Generative Research in Design Education
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper proposes a model of design research used to structure projects in design education, with relevant connections to design practice. Design projects are phased through exploratory, generative, and evaluative sequences of research and design. Generative methods are particularly unique. Participatory and creative codesign toolkits are distinguished by their potential use as projective techniques, allowing participants to project their thoughts, feelings and desires through ambiguous visual stimuli, and as constructive techniques, providing design elements for users to manipulate in guiding concept development. In addition to established techniques, innovative variations have been inspired by the philosophy of generative research. This paper will utilize examples from a university design program to illustrate a model of design research, with an emphasis on generative methods. The model will be critiqued as a structure for projects in design education and practice, including the challenges and opportunities of teaching research methods in a creative design context.

Introduction: Utilizing traditional educational methods does not meet today’s educational needs; Modern educational systems are enabled with new methods of teaching that enrich the teaching- learning process. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of instruction based generative learning design model on nursing student's Physiology learning. Methods: In this study, the pr...
متن کاملRethinking e-learning design on generative learning principles
As the latest in a long history of educational innovations implemented in the wake of technological advances, e-learning appears to have adopted a widely accepted and largely technocentric instructional design paradigm, that generally lacks an educationally sound, theoretical basis for design. We report on an investigation of the fruitfulness of a new, generative theory and model of learning fo...
متن کاملTowards Research-based Designing for Understanding Fundamental Concepts: the Case of the Web-delivered Generative Virtual Classroom for Teacher Education
The Generative Virtual Classroom attempts sophisticated, large-scale teacher education in technology and science. We show how it emerged from and contributes to a new, powerful theory of learning. Occupying an educational niche, such environments require research-based design, suggesting information-age responses, for diverse learning populations, to educational problems in other disciplines.
متن کاملTeaching Generative Design
Generative design, which integrates multidisciplinary types of expertise in unconventional ways, was reserved just until recently to experienced and highly autodidactic designers. However, growing recognition of the importance of generative design methodologies have resulted in a need to introduce theories and applications of generative design to undergraduate students as part of their design s...
متن کاملDevelopment of Generative Learning Objects Using Feature Diagrams and Generative Techniques
Learning Objects (LOs) play a key role for supporting eLearning. In general, however, the development of LOs remains a vague issue, because there is still no clearly defined and widely adopted LO specification and development methodology. We combined two technological paradigms (feature diagrams (FDs) and generative techniques) into a coherent methodology to enhance reusability and productivity...
