Integrated design education research
Academic Proposition:
With rapid development of communication technology, many physical boundaries have become blurred. As a result, cultural and product exchange and capital flow can almost arrive at every corner of the world immediately. Space is compressed, and time seems to be extended. Students can easily get access to a great deal of information beyond classroom just by clicking the computer mouse. In this magic generation,we shall not be just an institute that spreads knowledge. Instead, it shall be a huge server and working station to deal with huge and frequent information exchange and sharing so as to become a platform for information communication and accumulation of different aspects. Contemporary design is not the application of scattered knowledge, instead, it’s the integration of interdisciplinary knowledge and designers’ experiences. Therefore, I tried to create a course to help students learn more effectively by making their own study plan, so that they can form own opinions, collect and integrate information and knowledge, cope with the complex problems of the times, and come up with an interdisciplinary answer. As a result, this kind of research should include professional skill training, and more importantly, development of students’ ability to learn and their ability of creatively using knowledge to deal with the great changes of the times. To achieve such educational purposes, methods such as creative group teaching, integration of existent designing courses, introduction of new courses, inclusion of interdisciplinary subjects, and the cooperation with studios should be adopted to create a new teaching system. We should focus on the latest development of science and technology, especially information sharing and environmental changes, and supplement today’s teaching with them. The research attempts to establish a strategy to promote cooperation and the connection among key subjects, which helps the teaching of students of different levels as well so that they can finally realize the philosophy on epistemology.
