Dear Nur, One of the problems of research into design activity is researchers focus on what they think is worth seeing when viewing the working of designers. This can be to some extent avoided by seeing people as something different. One example is the use of ethology: seeing people as animals and ignoring they are what we think understand as 'people'. Another example in Activity Theory is to make people the equivalent to other non-human elements in an activity system. If you ignore that designers are people, you can also start to benefit from other research methods that address exactly the same kinds of problem - understanding the basis of behaviour and its relationship to outcomes - in other contexts. An interesting video method that does that is described at : http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/v9/n4/full/nmeth.1924.html The style of approach described in this link looks useful for design research in a variety of contexts and avoids most of the limitations of self-report and talking aloud analyses.
