Probe

探针，设计研究中的一种方法，研究者向参与者提供在一段时间内使用的物品、任务或技术，以收集情境数据或激发灵感（如文化探针、技术探针、情境探针）。

English Definition

"A design research method in which researchers give participants artifacts, tasks, or technologies to use over a period of time in order to gather in-context data or provoke inspiration (e.g., cultural probe, technology probe, in-situ probe)."

用法说明 · 针对中文母语者

源自 Bill Gaver 等人 1999 年提出的 cultural probe。在中文设计研究语境中应理解为'研究方法载体'，而非科学实验中的'探测器'。常见变体：cultural probe、technology probe、in-situ probe。

常见错误

·把 'probe' 直译为'探测器/探针'而忽略其作为研究方法的含义
·把它误当成问卷或访谈的同义词

"The study combined a group workshop, a 10-day in-situ probe, and a follow-up interview to access both the cultural narratives surrounding God-Saeng and the situated practices through which participants enacted and interpreted it."

论文Pipeline extracted — review needed·Method 中把 in-situ probe 列为研究阶段之一

"Central to this approach was a cultural-probe–inspired 'bite-sized mission' activity: participants first identified personally meaningful values during the workshop, then enacted small, selfauthored missions grounded in those values over a 10-day period."
