Reflexive and Reflective Practice in Research Through design (RtD)

Let's look at reflexive practice to begin with. Reflexive practice is a critical ongoing examination, or self examination of how my own beliefs, values, and assumptions influence the research process. It is done to ensure that I am rigorous in my research, to mitigate my own biases. This is important because my research is human-centred. Reflexivity questions how my own design making experiences, my own subjective experiences, influences the data I collect or the questions I ask. Reflexive practice, perhaps aligns itself to the interpretivist research paradigm which my research falls under.
