The Sight Of The Blind
- Huikuang Guidedog
We used the interviewing technique and information organizing skill from the sociological straightness study, to complete our topic base. Focusing on the core of the topic study, we met and interviewed (or by internet) the people with key connections towards our topic. In the interview, we got our basic information, with the interviewing record, we compared them to information we learned from interviewing and relating subjects, so incorrect information can be deleted, and replaced by accurate evidence which contains detailed facts.
Moreover, in order to learn more about what and where we are in the society, we used the technique questionnaire statistics from the sociological quantitative study. For us, we wanted to increase the familiarity of the community and their relevance through this research, therefore we spreaded the questionnaire in social media such as Gmail, Line, Facebook, and Instagram. Within six weeks, we received approximately 215 questionnaire responses and analyzed them in different perspectives to form an objective mixed research.
However, we lacked a little on the amount of questionnaire responses, creating a certain limit towards the development of our topic studies. We can only use the amount of information we collected so far for organizing. Looking at the benefits, the questionnaire form has its objectiveness helpful for our topic study, providing us the information on how much the society acknowledges our topic study. This also supports us to understand the situations when information organizing is not able to explain, or information not being properly organized in doing qualitative study.
In two different perspectives, we acted as ambassadors and spoke for our community. As an ambassador in person, we interviewed the Huikuang Guide Dog Centre and created questionnaires to make the public learn more about guide dogs. In addition, by interviewing them, the video we have taken will also be public online and on the website to make other people learn more about guide dogs in Taiwan. As an ambassador in the group, we talked to lots of people in our school about the project and influenced how they think about guide dogs in order to make more people become interested and friendly to guide dogs in the society. We included lots of people from the public in different ages that are doing different kinds of jobs to answer the questionnaire.
Throughout the whole process of this project, it has strengthened the relationship between our school and our local community. Since this interview may have made us spread more positive knowledge about guide dogs, people in our community learned new things about guide dogs and stand in on other perspectives to judge how a guide dog may help. Through viewing our website, people can know more about guide dogs, and learn how they can treat them in public. As for students, they may want to learn more about guide dogs through viewing the website. In addition, volunteers may be a good choice and get more information about guide dogs, and also make an opportunity to finish their volunteering hours. As for adults, they may learn more about how important guide dogs are to our society, and become more friendly to guide dogs in order to make the dogs more accessible in our community. As for blinders, we gave them a chance to own a guide dog themselves because guide dogs are recognized as important animals to help our society. Furthermore, more funds may be donated to the Huikuang Guide Dog Foundation while more people through the public are viewing our website. As a result, because enough funds are donated, more blinders have a chance to own a guide dog and be able to live more conveniently and efficiently.
