Abstract

Embracing new and innovative qualitative methods has helped researchers in a number of fields to access aspects of the lived experience that traditional methods cannot easily reach. This paper explores the use and value of one such method – ‘rich pictures’: a technique whose origins lie in ‘soft systems’ engineering but which has been successfully applied in a broader range of contexts in recent years including health, medicine and education. Despite its use in these disciplines, however, recent studies suggest that HRD research continues to rely on established methods and that uptake of visual methods – and ‘rich pictures’ in particular – is virtually non-existent. The aim of this paper therefore is to shed light on this underused method and encourage HRD researchers to recognize its potential for studying human development.

“富图片”方法:其使用和价值，以及对人力资源开发研究和实践的启示

采用新的、创新的定性方法有助于多个领域的研究人员了解传统方法难以触及的生活体验方面。本文探讨了“丰富图片”这一方法的用途和价值：这一技术起源于“软系统”工程，但近年来已成功应用于更广泛的领域，包括卫生、医学和教育。然而，尽管它在这些学科中得到了应用，但最近的研究表明，人力资源开发研究仍然依赖于既定的方法，而视觉方法——尤其是“丰富的图片”——几乎不存在。因此，本文的目的是阐明这种未被充分利用的方法，并鼓励人力资源开发研究人员认识到它在研究人类发展方面的潜力。

期刊介绍： As described elsewhere, Human Resource Development Review is a theory development journal for scholars of human resource development and related disciplines. Human Resource Development Review publishes articles that make theoretical contributions on theory development, foundations of HRD, theory building methods, and integrative reviews of the relevant literature. Papers whose central focus is empirical findings, including empirical method and design are not considered for publication in Human Resource Development Review. This journal encourages submissions that provide new theoretical insights to advance our understanding of human resource development and related disciplines. Such papers may include syntheses of existing bodies of theory, new substantive theories, exploratory conceptual models, taxonomies and typology developed as foundations for theory, treatises in formal theory construction, papers on the history of theory, critique of theory that includes alternative research propositions, metatheory, and integrative literature reviews with strong theoretical implications. Papers addressing foundations of HRD might address philosophies of HRD, historical foundations, definitions of the field, conceptual organization of the field, and ethical foundations. Human Resource Development Review takes a multi-paradigm view of theory building so submissions from different paradigms are encouraged.
