Track 03: Alternative Problem Framing In Design Education, Lesley-Ann Noel, Renata Marques Leitao, Hannah Korsmeyer, Sucharita Beniwal, Woodrow W. Winchester Sep 2021

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 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 …

Paris 2011: Researching Design Education, Erik Bohemia

Learn X Design Conference Series

A number of events led to the development of the International Conference for Design Education Researchers. One of these was a declaration by the Dean of the Design School where I worked at the time that academics in the design field should not be pursuing design education research. I felt this was a poorly conceived idea as most design academics are concerned about their student's learning and thus would be motivated to become acquainted with practice-based research to evidence their ‘good’ pedagogical practices. Second, was the realisation that, in the UK, design education research was seen as uncritical and thus …

I Can And I Will: A Study Of ‘Grit’ In A Collaborative Team Learning Studio Pedagogical Culture, Zhengping Liow Sep 2021

I Can And I Will: A Study Of ‘Grit’ In A Collaborative Team Learning Studio Pedagogical Culture, Zhengping Liow

Learn X Design Conference Series

Despite its long history, architecture education remains under-theorised. Design educators’ faith in the ubiquitous Master and Apprentice (M&A) pedagogy is increasingly worrying where knowledge is tacitly transferred in asymmetrical power structured environments through the ‘Hidden Curriculum’. Some students thrived. While some did not. Were some learners grittier than others? Grit (passion and perseverance for long-term goals) was often used as predictors of academic success. The experimental heterarchical Collaborative Team Learning (CTL) studio pedagogical culture departs from the ‘Mystery-as-Mastery’ authoritarian one-on-one (OOO) pedagogy, characterised by the tutor-induced cross-pollinative peer-to-peer formative reviews in normalising daily ‘setbacks’ relating to their individual projects.

A Game Implementation Approach For Design Education, Duhan Ölmez, Fehmi Doğan Sep 2021

A Game Implementation Approach For Design Education, Duhan Ölmez, Fehmi Doğan

Learn X Design Conference Series

This paper proposes a new implementation of video games to be used as an architectural design education tool within design studios. There are studies which include video games in design educa-tion, however, they include video games either as mere representational media, or simplified de-sign environments, or as just visualization tools. Video games’ structures provide a ground for de-signing with constraints to find solutions to ill-defined design problems with a trial-and-error pro-cess. As an addition to traditional master and apprentice model of learning in the studio, video games can reduce the workload of the tutors and allow them to focus on …

Learn X Design Conference Series

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 …
