These development raises the need to find out how is that design and its education will be influenced by technological change and how they can also benefit from it. The aim of this workshop is to collaborate, share and discuss how traditional and new means for ideation, sketching, simulation, and production can form a better design workflow. The participants will be invited to contribute analogue …

Workshop: How To Design To Improve Life: The Compass, A Problem-Solving Tool By The Index Project, Catalina Cortes, Alesandro Mariano

Learn X Design Conference Series

Education at every level, faces new challenges due to the growing globalization, dynamism of markets, the development of technology, and high levels of complexity in various systems. Educators need to prepare students to work and thrive in an unknown future scenario. The current context derived from the Covid-19 pandemic has abruptly modified what we knew as “the education system” globally. If before education was located mainly in the classroom, today the hybrid modality makes educational dynamics more complex and must focus on the development of critical thinking skills to foster autonomy and problem-solving abilities in students. Future workers will need …

Beyond Problem-Solving: Re-Imagining Workshop Materials, Allison Edwards, Hannah Korsmeyer

Learn X Design Conference Series

Design has a rich history of being framed as a problem-solving activity (Simon, 1995). However, this does not fully capture the plurality of diverse practices designers use to engage with complex challenges in creative ways. As we seek to design more joyful and affirming workshops for diverse audiences, we can also re-imagine the roles played by the co-design materials we select or create, beyond functioning as tools for problem-solving. This workshop introduces a framework that leverages the potentially playful and pedagogically rich co-facilitation performed by these materials, and encourages participants to re-image the role materials play in their own participatory …

Exploring Practices Of Critical Design Literacy: A Comparative Study Of Two Lower Secondary School Design Project, Eva Lutnæs

Learn X Design Conference Series

We have destabilized nature by design. The Anthropocene epoch requires a fundamental redirection of the purpose of design and design education. This empirical review explores two design projects—Repair and Ecovillage—at the level of lower secondary education in Norway. The review examines ways in which pupils are challenged to question, rethink and transform unsustainable practices of everyday living. A metho¬dological framework consisting of four narratives is used to identify design skills and discuss the potential empowerment of critical design literacy. In the Repair project, pupils’ question practices of the fashion industry and responsible consumption while they design kits for mending clothes. …

Assessment Of Ideation Effectiveness In Design Thinking: The Impact Of Morphological Analysis In The Process Of Creative Problem Solving, Farzaneh Eftekhari, Mohammad Jahanbakht, Farnoosh Sharbafi

Learn X Design Conference Series

Creative problem solving (CPS) emerged as a critical soft skill for students, yet the evaluation and effectiveness of the CPS methods is not fully understood. This study examined the ideation effectiveness of junior design students. Students are asked to ideate for a complex challenge, a 1000-floor elevator in two phases, with a morphological analysis (MA) method introduced to them as an intervention after the first phase. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the MA method in the students’ ideation process and their creative thinking by using four measures of novelty, quality, quantity, and variety using the quantitative and qualitative methods. …

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 …

Build Your Own Body Mod: Empowerment Through Prototyping And Design, Anaiss Arreola, Katherine R. Ganim

Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities

When you don’t have a hand, what could you have instead? This article introduces the impact of inviting youth with disabilities to learn tools and technology to design their own solutions and advocate for their own future. This approach to programming is rooted in a mindset of designing WITH, not FOR. Not only are design outcomes improved when users are incorporated into the process, but this approach has been shown to improve confidence in creating one’s own solutions. These programs include hands-on “design-your-own-body-mod” workshops, as well as a budding inclusive design consultancy led by youth with disabilities. Through this programming, …
