Genç basketbol oyuncularının istatistiklerini ve hedeflerini takip eden bir mobil uygulamanın geliştirilmesi: Tasarım tabanlı araştırma

The aim of the research was to develop a mobile application that tracks the statistics and goals of young male basketball players. This design-based research consists of three phases: planning, developing, and improving the design. In the planning phase, literature analysis, target users' digital characteristics analysis, norm development analysis, competitor analysis, and stakeholder (software developer and logo designer) interviews were used. In the development phase, the technologies used by the software developer and the initial app design were presented. In the improvement phase, the experience and opinions of the players for the application were analyzed with the qualitative usability test. Furthermore, joint displays and narrative were used as mixed method integrative analysis to combine all the quantitative and qualitative findings of all three phases. Overall, while the findings of the planning phase were used for the development phase; the findings of the planning and development phase were used for the improvement phase of the design. In conclusion, the mobile app named Stats&Goals was found to help players track match performance statistics, compare their performance with their peers, and set performance goals individually. Furthermore, a protocol was recommended for the development of similar applications.
