A Place We Call Home: Curriculum For Land-Based Education, Adolfo Ruiz
A Place We Call Home: Curriculum For Land-Based Education, Adolfo Ruiz
DRS Biennial Conference Series
This paper describes initial research into the creation of curriculum that combines visual communication design with local Indigenous knowledge in the Tłı̨chǫ Dene region of subarctic Canada. This curriculum is intended for regional youth, and to be accredited by the Faculty of Extension at the University of Alberta. Situated outside dominant models of design education, the following sections illustrate the significant role that embodied knowledge and relationality can play in land-based pedagogy. As part of this discussion, the field of design is situated as an intermediary between an Indigenous community and a Western academic institution. Through a reflexive, narrative form …

In this paper we present our ‘workgroup curriculum’, in which a group of dedicated teachers and students work together to devise better ways of learning and teaching to design. Formed in 2018 at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, we work, in voluntary weekly meetings, on developing a more learner centered curriculum and overall learning experience. Our weekly workshops follow a structured approach, crucial however, is that all members encounter one another on an eye level. Roles, such as facilitating, writing minutes, timekeeping, off-topic, are rotated fairly among all participants. Since then the workgroup has resolved small curricular dilemmas while also …

Choice, as an aspect of existence, may be taken for granted or it may not exist at all. Choice may be complex, simple, false, or not apparent. Choices can be quantitatively and qualitatively different. There are ironies of choice in that profusion of choice can mean confusion of choice. Equally, and perversely, those who have choices can also enjoy the privilege of not choosing – itself a choice. Design is a site of choice-making – not only within the nuances of design processes but also for the role it plays in identity formation, social being, politics, and global interactions. This …

Technology and Design was introduced as a multidisciplinary subject in Norwegian school in the context of the new curriculum in 2006. The topic should be a collaborative effort between the subjects of Science, Arts and Crafts, and Mathematics. In working with Technology and Design students develop a composite competence on product, process and context that we call Technology and Design expertise. There has been, and still remains, challenges associated with practicing the subject Technology and Design. The complex and many-facetted areas of expertise cause teachers within the traditional school subjects to experience the subject as strange, and it's challenging to …

We intended to provide further information and discuss the curricula in design higher education. Finally we present a model that allows higher education institutions to …
