Track 09: Futures Of Design Education, Yashar Kardar, Lilyana Yazirlıoğlu, Ayşegül Özçelik, Sarper Seydioglu
Learn X Design Conference Series
The aim of this track was to explore possible alternatives in design education. When planning the overall scope of the track, we were interested in understanding how educators try to enable more accessible, inclusive, and adaptable design education models. We were particularly interested in understanding the affordances of time and space in design education and sustainable education models where members, independent of where they are and how they are, have the possibility to access education. The five submissions accepted from 23 authors approach the theme of this track from various perspectives, highlighting different aspects of approaches to other ways and …

Exploring challenges related to co-creation practices when disciplinary world views 'crash' and what the implications of these are for design education.
Track 01: Design Thinking To Improve Creative Problem Solving, Úrsula Bravo, Catalina Cortés, Jeannette Lafors, Andrés Téllez, Natalia Allende
Track 01: Design Thinking To Improve Creative Problem Solving, Úrsula Bravo, Catalina Cortés, Jeannette Lafors, Andrés Téllez, Natalia Allende
Learn X Design Conference Series
As educators increasingly adopt design-based methods outside of design disciplines, we wondered about the impact of incorporating these approaches on students and teachers’ educative experiences. This track includes eleven articles that explore how children, youth, and teachers in schools and universities have taken up design thinking and other design-based models. The track also offers two design-based teaching models presented as workshops. In the following text, we present arguments that justify the incorporation of design in general education –both at the school and university level–, synthesize some empirical evidence from the scientific literature, present the contributions gathered in our track, and …
Track 06: Learning Though Materiality And Making, Juha Hartvik, Mia Porko-Hudd, Ingvild Digranes
Track 06: Learning Though Materiality And Making, Juha Hartvik, Mia Porko-Hudd, Ingvild Digranes
Learn X Design Conference Series
In this track, the interest is directed towards children’s and young people’s opportunity to process materials in order to gain experience, knowledge and learning that can be useful at different stages of life, in study, professional and leisure activities. We welcome research presentations that look at materiality and making in both formal and informal learning environments.
Track 07: Sketching & Drawing Education And Knowledge, Bryan F. Howell, Jan Willem Hoftijzer, Mauricio Novoa Munoz, Mark Sypesteyn, Rik De Reuver
Track 07: Sketching & Drawing Education And Knowledge, Bryan F. Howell, Jan Willem Hoftijzer, Mauricio Novoa Munoz, Mark Sypesteyn, Rik De Reuver
Learn X Design Conference Series
Design sketching and drawing (education and knowledge) are inherently visual and multimodal (cognitive coding) and rapidly evolving in contemporary culture. Today, sketching and drawing research in design education is primed for reinterpretation and new contextualisation. Discussions about analogue and digital sketching, live and online education, traditional and emerging visual domain contexts, generative and explanatory visual knowledge, and emerging technology tools and methods have seeded the ground to reassess our relationships with the role and values of sketching, drawing education, and visual knowledge in general. This track includes three articles and two workshops that explore these emerging trends. The first article …
Track 10: Design Educators As Change Agents, Xiang Xia, Ziyuan Wang, Yang Zhang
Track 10: Design Educators As Change Agents, Xiang Xia, Ziyuan Wang, Yang Zhang
Learn X Design Conference Series
In this track, the collection of the invited 16 submissions exemplifies teaching and learning experiences in design education research including 12 research papers, 2 case studies, and 2 workshop proposals. The submission explored the theme from different cultural perspectives which ranged from the insight of teaching creativity and design thinking, designers in a studio, design knowledge and methods applied in design classes, and the leadership and related course settings. Moreover, these studies employed diverse methods including verification research, case studies, exploratory study, protocol study, and empirical studies.
Track 02: Empowering Critical Design Literacy, Eva Lutnæs
Track 02: Empowering Critical Design Literacy, Eva Lutnæs
Learn X Design Conference Series
In track 02, we invited design researchers and educators to explore, and crack open critical design literacy as a subset of design literacy. At the core of critical design... literacy, we suggested the ability to connect to real-world dilemmas with empathy, reject destructive products of human creativity and focus on problems that are worth solving. The main concern of the track is the exploration of current educational practices, academic discourses and implications of design education empowering for critical design literacy at a specific level of education or across levels (kindergarten to PhD).
Track 03: Alternative Problem Framing In Design Education, Lesley-Ann Noel, Renata Marques Leitao, Hannah Korsmeyer, Sucharita Beniwal, Woodrow W. Winchester
Track 03: Alternative Problem Framing In Design Education, Lesley-Ann Noel, Renata Marques Leitao, Hannah Korsmeyer, Sucharita Beniwal, Woodrow W. Winchester
Learn X Design Conference Series
Problem Framing helps designers define issues they want to focus on and make issues more focused and addressable. In Industrial design and several other design disciplines, designers use ‘pain points’ or points of friction in the user experience to support problem framing and to elucidate areas where they can intervene and improve the experience of the person they are designing for. Many design challenges start with a search for ‘pain points’ that designers can solve. This is a specific and useful type of problem frame. However, this can lead to an excessive focus on (and even fetishization of) the pain …

Track 04: Collaboration In Design Education, Naz A G Z Börekçi, Fatma Korkut, Gülay Hasdoğan
Learn X Design Conference Series
We made the call for this track with the hope of exploring the benefits and challenges of collaboration in design education, through theoretical and methodological frameworks displaying how various stages of the collaboration are managed, communication between partners is maintained and commitment of parties to design education is sustained. Collaboration carried out in design education, brings with it opportunities and challenges for all parties involved, namely, the university, the students and the partners. Partnerships and collaboration in projects is a significant part of design education, feeding the academy with experiences incorporating different approaches, knowledge and tools, and enriching the overall …

Learn X Design Conference Series
As the DRS LEARNXDESIGN General Chair, it is my hope, that in the next decade, the future conference organising committee members will look at back this 10th Anniversary of the International Conference for Design Education Researchers volume of conference proceedings with an affection. The volume reflects the dedicated work of close to 500 individuals who in various ways contributed to production of these proceedings as authors, peer reviewers, planners, volunteers, editors, managers, technicians, or designers. The 10th Anniversary of the International Conference for Design Education Researchers reflects incredible determination of those who came before us who initiated and establish conference …
