WEEK 9 // 24.05.2021

We were asked to show the research instruments (either Quali + Quali / Quanti + Quanti / Quali + Quanti) that we have decided on for our primary data research this week.

WEEK 10 // 31.05.2021

We got feedback for our research instrument decision.

ASSIGNMENT 3: Research Implementation 

WEEK 8 // 17.05.2021

Although we don't have a class for this week as it's ILW, we still were advised to go through the recorded lectures, notes and supplementary videos shared of Week 6 & 7 in Teams.

We were expected to decide on and design our primary data collection methods, which is at least 2 instruments (either qualitative or quantitative methods) for our Assignment 3- Research Implementation. In the upcoming week 9 tutorial session, we need to present how we going to conduct our primary research.

WEEK 9 // 24.05.2021

I only kick-started my brainstorm on primary research methods this week. I decided to utilize a mixed-method Questionnaire as my quantitative approach, and Visual Analysis as my qualitative approach.

Since I need to understand the public's perception of my research topic about "Kawaii", a questionnaire would be the choice to obtain quick and large responses. Furthermore, with a Visual Analysis, I could better understand the character chosen and the reason for its popularity.

WEEK 10 // 31.05.2021

PROGRESS
After brainstorming on the questions that are necessary for my primary data collection, I set a questionnaire using Google Form and distributed it through my personal Instagram account:

WEEK 11 // 07.06.2021

After getting sufficient responses (data) from the Questionnaire, I worked on the analysis of the data collected.

Below is the first compilation of my primary data collection (Questionnaire):

Attempt #1:

WEEK 12 // 14.06.2021

Feedback from Dr. Hayati:
-Try to post the survey form in another forum that consists of people from different regions as the region’s data gathered is only limited to Asia countries.

- Can summarize the qualitative responses obtained by filtering out the useless and choosing the one that has a good point.

- There’s an error in the design of the question in section 3, as told before the research topic which is Kawaii-significant character influences the success of animation is too broad.

- Since the questionnaire has already been set and data has been obtained, you can state the drawbacks or constraints on a page of “Reflection”.


PROGRESS
The researcher just realized "Kawaii"-significant character influences the success of animation is different from "Kawaii"-significant character influences the animation preference. However, both the success of animation and animation preference is still considered to be too broad to research. As told by Dr. Hayati, all I can do is have a Reflection to state the glitches. After that, I also redistributed the survey at Reddit and Tapas forum to obtain more responses from other countries, especially western countries as I need various opinions.

FEEDBACK

WEEK 8 // 17.05.2021

No feedback. (ILW)

WEEK 9 // 24.05.2021

General Feedback:

- Look at research questions, and decide on 2 research instruments to be conducted.

- Provide justification.

- Best to have 80-100 participants/ samples for the Questionnaire.

- If choosing “Interview” as a research instrument, we need to have one backup plan or two in case there is no response from the interviewer.

- Consider 5W1H in conducting the research instruments.

- Who to be asked for an Interview or Questionnaire?

- For Quantitative, it will only be a Questionnaire.

WEEK 10 // 31.05.2021

Specific Feedback:
- For the visual analysis, you might think of analyzing one character from 3 animations or three characters from 1 specific animation which is “My Neighbor Totoro”.

- As for the positive effect mentioned in the Hypothesis, you may consider the factors in terms of revenue and emotion, etc.

- Should start doing the quantitative this week, don’t get it started at the last minute.

WEEK 11 // 07.06.2021

No feedback. (Public Holiday)

WEEK 12 // 14.06.2021

Specific Feedback:
- Try to post the survey form in another forum that consists of people from different regions as the region’s data gathered is only limited to Asia countries.

- Can summarize the qualitative responses obtained by filtering out the useless and choosing the one that has a good point.

- There’s an error in the design of the question in section 3, as told before the research topic which is Kawaii-significant character influences the success of animation is too broad.

[The researcher just realized it’s different from influencing the animation preference.]

[However, both the success of animation and animation preference are still considered too broad to research.]

- Since the questionnaire has already been set and data has been obtained, you can state the drawbacks or constraints on a page of “Reflection”.
