Design Studies (encompassing design history and theory) has reached a critical point in its development and deployment. Current resources have developed from an art historical approach which, beyond the survey level, have little to do with the design studio or professional experience. The results are students who struggle to engage with the material and faculty lacking an understanding of the studio experience, with the means to bridge that gap.
In addition, we must ask if the methods we employ in teaching design studies – including curricular structure, and pedagogical techniques used inside the classroom including choices in content – are creating a barrier between the course objectives and the students’ ability to take anything away from these classes? Essential to the training of faculty and practice-based students are the much needed critical and creative acts of writing and research into a practice-based pedagogy, teaching students the value of these skills to the process of making. This panels asks to what extent is the sequencing of such courses in curricula effective in promoting knowledge transference to other areas of students’ education, or is coursework siloed? A recent survey revealed that while employers rank “Critical Thinking/Problem Solving” as the number one skill for career readiness (above technical skills), they only found 55% of recent graduates possessed “proficient” critical thinking skills- a deficit that design studies courses could improve (National Association of Colleges and Employers, Nov 2017).
This panel will be a mix of paper presentations, followed by a panel discussion including individuals from different backgrounds (academics, practitioners, curators, archivists, etc.) Our goal is to create a conversation about those issues and the direction of design studies and what can be done in regard to training design historians; the critical engagement of students with the history and theory of their field; and lastly, bridging the gap between history and practice for faculty and students alike.
Suggested topics include:
Research practices
Classroom methodologies
Curriculum (at the scale of 4-year major organization and inside classrooms)
Co-teaching
Theory and practice relationships
Design discipline practices engaging with history
Student engagement – what works?
