Phases of design: Following idea development and patterns of collaborative discussion in a learning by design project (original) (raw)

Abstract

Learning by design has a long association with learning about complex environmental systems. This investigation traces the development of ideas within a group of five students engaged in a collaborative design process. Tasked with the creation of an online educational resource, about a waterway of local significance, this group was one of three for which audio and video data was collected. Ideas central to the progression of their design were identified and represented visually over time, showing the impact of each group member and the facilitator. Discourse was coded according to the content code of the CPACS scheme, four phases were identified and Markov-transition diagrams of the content were interrogated. This paper makes a contribution to our knowledge of the phases of design evident in a learning by design project, which could have implications for the design and management of such projects in the future.
