI - How Participatory Design Works: Mechanisms and Effects
Proceedings of the 31st Australian Conference on Human-Computer-Interaction, 2019Co-Authors: Nicolai Brodersen Hansen, Christian Dindler, Ole Sejer Iversen, Kim Halskov, Claus Bossen, Ditte Amund Basballe, Ben SchoutenAbstract:We argue that the distinguishing features of Participatory Design are not the Participatory activities as such but the mechanisms used, the effects produced and the way in which these are sustained. We use program theory to illuminate how Participatory Design works and how it may be understood as more than a collection of methods or a matter of configuring user participation. Program theory operates by formulating the causal relations between the planned inputs, the process and the effects in terms of output, outcome and impact. While Participatory Design might appear similar to co-Design or user-centered Design on the level of Design activities, PD differs in terms of the mechanisms employed and how effects and their sustainment are conceived. Looking at Participatory Design through the lens of program theory highlights how particular mechanisms work towards not only the Designed product but also towards generating gains and lasting effects for participants.

PDC (2) - Program theory for Participatory Design
Proceedings of the 15th Participatory Design Conference: Short Papers Situated Actions Workshops and Tutorial - Volume 2, 2018Co-Authors: Claus Bossen, Christian Dindler, Ole Sejer IversenAbstract:How does Participatory Design work and what are the links between investments in terms of time, people and skills, the processes and the resulting effects? This paper explores program theory as a way for Participatory Design (PD) to investigate and evaluate these issues. Program theory comes out of the evaluation field and is a way to make explicit the assumptions of how programs and projects are supposed to produce results by detailing the elements and causal links between them.

PDC (1) - Relational expertise in Participatory Design
Proceedings of the 13th Participatory Design Conference on Research Papers - PDC '14, 2014Co-Authors: Christian Dindler, Ole Sejer IversenAbstract:This paper positions relation expertise as a core competence in Participatory Design. It is an expertise that demands the Participatory Designer to stimulate the emergence of loosely coupled knotworks, and obtain symbiotic agreement between participants disregarding their professional and social status. We illustrate our theoretical argument for a relational expertise with a running example from a Participatory Design process engaging an interprofessional group of participants in a project on future technology enabled learning environments.

Participatory Design for sustainable social change
Design Studies, 2018Co-Authors: Rachel Charlotte Smith, Ole Sejer IversenAbstract:Tendencies in contemporary Participatory Design suggest a move away from engagement of limited stakeholders in preconfigured Design processes and predefined technology outcomes, towards more complex and long-term engagement with heterogeneous communities and larger ecologies of social and technological transformation. Building on core values of Participatory Design, we introduce three dimensions of engagement of scoping, developing and scaling that we argue can be essential in developing a holistic approach to Participatory Design as a sustainable practice of social change. The dimensions foreground central aspects of Participatory Design research that are discussed in relation to a long-term project exploring Design and digital fabrication technologies in Danish primary and secondary education.

PDC (2) - Teaching Participatory Design
Proceedings of the 13th Participatory Design Conference on Short Papers Industry Cases Workshop Descriptions Doctoral Consortium papers and Keynote ab, 2014Co-Authors: Barbara Andrews, Jesper Simonsen, Andrew Clement, Shaowen Bardzell, Vincenzo D'andrea, David Hakken, Giacomo Poderi, Maurizio TeliAbstract:The goal of this full-day workshop is to create a place where people can share experiences, plans, and questions about teaching Participatory Design (PD). We aim to create a context for all of us to talk about how we Design and set up courses, what challenges we face and how we solve them. The workshop is for people who are interested in the way people teach as well as in what is taught and what resources are gathered to aid the process. During the workshop, we will explore in an interactive manner how constructivist approaches to teaching can support the teaching and learning of Participatory Design in academic and non-academic contexts. We will also discuss experiences in using recent material such as the new (2012) PD Handbook. We hope that this dialogue can become a regular part of PDC.

Challenges and Opportunities in Contemporary Participatory Design
Design Issues, 2012Co-Authors: Toni Robertson, Jesper SimonsenAbstract:At the core of Participatory Design is the direct involvement of people in the co-Design of tools, products, environments, businesses, and social institutions. In particular, Participatory Design has developed a diverse collection of principles and practices to encourage and support this direct involvement. Many of the Design tools and techniques generated to further this process have become standard practice for the Design and development of information and communications technologies and increasingly other kinds of products and services. These Design tools and techniques include various kinds of Design workshops in which participants collaboratively envision future practices and products; scenarios, personas and related tools that enable people to represent their own activities to others (rather than having others do this for them); various forms of mock-ups, prototypes and enactment of current and future activities used to coordinate the Design process; and iterative prototyping so that participants can interrogate developing Designs and ground their Design conversations in the desired outcomes of the Design process and the context in which these will be used.1 Participatory Design has also pioneered and developed some of the basic research questions, methods, and agendas that have recently been taken up by Design research in more traditional Design environments (e.g., innovation through participation).2 Increasingly, Participatory Designers have sought to develop processes to enable active stakeholder participation in the Design of the tools, environments, businesses, and social institutions in which these information and communication technologies are embedded. These widened contexts have been reflected in the themes of recent Participatory Design conferences and in the substantive focus of the research presented in them.

PDC - Teaching Participatory Design: a Participatory approach
Proceedings of the 11th Biennial Participatory Design Conference on - PDC '10, 2010Co-Authors: Vincenzo D'andrea, Maurizio TeliAbstract:In this paper we describe our experience in teaching Participatory Design during a period of student activism. The paper begins with an introduction to the general contexts, characterised by widespread university budget cuts and student activism, and our positioning as course instructors. Drawing upon different conceptualisations of participation, from innovation to motivation, we describe and analyse our experience in teaching a course as it was a Participatory Design project, discussing with students not only some side elements but the whole course details and structure. In conclusions, we show under which conditions this approach is able to re-frame the power balance between teachers and students.

Understanding teenagers’ motivation in Participatory Design
International Journal of Child-Computer Interaction, 2013Co-Authors: Ole Sejer Iversen, Christian Dindler, Elin Irene Krogh HansenAbstract:a b s t r a c t Engaging children in the Design of digital technology is one of the core strands in child–computer interaction literature. However, few studies explore how teenagers as a distinct user group are engaged in Participatory Design activities. Based on a case study comprising ten Participatory Design workshops with teenagers (13–15 years old), we identified a range of tools that Designers employed in order to engage the teenagers actively in Participatory Design: rewards, storytelling, identification, collaboration, endorsement, technology, and performance. Although these tools were realized through the use of well-established Participatory Design methods and techniques, a deeper understanding of teenagers’ motivation and motives is essential to understanding how tools and techniques may be made to support teenagers’ motivation. We propose a Cultural–Historical Activity Theory approach to teenagers’ motives and motivation as a framework for understanding how various tools may be employed to engage teenagers in Participatory Design activities.
