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
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 …

The Practice Of Arguing And The Arguments: Examples From Mathematics, Begoῆa Carrascal
OSSA Conference Archive
In argumentation studies, almost all theoretical proposals are applied, in general, to the analysis and evaluation of written argumentative texts. I will consider mathematics to illustrate some differences between argumentative practice and the products of it, to emphasize the need to address the different types of argumentative discourse and argumentative situation. Argumentative practice should be encouraged when teaching technical subjects to convey a better understanding and to improve thought and creativity.
