K-12 Design Education, Creativity, And The Corporate World, Robin Vande Zande
Learn X Design Conference Series
Creativity has been described by a number of researchers as a 21st Century Skill and a way for students to succeed as learners, workers, and citizens. The corporate sector has had tremendous impact on what happens in American education for years and continues to do so. Teachers should understand that it is often beneficial to speak the language of business and cite corporate authors to offer validation for what they teach as being essential for creative skills. An effective way for teachers to teach creativity in the context of business is through design education, a natural integrator of various subject …

At Industrial Design Engineering we aspire to provide contemporary education, both in the content of the program as well as the way in which we teach. We aim to facilitate our students to become responsible entrepreneurs of their own learning experience. At the start of the second year we challenge students to initiate, organise and execute individual, international research abroad for 3 months. Students have to choose a research topic, initiate contact with companies and set-up a project. This ambitious setup at first creates confusion and excitement among the students. However, facilitated by a step-by-step approach, students arrive to inspiring …

Human-Centered Design In Primary Schools: A Method To Develop Empathy With And Knowledge Of The Needs Of Elderly, Fenne Van Doorn, Remke Klapwijk
Learn X Design Conference Series
Human-Centered Design is of growing importance for professional designers and in the past two decades a series of techniques for designers to develop understanding of and empathy with a diversity of users has been developed within this field. In the second half of the 20th century, intended users were involved late in the design process, i.e. during the testing of products or prototypes. More recently, the user is involved in the early phases, when the direction is set. Users have rich local contextual knowledge and can work together with professional designers. Although these techniques are now entering mainstream design education …

What Does It Mean To Be A “Materially Attuned” Practitioner?, Maiko Tsutsumi
Learn X Design Conference Series
This paper reports on research in progress that explores the potential role the materiality of things plays as a tool for the critical understanding of the human relationship with man-made objects. The paper argues that many designers habitually engage with production and consumption of meanings more through the materiality of things than words and symbols. It proposes a hypothesis that materiality is a key to understanding the context, knowledge and information the man-made objects may “embody”. Through the case study of an exhibition, the paper examines the ways in which this embodiment may be facilitated. Referring to Heidegger’s notion of …

A Polydisciplinary Journey: From Coffee To Prototype, Carmen Trudell
Learn X Design Conference Series
Several literatures acknowledge that design education has been shifting from the mere training of young students to be skilled professionals to a more profound understanding of the social context in which the future designs will emerge (Norman, 2010) (Findeli, 2001)(Frascara, 2007). This comes from the increased understanding that in order to craft sustainable and viable products, being material or virtual, students have to refer in the first place to their living environment and feed their creativity with the challenges experienced in real life. For educators this starts firstly an investigation on how to guide their students in the exploration of …

Rotational Geometry As A Teaching Tool: Applying The Work Of Giorgio Scarpa, Pino Trogu
Learn X Design Conference Series
This paper focuses on a teaching unit in drawing for design that uses and applies Giorgio Scarpa’s principles and methods in rotational geometry, as put forth in his book Modelli di Geometria Rotatoria, (Models of rotational geometry, 1978), and tests their validity through the construction of physical models built by the students. These models are derived from the sectioning of regular polyhedra such as the cube. The resulting modules can be re-configured into closed or open “chains” capable of folding back into their original minimal volume. This process has parallels in geometric folding, such as in linkages, origami, and polyhedra …

The Four-Second Window: How The Time Constraint Of Working Memory And Other Psychological Principles Determine The Success Of A Graphic Design, Pino Trogu
Learn X Design Conference Series
This article discusses universal psychological principles derived from cognitive psychology that are useful in creating an effective graphic design. The most important are: the strict constraints of working memory which persists about four seconds, the viewers’ co-construction of perception and meaning based upon their prior relevant background knowledge including their knowledge of culturally constituted design conventions, especially those of genre. If the designer consciously exploits these cognitively and culturally constituted principles the result will be an effective graphic within a specific geographic and temporal context. Better designs are likely to result from familiarity with these principles.

This paper provides a contextual reflection for understanding best practice teaching to first year design students. The outcome (job) focussed approach to higher education has lead to some unanticipated collateral damage for students, and in the case we discuss, has altered the students’ expectations of course delivery with specific implications and challenges for design educators. This tendency in educational delivery systems is further compounded by the distinct characteristics of Generation Y students within a classroom context. It is our belief that foundational design education must focus more on process than outcomes, and through this research with first year design students …
