Applying the Boyer model, we are seeking papers and poster presentations that address design education in the following ways:
The Scholarship of:
Papers and presentations that address not only the innovative transmission of knowledge, but ways to argue the expected pedagogical methods.
- How are we preparing students?
- What is reasonable?
- What is responsible?
- How does one structure a curriculum to meet these goals?
- What are new ideas for design education?
The Scholarship of:
Papers and presentations that question how knowledge can be applied to topical social and cultural
issues in a dynamic process that generate and test new theory and knowledge.
This can be thought of as an analysis of the ways in which the practice of design and the study of design intersect, where problem-solving and problem-seeking meet. We are looking for papers and presentations that investigate a process beyond client-driven specifications and goals, for instance:
- How can/do design educators foster long term research?
- How do educators and students link their world with the outside community?
The Scholarship of:
Papers and presentations related to the establishment of interdisciplinary connections and the advancement of knowledge through synthesis.
The Scholarship of:
Papers and presentations that address the pursuit of inquiry and investigation in search of new knowledge.
This would include case studies that address the manifestation of individual experience and experimentation as it relates to innovation in design.
A blind process will be used to jury applications to present papers and posters. To this end, any reference to the author by name or institution within the title or body of the abstract or the paper should be avoided.
