Hi,
It is great reflection you have there.
If you agree, from my point of view I think Kant
draw 3 type of proposition judgement:
1. Analytic judgment (a priori)
2. Synthetic judgment (a posterpriori)
3. Synthetic a priory
And in the Critique of Pure Reason discuss a lot of
thing to explain synthetic a priory.
For example is to answer the problem in metaphysic.
How about your opinion, do you think it is relevant
?
Thanks.

Hi,
I interested about your example between generator and the electricity.
However I have a slight different opinion about it.
Because what I know is electricity is first known by human before the
first generator built.
Furthermore in order to know more and use the electricity then human
create a generator.
Despite my reason above, maybe you have a better explanation about that
so you choose the generator before electricity.
Thanks.
Theme 1.3
Haky Saja, 20 September 2014 13:02
Hi,
I interested about your statement that "We are
the time".
So based on the kant perspective we are live in the
4 dimension word, which is 3 dimension for space (length, width and height) and
the 4th dimension is time.
Furthermore the 4th dimension is "rather"
special because we can not repeat it.
I have a question regarding this "time"
it self.
Do you think every things in this word have their
own "time" ?
Including methaphysic thing's, for example about
existence of "God" ?
Theme 1.4
Haky Saja, 20 Σεπτεμβρίου 2014 - 2:23 μ.μ.
Hi,
It is great reflection you have there.
In the 2nd last paragraph you said that "The
position of Socrates, then, is that through this kind of sensationalism leads
inevitably to subjectivism (the world exists according to the underlying) and
relativism (everything is determined in relation to a subject)."
What I think is knowledge is something that have
general truth to accepted by the community, but if it only leads to
subjectivity and relativism to certain people then it will be absurd.
When knowledge is proposed, I think everyone who
has experience in this field must gather and discuss about theory and the fact
in this new knowledge.
And it can be acknowledge as knowledge if there is
an agreement, so it will acceppt as a general truth.
This is my opinion, please correct me if I am
wrong.
Thanks.

Hi,
It is great reflection you have there.
In the end you give example about the matrix.
So, how deep or what part of this film resemblance
to Kant theory ?
Do you think a virtual reality like in the Matrix
is a dangerous thing and can trick our mind ?
Thanks.
Theme 2.1
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 23 september 2014 13:50
Hi,
This is interesting reflection. You can connect the
main idea in the first theme and the second theme. I agree with you that
everyone will have different experiences when describing an object. It is can
be caused by difference of previous knowledge we had. Also, I agree with you
that nominalism will lead to preservation of oppressive societal culture,
because if we only focus on the material world and describe as it is, then we
are never going to change. Overall, you wrote a good text with good arguments,
great job.
Theme 2.2
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 23 september 2014 14:50
Hi,
I think your reflection is very clear and easy to
understand, and I get a lot of things from your writing in this reflection. I
like your example in Swedish election, although I am not a Swedish citizen, I
think this political issue is almost the same with my country. The people in
political party most likely to hide their bad reputation while there is an
election process, and in order to win this election sometimes they use varied
media technology to deceive the people so they will support them.
Also, I notify that in this year, people have
addicted to certain technology, for example to social media, movie and many
more. Almost all of this media can be used to give suggestion about certain
paradigm to the user (people), as a result, I think people nowadays are very
susceptible and easier to manipulate. In the end, media can be frightening if
left without a control mechanism because it can change the culture and
sociality with certain perception.
Theme 2.3
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 23 September 2014 14:21
Hi,
I think the same as you regarding the difficulties
of the text we get for this theme. In this theme, to fully understand the text,
we need to think more about contextualized perception, meaning that we can't
see anything without its context and our historical perception of the object.
I am interested in your statement about culture
preserves knowledge and helps its transmission from generation to generation
which is essential for the physical and intellectual existence of human beings.
I think with the background of this culture is making us know the history or
trace back our lineage from the past, but I think by the advance of media
technology this culture can slightly change from time to time.
Theme 2.4
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 23 september 2014 23:55
Hi,
I think the same as you regarding the nominalism.
In the beginning nominalism is the great tools to demystify the world, because
it makes us realize about the real thing as scientifically. Furthermore, in the
16th century, nominalism free people from religious oppression. In the past,
with nominalism people began to create the utopian project, and make an
enormous progress toward new technology. However, along with the time people
began to feel the bad side of nominalism like war and pollution created by
industrial sector. In addition, if we only follow the nominalism then somehow
we will deceive our thinking because we only focus on the material world. In
the end, I agree with you that society needs a conceptual thinking to fill this
gap between the existing and the possible.
Theme 2.5
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 23 september 2014 21:58
Hi,
I agree with you that in this theme we got harder
text than the previous theme. The text made by Walter Benjamin have a lot of
dialectic that show us the differences between 2 things. For example the
different views about unique <-> copy, cult value <-> exhibition
value, artist <-> photographer, etc. But, in this essay, Walter Benjamin
does not give the answer, he believes the reader will get the answer base on
their own experience. Also, to fully understand the essay made by Walter
Benjamin and Adorno and Horkheimer’s then we must know the background condition
when they write this essay. I think with this reason, it is hard to expect the
true meaning behind these essays.
In the end, I agree with you regarding these essays
that with media technology we can manipulate the society base on certain
paradigm.
Thanks
Theme 3.1
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 2 oktober 2014 04:15
Hi,
It is an interesting resume you have there.
I agree with you that theory can be strong or weak
depend on the time the theory was proposed. For the example the theory of
geocentric and heliocentric. In the past (before 16th Century) all people
accepted geocentric as a model of the solar system, but after several decades
the astronomer, Nicolaus Copernicus, gives a new theory about heliocentric as a
model of the solar system.
Overall, I agree with you that the theory is
non-tangible object and sometimes it need to test again in order to check if it
is still relevant to our needs.
Theme 3.2
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 2 oktober 2014 05:04
Hi,
In a simple way, I think theory is a set of
proportional that aim to identify with using scientific method and their
relation. Of course, in the Leif course, he gives us a lot of theory definition
and maybe everyone has their own definition regarding of theory itself.
Furthermore, I think theory is slightly different with the hypothesis. A Theory
is something that already proven and a hypothesis is something that need to be
proven. You need theories to back up a hypothesis, and then this hypothesis
will be tested with several methods to prove your hypothesis. If this
hypothesis is true, then it can be a new theory.
Theme 3.3
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 2 oktober 2014 05:40
Hi,
I agree with you that the theory is an abstract
thing, and everyone can have their own definition of theory. Overall, I agree
with the theory definition presented by Leif’s in the lecture, there is actually
many definition showed there, but in the big picture I get that theory is
something that aim to identify object with using scientific method and their
relation with each other.
I think, a theory is something that already proven
and a hypothesis is something that need to be proven. You need theories to back
up a hypothesis, and then this hypothesis will be tested with several methods
to prove your hypothesis. If this hypothesis is true, then it can be a new
theory.
Theme 3.4
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 2 oktober 2014 06:04
Hi,
I agree that the taxonomy of theory types proposed
by Gregor is connected to each order. For the example, in your reflection, you
said that type 2 is based on type 1 with addition information about the
explanation of the object. However, I think for type 5 is slightly different,
because I think in this type they focus on concrete form about how design
something.
I think theory can be a foundation to form a
hypothesis, and based on this theory you can make an examination to challenge
your hypothesis. But, a theory sometimes can be challenge by another theories.
Because with advance of technology, human can get more new knowledge that can
be used to renew or change the theory.
Theme 3.5
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 2 oktober 2014 07:23
Hi,
It is an interesting reflection.
During the seminar I also realize that many
theories is hidden around us or maybe we are too busy to take notice on that.
On the paper I choose (Laptop multitasking hinders classroom learning for both
users and nearby peers), the writer only mentions 2 theories to support his
hypothesis. However, in the seminar, Leif shows me that there are many theories
that not mention by the writer, for the example, “every student want to get
higher grade”, “noise when using a laptop is loud enough to distract people”, etc.
Furthermore, I agree that to support the
hypothesis, we need a strong theory to support it. If I can correlate with the
paper above, maybe this is the reason why the writer only mentions the main
theory to support his hypothesis. Nice reflection
Theme 4.1
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 11 oktober 2014 06:57
Hi,
Wow, you have a nice resume from the last workshop.
I think I can get a lot of things that I miss on my notes when attending that
workshop. Some of them I knew before the workshop, but only a few I know for
qualitative method, because I believe it will be sought on theme 6, but I still
find this workshop is interesting and very informative when explaining research
method, questionnaire method and the differences between paper and web base
questionnaire. If I can add something, one of the advantages of web
questionnaire is capability to give the result of test immediately after
completing the test. It can attract more respondent to finish the survey.
Because, the respondent can get benefit directly from filling this
questionnaire.
Theme 4.2
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 11 oktober 2014 05:49
Hi,
It is great to read your reflection, I can get a
stuff that I miss on the workshop. For example, in the last part when
conducting survey to the responder. I agree with you that making a
questionnaire must be clear and focus to the problem. It is not good if the
question has an ambivalence or dual meaning, so I think the good question is made
for clearness and simplicity. Furthermore, I think it is easier to create a
questionnaire for quantitative method, because you direct them to choose the
answer. For example, in qualitative question we can give open question like
“What do you think about your teacher?” This is confusing to answer, what do
you expect of this type of question? Is it how he teach? Is it his appearance?
Is it his personality? It is not clear. But in quantitative you can give
several options to “help” the respondent, such as: a. the lecture is great and
easy to understand, b. the lecture either easy or hard to understand, etc. So,
I think it is crucial to formulate a good question to conduct a survey.
Theme 4.3
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 11 oktober 2014 05:26
Hi,
A nice resume of seminar activity you have there. I
like these workshop when he explain the advantages and disadvantages of
quantitative and qualitative method, although I have not expected that he asked
about qualitative, because I though it will discuss in theme 6. I agree with
you that it is difficult to design the good question. However, a bad
questionnaire will get a bad result which hard to analyze. When designing this
questionnaire I think it is best to keep it simple and easy to understand to
the participant, but I think it is easier to say than to do it. :)
Theme 4.4
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 11 oktober 2014 04:05
Hi,
I liked this seminar setup as well, because in this
seminar you must think harder to compete with different group and it is much
better than become a warm body in the class. I like him when explain the
advantages and disadvantages of quantitative and qualitative method, although I
have not expected that he asked about qualitative, because I though it will
discuss in theme 6. I interested in your opinion to use both methods in a
research, and I agree with that, because several papers use mixed methods to
prove their hypothesis. When the use both methods, the conclusion they made
usually have more additional information about senses of the participant , some
of them also describe the opinion of the respondent when they conduct the
interview in the experiment.

Furthermore, I interested in the golden rule how to gain responders that you
said in the last reflection. It is the part about the reminder, I only remember
there are only 2 types of reminder, telephone and e-mail, so what is the last
reminder it is physical mail or else ?
Theme 5.1
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 16 oktober 2014 13:23
Hi,
I think we have same opinion about Sallnäs seminar,
almost half the time she explain about the paper she wrote, but she rarely
mentions the collaboration research and design research that should be the
theme for this week. At the beginning, she actually tries to explain the
question regarding research method, and she implicitly explains about
collaborative research between qualitative and quantitative research, but I
think it is too short.
I interested your opinion in "flaming",
do you think using emoticon or picture can overcome this limitation? Because,
each of emoticon have meaning to express your emotion while writing a text.
Furthermore, almost all chatt application we used have this feature. In
addition, when using this emoticon at least we can show our feeling when type
the messages.
Theme 5.2
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 16 oktober 2014 14:24
Hi,
I agree with you that Haibo's lecture is align with
theme 5. I really like the presentation he conduct in this seminar. I believe
prototyping is one of important process when developing an idea into something
worth in the future. However Haibo's do not explain further more about the limitation
of this prototype when building a research. Of course, if we want to do
business, then the prototype must reflect the real product in the future, so it
must have a complete function on the prototype. However, if we only research on
particular fuction, then I think it is not needed to build a whole system. For
example, in the paper wrote by Haibo Li, it proposes a haptic system to turn
your mobile into the ball to rendering live football. In this paper, he only
show the prototype on haptic system and simulated "match". The study
of the football video analysis is not mentioned in this paper, because it is
another research on a different basis. So, I think prototype can be a part of a
whole system, and it is depending on the hypothesis we create at the beginning
of the research.
Theme 5.3
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 16 oktober 2014 23:55
Hi,
I agree with you that the qualitative study could
be complemented with the quantitative study. I think each of them have their
own strength and weakness, and when we use both methods, hopefully we can make
a more complete result of our research. For example, Eva-lotta's mention that
we can conduct an interview or video recording to gather initial data to get
opinion and activity during an experiment. This data can process further, for
example, we can transcribe the voice into a text. Therefore, we can extract
some of the data and process further with the quantitative study. By using both
methods we can gather information based on subjective (opinion) and objective
(statistic) to enrich the research result.
Theme 5.4
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 16 oktober 2014 15:21
Hi,
I think we have same opinion about Sallnäs seminar,
almost half the time she explains about the paper she wrote. I had interest
this "white spot", I agree that this white spot as area you are not
so sure about. If I correlated with Haibo Li, then I think this white spot also
can be defined as a problem in our point of view, and we need to build a
solution or hypothesis to analyze this problem. However, I am not so sure about
using qualitative method when we are not familiar with this white spot.
Because, I think when conducting an experiment, either we use qualitative or
quantitative, we need to formulate all the questions and the type of answer
when conducting an experiment. So, what your opinion regarding this condition?
Theme 5.5
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 16 oktober 2014 15:57
Hi,
I liked your reflection and your brief resume about
both seminars. I think Sallnä’s lecture is too much focused on her research.
But, at least in the beginning she mentions a few things about collaborative
research. I agree with you in this seminar I get more knowledge about the
importance of kinesthesis, gesture, and body movement in communication.
However, I think the second seminar conducted by
Haibo Li is more general and interesting. Furthermore, I really interested when
he said that most people usually trying to improve their problem definition
instead of focus on the actual solution. And some of us sometimes stuck in this
condition, so in the seminar he gives us advice to try to take a step back and
look again what the real problem is with a different point of view. Overall, he
gives brief explanation how to develop an idea from the importance of defining
a problem and solution, until how to communicate your idea to corporation.
Theme 6.1
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 23 oktober 2014 02:33
Hi,
I am glad you like this theme topic. For me, it is
a new concept to build a theory based on case studies. So, I need more time to
familiarize with this concept.
Do you think is it easier to do case study research
compare to another research method?
Because like Leif's said, the case is already
there, and what you need is to gather the data and build a hypothesis about
what we get from this data. In the end, like other research method, you can get
to prove to produce a theory.
Maybe sometimes I like to try to do this case study
research method, but who knows :)
By the wice nice reflection you have there.
Theme 6.2
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 23 oktober 2014 03:29
Good reflection you have written there!
Previously, I do not have a clear definition of
this case study research, because it looks pretty different with previous
method we learned in last theme.
One of the main difference is, in case study, we
use the inductive method to begin with the research. In this method, we start
from observation and begin to search the patterns that occur in the data,
formulate some hypotheses that we can explore, and finally end up developing
theories.
So, in order to get the initial data, I think the
case itself must be already exist before we conduct the research, it is like
the example Leif's told us in police case.
But, there is 1 thing I cannot get a clear
explanation, can you give more emphasize on the point that "it uses
different method"? It is like qualitative method, quantitative method, or
else.
Theme 6.3
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 23 oktober 2014 03:55
Hi,
It is nice reflection you have there.
Previously, I also have difficulties to understand
the definition of this case study research.
But, during the seminar and small discussion with
my group, I learned something that makes me more understand of these case study
research.
This is some of the important points in these case
studies. The case study uses inductive method to create a theory, so the
researcher using a bottom up approach in order to solve the problem. Also, case
research method using something that already exists in the real word to begin
the research as a case.
Furthermore, from the Eisenhardt article and the
seminar I learned that when conduct case study research, we must limit the
number of cases between 4 to 10. It is possible to have a smaller number of
cases, but it will only create a weak theory which only focus to certain
condition. But if we have a lot of cases, it can provide a huge amount of data
that can be overwhelming the analysis and may make the research not focus to
the initial problem.
Theme 6.4
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 23 oktober 2014 04:27
Hi,
It is nice reflection you have there.
I agree with you that in case study research we
must limit the number of the case we want to observe. Because with this
limitation, it can help us to maintain the amount of data we gather for the
research.
Furthermore, from the Eisenhardt article and the
seminar I learned that when conduct case study research, we must limit the
number of cases between 4 to 10. It is possible to have a smaller number of
cases, but it will only create a weak theory which only focus to certain
condition. But, if we have too many cases, it may look as you said in the
reflection, it can make the analysis result become "unobjective".
But, I am not sure about "kill your
darling" in order for you to be able to continue and produce a successful
research. Is it really necessary to do that :)
Theme 6.5
Muhammad Haky Rufianto, 23 oktober 2014 05:03
Hi,
In the beginning of this theme I also feel not sure
about case study research. Because, I seldom read a paper based on this research,
so I do not have much experience about the research using case study method.
Furthermore, it also need much time to search the paper using this method when
preparing blog for the first theme.
I think there is one more thing that usually use in
case study research. When using case study method, we usually do it using
inductive method to create a theory. So, the researcher using a bottom up
approach in order to solve the problem.
Also, I agree with you that when conducting case
study research, then we need to limit the number of the cases. From the
Eisenhardt article and the seminar I learned that when conduct case study
research, we must limit the number of cases between 4 to 10. It is possible to
have a smaller number of cases, but it will only create a weak theory which
only focus to certain condition. But if we have a lot of cases, it can provide
a huge amount of data that can be overwhelming the analysis and may make the
research not focus to the initial problem.
I think you already grasped what the case study
research is, good job there.

Well written, you have managed to include most
parts that we went through in the lecture and seminar. It would also be
interesting if you reflected or argued more for or against their opinions, they
are not necessarily correct in their views.
Hehe, I like the Matrix reference. I didn't think
of that and he didn't present that comparison in my seminar group. :)
Muhammad Haky Rufianto October 22, 2014 at 1:23 PM
Hi, thanks for your comment.
I believe that the comparison to Matrix Film was
the key to understand the texts.
Furthermore, I think it is easy to understand a
lecture if it is design like a movie.
It was really helpfully.

isaac rondon sosa September 23, 2014 at 9:33 AM
Hi Haky, I really like your reflection on this
topic, and share your viewpoint with respect to these readings, particularly
knowing the cultural, political and social context help me a lot in order to
understand the ideas that the authors wanted to transmit.
Like you said above, I think that social framework
will prevent that we could have plenty liberty as concept of Enlightenment
pretend that we should have. Enlightenment despite releasing the humanity of
fear of the unknown, made us prisoners of a social paradigm fomented by media
technologies.
Muhammad Haky Rufianto October 22, 2014 at 1:44 PM
Hi, thanks for your comment.
Yeah, it is helpful to know the background of the
person when they write a text. So, we can get a whole idea why they create this
essay or text. Some of the background information is like you say above.
And I agree to your statement, although media technology
can bring a positive influence to the humanity, on the other hand it also can
control public opinion if there is no control to the media itself. So, I think
without a proper control, it can be a double edge sword.

Hi! I can tell that you liked Haibo's lecture as
many of us did. What did you like the most with it, and why did you find it
interesting? I found his lecture interesting because some of the things he said
are things I can take with me in my future work. Today, I probably don't put
enough time to define a problem before I try to solve it and I could definitely
see why it is beneficial to communicate my ideas with the "elevator
pitch" for example. So the methods I use when defining a problem and
communicating ideas are things I will put more effort into in the future. Did
you take something with you from Haibo's lecture that you think can become
useful in you future work?
Muhammad Haky Rufianto October 22, 2014 at 1:35 PM
Hi, thanks for your comment.
Yes, I agree with your opinion about why Haibo's
lecture is more lively. Overall, I think both of them is quite good when
delivering their material. However, if Sallnäs more concern about the
collaboration then it would be perfect.
During Haibo Li presentation, I have an insight
about the importance of communicating our research to generate an income.
Because, as a researcher, we usually ignore this thing. Typically, we just want
to solve the problem as efficient as it may, but only a few of us can make it a
product that useful for the community, furthermore to generate additional
income for the researcher
