Siloed In Breaking Silos: A Case Study Of Interdisciplinary Curriculum (Mis)Alignment, Jia Ying Chew

Learn X Design Conference Series

Higher Education Institutes globally are rapidly developing inter/ transdisciplinary education initi-atives at varying scales. However, several operational challenges persist in interdisciplinary teach-ing as there are few incentives to share resources or engage in discourses for mutual decon-struction of knowledge frameworks. Nonetheless, collaboration and communication are vital to bridge the varying epistemic frameworks when different disciplines are brought together. Espe-cially because the way individuals understand concepts contain traces of disciplinary- specifici-ties; without clarity through a common platform, the messiness is reflected in the curriculum de-sign, development and delivery of interdisciplinary courses.

A Polydisciplinary Journey: From Coffee To Prototype, Carmen Trudell Oct 2013

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 …
