Abstract

This special interest group probes potential problems between HCI researchers and the practitioners who are consumers of research, to explore the extent of the problems and propose possible solutions. It will start with the results of the CHI 2010 workshop on the same topic, articulating factors that may render some of the research literature inaccessible or irrelevant to practitioners. When should HCI researchers be concerned about the relevance of their work to practitioners? How should practitioners communicate their needs for research? Participants will discuss these topics and others that both groups can use to help bridge the gap between research and practice in HCI.

Reprioritizing the relationship between HCI research and practice: bubble-up and trickle-down effects
DIS '14: Proceedings of the 2014 conference on Designing interactive systems

There has been an ongoing conversation about the role and relationship of theory and practice in the HCI community. This paper explores this relationship privileging a practice perspective through a tentative model, which describes a "bubble-up" of ...
Researcher-practitioner interaction
CHI EA '10: CHI '10 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

This workshop explores whether problems exist between HCI researchers and the practitioners who are consumers of research - and, if so, will endeavor to identify the dimensions of the problems and propose possible solutions. On the one hand, the ...
The turn to practice in HCI: towards a research agenda
CHI '14: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

This paper argues that a new paradigm for HCI research, which we label the 'practice' perspective, has been emerging in recent years. This stands in contrast to the prevailing mainstream HCI paradigm, which we term the 'interaction' perspective. The '...
