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 …
The Intellectual Diet In Pastoral Spaces Of Activity In Digital Design Education, Andreas Lanig
The Intellectual Diet In Pastoral Spaces Of Activity In Digital Design Education, Andreas Lanig
Learn X Design Conference Series
During lockdown, students are excluded from the inspiring learning space of the university. Students receive a different "intellectual diet" here than they do in the university. In the studio learning of the traditional face-to-face university, the artistic and cognitive impulses are curated with a design pedagogical concept. This concept contains visual, intellectual and social impulses. This concept did not exist in the previous three semesters - it was left to the respective family and home environment of the students during the lockdown. While this is generally the case for distance learning students, it was exacerbated during the lockdown. Students operate …
It’S The Cultural Difference That Makes The Difference: International Collaboration In Multidiscipline, Transcultural, Design Pedagogy, Clive Hilton, Muxing Gao, Rong Wei
It’S The Cultural Difference That Makes The Difference: International Collaboration In Multidiscipline, Transcultural, Design Pedagogy, Clive Hilton, Muxing Gao, Rong Wei
Learn X Design Conference Series
For three years, the Communication University of Zhejiang (CUZ), China, and Coventry University (CU), UK, have been collaborating in an annual project that sees multidisciplinary, transcultural groups of undergraduate and postgraduate design students engaging in projects that help prepare them for future employment as culturally aware global designers. Its focus is on an enhanced under-standing of the importance of cultural dimensions, research led collaboration, and the need for em-pathetic, coordinated communication. In these accelerated, Collaborative Online International Learn-ing (COIL) projects, the students self-direct their actions to rapidly break down initial inhibitions in becoming effective, creative problem solvers who, by the …

The University of Derby (UoD) and Jiangxi University of Technology (JXUT) run annual, joint pro-jects that provide students with an opportunity to develop cultural awareness and work on par-ticipatory Design Thinking and professional practice projects. These have normally taken place on the Derby campus but in 2020/21 the teaching delivery moved entirely to a virtual realm, due to the Covid-19 restrictions in the UK. This year, participants were tasked to propose products and services to improve student wellbeing in inner-city areas. This case study presents the results of this collaboration. The online Design Thinking project, undertaken by UK and Chinese …

There is a shared understanding that design educations’ conventional approaches need to be challenged, however, most studies only present research on a micro level, that is, discusses innovations on a single course and neglect a holistic and strategic revision of design education including of the meso and macro levels. Therefore, this study adds to the discussion by presenting a critical literature review that reflects on previously con-ducted systematic reviews and focus groups. The outcome of this procedure are ten scenarios that show possibilities for the future of design education mapped on a mac-ro, meso, and micro framework. It was found …
Designerly Well-Being: Implications For Pedagogy That Develops Design Capability, Kay Stables
Designerly Well-Being: Implications For Pedagogy That Develops Design Capability, Kay Stables
Learn X Design Conference Series
The concept of "designerly well-being" identifies the value for individuals and society of the development of design capability inherent in all humans. This concept builds on ideas more generally of capability, well-being and democratic design. The paper explores pedagogic issues, particularly in relation to the development of an individual's understanding of themselves as a designer, how they engage effectively in the processes of designing and how they develop the confidence and confidence to positively exploit their own designerly capability in their personal life, social and community life or professional life. Key to this is the stance of the educator on …

This is a story of design – of designing a viable present in transition from an increasingly obsolete past to a transformative future. More specifically, Karl Aspelund’s seven design process steps (2010) provided the framework for our curriculum redesign at a typical American Land Grant University. The inspiration surfaced from a combination of necessity and vision based on conditions within and around our design unit. Identification of the design problem resulted in key findings, among them that ours is a small design unit in a large university that explicitly favors STEM disciplines. Conceptualization provided a focus on human-centered design culture …

Practically Creative: The Role Of Design Thinking As An Improved Paradigm For 21st Century Art Education, Delane Ingalls Vanada
Learn X Design Conference Series
Art and design education hold a unique role in preparing the kinds of innovative, balanced, synthetic creators and thinkers needed in the 21st century. This paper sheds shed light on how learner-centered art classrooms, that incorporate design thinking as a balanced process, can better develop the overall learning capacity of students. In a mash-up between mixed model research involving the impact of learner-centered pedagogies on visual art students’ balanced intelligence and reviews of literature surrounding the promotion of depth and complexity of knowledge, new conceptual frameworks are offered. Towards a vision of fostering deep, connected, and independent thinkers, the author—as …
