以设计为导向的研究实践为构建比特定实例更抽象的知识创造了机会，而不渴望处于广义理论的范围内。我们提出了一种中间设计知识形式，我们将其命名为具有以下属性的强概念：具有生成性并承载核心设计思想，跨越特定的使用情况甚至应用领域；关注交互行为，而不是静态外观；是一个设计元素和工件的一部分，同时也讲述了随着时间的推移的使用实践和行为；最后，驻留在特定实例之上的抽象级别。我们提出两个强有力的概念——社会导航和无缝性——并讨论它们如何满足我们对知识的标准，例如有争议的、可辩护的和实质性的。我们的目标是培养一种中级知识的话语知识构建的学术文化，以及如何在面向设计的人机交互研究中产生和评估它。
Design-oriented research practices create opportunities for constructing knowledge that is more abstracted than particular instances, without aspiring to be at the scope of generalized theories. We propose an intermediate design knowledge form that we name strong concepts that has the following properties: is generative and carries a core design idea, cutting across particular use situations and even application domains; concerned with interactive behavior, not static appearance; is a design element and a part of an artifact and, at the same time, speaks of a use practice and behavior over time; and finally, resides on an abstraction level above particular instances. We present two strong concepts-social navigation and seamfulness-and discuss how they fulfil criteria we might have on knowledge, such as being contestable, defensible, and substantive. Our aim is to foster an academic culture of discursive knowledge construction of intermediate-level knowledge and of how it can be produced and assessed in design-oriented HCI research.
