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 Sep 2021

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 Sep 2021

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 …

Utilising Collaborative Online International Learning (Coil) As A Pedagogical Framework For Design Thinking Projects, Adela Glyn-Davies, Clive Hilton

Learn X Design Conference Series

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 …
