Framing Students’ Reflective Interactions Based On Photos, Marije Ten Brink, Frank M. Nack, Ben A.M. Schouten
Framing Students’ Reflective Interactions Based On Photos, Marije Ten Brink, Frank M. Nack, Ben A.M. Schouten
Learn X Design Conference Series
Critical reflection, addressing students’ attitude, beliefs and values related to pressing topics in the world, plays a crucial role in developing ethical sensitiveness and critical design literacy in design education. Critical reflection is provoked by discussing self-made photos, as is demonstrated in the research method Photovoice. This paper considers Photovoice in design education for its ability to foster learning through self-guided critical reflective interactions with peers based on self-made photos. Research on how to support this is lacking. This paper addresses this gap by studying students engaging in self-guided Photovoice assignments. Results consist of adapted steps for Photovoice in education …
What Have You Learned? An Experimental Approach In Teaching Human Factors In Design To Undergraduate Id Students, Selen Sarıel
What Have You Learned? An Experimental Approach In Teaching Human Factors In Design To Undergraduate Id Students, Selen Sarıel
Learn X Design Conference Series
This case study presents an in-class exercise as a way to learn about the course learning outcomes for a Human Factors in Design course carried out with undergraduate level industrial design students in the 2020-2021 academic year. The paper introduces the course content, comprised of the theoretical knowledge-sharing part, sample assignments and in-class exercises to define the context of the study. Watching the same short movie at the beginning and the end of the learning period, students responded to open-ended questions that encouraged them to think about how their perception had changed towards the content of the movie and to …
Developing A Design-Based Understanding Of Learning In Transitions: A Multiple Case Study, Elif Erdoğan Öztekin, İdil Gaziulusoy
Developing A Design-Based Understanding Of Learning In Transitions: A Multiple Case Study, Elif Erdoğan Öztekin, İdil Gaziulusoy
Nordes Conference Series
In sustainability transitions, experimentation and learning are addressed as key processes that facilitate implementation, diffusion and scaling of transition mindsets and actions. In this paper, we argue that design acts as a means for this actionbased transition learning. Contributing to design for sustainability transitions literature, this paper proposes a design perspective on learning in transitions which enables analysing the multifaceted ways, depths and scales of learning that design mediates. Through a multiple case study on sustainable community settlement initiatives, we examine and discuss the roles of design in facilitating interactive learning, and thus in orienting and accelerating sustainability transitions.
Design Puzzles As A Learning Platform For Morphology Design Research, Pedro Reissig, Cristhian Castro Arenas
Design Puzzles As A Learning Platform For Morphology Design Research, Pedro Reissig, Cristhian Castro Arenas
Learn X Design Conference Series
Design Puzzles open up a new field of visual and manual learning material for research in design morphology. The way Design Puzzles are instrumental as educational tools involves using them as research systems (frame works) in which spatial / visual problems are posed, requiring formulations of hypothesis as strategies for developing solution paths. The concept can be applied to a wide range of products, (physical and digital), for different ages (K-12 through University) and contexts (open ended play and/or guided classroom situations). Problem identification and approach skills as well as creative thinking strategies are brought into play as spatial / …
Design Values, Designing Values And Valuing Designing: Three Scenarios For Values In Design Education, Gabriel Hernández
Design Values, Designing Values And Valuing Designing: Three Scenarios For Values In Design Education, Gabriel Hernández
Learn X Design Conference Series
This paper discusses the importance and role of values in design education. As design scenarios constantly change, so do values pertaining to design. Design education should be ahead of those changes, however the theoretical development of design has not given values the same importance as other issues. This paper presents a theoretical framework to help understand the role of values in current design learning. It provides a general comprehension of how values affect both designing and design outcomes, thus aiming to offer arguments that strengthen the awareness and importance of ethical and moral issues in design education.
Hooked On Peers’ Drawings: Learning Through The Visual Wildfire, Nina Scott Frisch
Hooked On Peers’ Drawings: Learning Through The Visual Wildfire, Nina Scott Frisch
Learn X Design Conference Series
Children’s drawing activity has been theorized as traces of cognitive and biological development, with cultural variations as minor sources of visual and traceable influence. Even though present, less research has been done on documenting the social aspect of drawing; seeing drawing as visual communication between children. This aspect of drawing development, or learning, is visually traceable, but is still often neglected because children´s drawings can be seen in light of a discourse emphasizing the individual solitude and expression of the professional artist. Collection of drawings, observations and interviews took place in one elementary school art room for one academic year …
