Teaching Practices On More-Than-Human Perspectives In Hci Education – Current State And Future Paths, Eva Eriksson, Elisabet M. Nilsson, Tilde Bekker, Daisy Yoo
Learn X Design Conference Series
In times of climate emergency and artificial intelligence affecting everything in life, we must reconsider the way we teach our students how to become responsible designers of future technologies. In recent years we have seen a rise in interest in more-than-human perspectives in human-computer interaction (HCI), where more-than-human things, species, and designers move the field beyond traditional human-centred approaches. In this paper, we set out to explore how this new approach is taught, what we can learn from it, and what challenges remain. The contribution of this paper is an overview of a selection of more-than-human teaching practices and curriculum …

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 …

Participants of a design studio regardless of the titles and responsibilities apparently influence both teaching and learning processes. Even though it is possible to find several studies focusing on design teachers and design students, scholars have been silent to investigate the teaching activities of research/teaching assistants in a design studio course context. This study is an attempt to understand and frame the perceived pedagogical roles of research assistants in design studio courses. In this sense, we designed a survey addressing in-studio roles and responsibilities, the relations with the instructors, the effects on the student learning process, the factors shaping pedagogical …

I Can And I Will: A Study Of ‘Grit’ In A Collaborative Team Learning Studio Pedagogical Culture, Zhengping Liow
Learn X Design Conference Series
Despite its long history, architecture education remains under-theorised. Design educators’ faith in the ubiquitous Master and Apprentice (M&A) pedagogy is increasingly worrying where knowledge is tacitly transferred in asymmetrical power structured environments through the ‘Hidden Curriculum’. Some students thrived. While some did not. Were some learners grittier than others? Grit (passion and perseverance for long-term goals) was often used as predictors of academic success. The experimental heterarchical Collaborative Team Learning (CTL) studio pedagogical culture departs from the ‘Mystery-as-Mastery’ authoritarian one-on-one (OOO) pedagogy, characterised by the tutor-induced cross-pollinative peer-to-peer formative reviews in normalising daily ‘setbacks’ relating to their individual projects. The …

A Game Implementation Approach For Design Education, Duhan Ölmez, Fehmi Doğan
Learn X Design Conference Series
This paper proposes a new implementation of video games to be used as an architectural design education tool within design studios. There are studies which include video games in design educa-tion, however, they include video games either as mere representational media, or simplified de-sign environments, or as just visualization tools. Video games’ structures provide a ground for de-signing with constraints to find solutions to ill-defined design problems with a trial-and-error pro-cess. As an addition to traditional master and apprentice model of learning in the studio, video games can reduce the workload of the tutors and allow them to focus on …

Immersive Learning From Basic Design For Communication Design: A Theoretical Framework, Yuan Liu, Dina Ricco, Daniela Anna Calabi
Learn X Design Conference Series
In this paper we discuss the two changes that basic design education faced: one is the teaching need of transformation from visual to multisensory and synaesthetic communication; the other is the use of virtual environments to teach design. As an answer to the trend of constructivist learning, also in order to fulfill the need for multisensory training, the discussion of an innovative learning environment for basic design education has become essential. The problems remain, as virtual technology has limitations regarding visualizing abstract concepts. This research aims to build an immersive virtual environment to teach basic design, along with the value …

In 2020-21 Covid-19 rolled over the school landscape as a pressure wave. Elementary schools had to push through ad hoc changes in their physical structure to succumb to the safety regulations issued after the first lockdown in the Spring of 2020. These physical alterations influenced the organizational structure of schools and the wellbeing of protagonists. Through all the negative, also positive sparks were noticed, as some changes were appraised positively, inveterate ideas were abandoned for an open minded view and teachers at home overthought their functioning and searched for meaning in their profession. This relevant momentum can be viewed as …

A New Design Thinking Model Based On Bloom’S Taxonomy, Fan Wu, Yang Cheng Lin, Peng Lu
Learn X Design Conference Series
A superior design thinking model can improve the quality of design education. In recent years, universities and design institutions already proposed many design thinking models around the world. Existing well-known design thinking models focus on cultivating students' creative thinking but ignore the product's inherent characteristics and users' demands. This paper proposes a step-by-step design thinking model based on Bloom's taxonomy, which is divided into lower-level and higher-level considerations. The lower-level consideration includes remembering, understanding, and applying, and the higher-level consideration includes analyzing, evaluating, and creating. The former integrates the function analysis method, form restriction method, and EGM to help students …

Studio education focuses on active learning and assessment that is embedded in students’ exploration of ill-structured problems. Critique is a central component of this experience, providing a means of sensemaking, assessment, and socialization. These critique sessions encompass multiple types of interactions among students and instructors at multiple levels of formality. In most design programs, these practices have been situated in a physical studio environment—until they were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a group of educators and design students, we used this disruption as an opportunity to reimagine means of critique engagement. In this paper, we document the creation, piloting, …

This paper outlines an approach taken to re-establish the status, significance and implementation of the design history component of a practice-based undergraduate design course in China. The format for delivery and assessment were found to have stagnated into a curriculum module widely regarded as of peripheral interest. A project was undertaken to revise not only the scope of teaching material so that it was more appropriate for remote learning, but also the mode of assessment. The traditional lecture format was replaced in part by an online course, augmented by widely available video and texts. In-person teaching was switched to seminar …

This paper discusses a conceptual review of three frameworks for students’ reflection in general design education. The frameworks were selected for their different focus of attention on the students’ engagement with design products and environmental impacts. The review results indicated that the focus of attention had affected the topics of the questions for reflection; the questions of how related to product design, the questions of why related to environmental impacts and question of what related to plural solutions to challenges in both product design and environments. The paper discuss how researcher, teacher and students have different perspectives on whether these …

Understanding young people can be a difficult matter when one is past that age. Stories of misunderstandings stemming from generational divides are ubiquitous. A virus, such as Covid-19, threatens to create a deeper generational divide and possibly lead to the problem reaching a magnitude not seen before. This paper investigates how probes with play triggers can yield a deeper understanding of today’s youth. By analyzing the outcome of 54 youth-created play probes, clustered themes were identified, and the selected ones have been presented in detail. The prelimi-nary conclusions indicate that the play probes allow access to insights about young people …

This exploratory case study aims to shed light on how end users were considered in students’ design discussions and final design products. A 3-month participatory design project for students (ages 14–15) was designed, with the design brief: “co-design and make an e-textile product for the preschoolers according to their wishes and needs”. We analyzed transcribed end-users-related design discussions and the final products of two teams. The findings indicate that students’ end-users-related design discussions concerned various functional, technical, and visual/aesthetic features, as well as aspects beyond functional, such as students’ memories and experiences. Additionally, many concrete and abstract features and solutions …
