'Wait, Wait, Dan, Your Turn': Assessment In The Design Review, Arlene Oak, Peter Lloyd
Design Thinking Research Symposium
This paper explores assessment in graduate-level industrial design education. In particular, it considers how the assessment of students' design work is delivered and who delivers it. Through using aspects of conversation analysis to look in close-up detail at a number of short segments of tutor-student interaction, we consider how a tutor performs assessment himself and also coaches other students to assess, in ways that may significantly contribute to students' understanding of what assessment is and how it is to occur. Creating opportunities for students and instructors to reflect upon evaluation, and how it is performed, may better equip participants in …
Rock Paper Scissors: Reflective Practices For Design Process In The Landscape Architecture Novice, Jennifer Seevinck, Thomas Lenigas
Rock Paper Scissors: Reflective Practices For Design Process In The Landscape Architecture Novice, Jennifer Seevinck, Thomas Lenigas
Learn X Design Conference Series
We describe a pedagogical approach that addresses challenges in design education for novices. These include an inability to frame new problems and limitedto- no design capability or domain knowledge. Such challenges can reduce student engagement with design practice, cause derivative design solutions as well as the inappropriate simplification of design assignments and assessment criteria by educators. We argue that a curriculum that develops the student’s design process will enable them to deal with the uncertain and dynamic situations that characterise design. We describe how this may be achieved and explain our pedagogical approach in terms of methods from Reflective Practice …
Art As A Way Of Learning: An Aesthetic Environment Assessment Tool, Patricia Anna Pinciotti, Emily Verba
Art As A Way Of Learning: An Aesthetic Environment Assessment Tool, Patricia Anna Pinciotti, Emily Verba
Learn X Design Conference Series
This paper introduces a model and tool for creating and assessing aesthetic aspects of early learning environments based on five aesthetic operations: repetition, formalization, dynamic variation, exaggeration and surprise. It discusses the impact of aesthetic decision-making on learning, the brain, and child development. Traditionally, childhood environments have focused primarily on the organization of furnishings, displays, and space, or accessibility for children with disabilities. However, there is a renewed interest in the aesthetics of environments for young learners inspired by an arts integration model and Reggio Emilia. Early childhood education is steeped in child development, health and safety, curricular best practices, …
Creativity In The Subject Art And Crafts: The Weak Link Between Learning And Assessment, Eva Lutnæs
Creativity In The Subject Art And Crafts: The Weak Link Between Learning And Assessment, Eva Lutnæs
Learn X Design Conference Series
This paper explores the assessment of creativity in the Norwegian school subject Art and Crafts. Creativity, or its sibling, originality is frequently used as an assessment criterion in assignments given to pupils at the level of lower secondary education. Written assessment criteria contribute to the public face of the subject, revealing core values to pupils, parents, headmasters and politicians. I have studied the assessment repertoire of teachers when negotiating final grades and legitimising their assessment practice in interviews.The teachers struggle to find words to describe what makes pupils’ design creative or original. Creativity seems to be something that just happens …
Mind The Gap: An Evaluation Of Joint Development Practice Between Fe And He Tutors Within Art And Design, Samantha Broadhead, Sue Garland
Mind The Gap: An Evaluation Of Joint Development Practice Between Fe And He Tutors Within Art And Design, Samantha Broadhead, Sue Garland
Learn X Design Conference Series
An English art and design college was the setting for this project which aimed to improve the transition of Access students into design Higher Education (HE). The Access course is made up of non-traditional, mature students who may have no previous formal qualifications. They come from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities and nationalities; often overcoming barriers to education in order to fulfil their ambitions to study on a design degree. Previous research had discovered that Access students were susceptible to dropping out during the first year of their degrees. In order to improve the critical thinking and resilience of Access students staff …

Constitutive And Regulating Modes Of Learning In Creative Design Education, Elena Bartomeu Magaña, Octavi Rofes Baron
Learn X Design Conference Series
The main aim of this research to analyse the learning process in order to recognize the characteristics currently associated with creating and/or creative students profiles. This paper focuses not much on the psychology of individuals as on the learning process as an intersubjective network of social relations. The theoretical framework considers holistic judgement and arithmetic assessment as evaluation modes and the relevance of fiction within the learning process. With these referents we have developed a polarized parametric system as a framework for mapping learning practices and teaching strategies. On one side we consider the actions related to the constitution of …
