  • Summary

    The chapter introduces the concept of the validation of knowledge. The latter comprises concepts of conceptualisation, operationalisation, test and generalisation. In addition, validation of knowledge also comprises superordinate criteria for each of the superordinate concepts – as completeness, coherence and fitness for purpose. These concepts and criteria are then applied to HCI knowledge acquired by HCI research. The concept of validation is applied to approaches to HCI research as topic or problem addressed, actions performed, evaluation conducted and successes cumulated. The concept of validation is also applied to frameworks for HCI research as discipline, general as common, general problem, particular scope, general research, general knowledge and general practices. The state of the validation of HCI frameworks assessed and failings identified. Case studies of HCI research are needed to make good these shortcomings of framework validation.
