Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOs Each taught input uses a wide variety of audio-visual resources, group discussion and activity to foster group engagement in a studio environment. Studio based research and design activities will enable you to examine various research methods (LO1) and devise your own strategies for gathering, analysing, interpreting and presenting data (LO2). You will be supported in the planning and undertaking of research tasks followed by critical appraisal and analysis of the outcomes (LOs 3,4), and application of conclusions to the design process (LO5). We will also ask you to undertake regular peer reviews to develop self-reflective and critical skills (LO 1). Teaching and learning methods on this module reflect the variety of topics and approaches to self-selected projects, both in theory and practice. Tutorials, seminars, lectures and practical sessions (e.g. workshops) will explore and develop your capabilities in research and analysis. Supporting documentation and bespoke handouts will facilitate learning.Embedding of employability/ PDP/ scholarship skillsIn industry, major design consultancies will use specialist design research practitioners. Undertaking a large scale self-selected design project develops your critical, practical and analytical capabilities, enhancing your visual, verbal and written presentation skills, and provide a context within which you can locate your individual design work. Assessment (formative and summative)You will undertake two studio based design research projects that will require the submission of creative workbooks (journals/sketchbooks), folios of design research (LOs 2, 3) and representation and conclusion of data (LOs 4, 5) in appropriate formats (printed presentation boards, slide shows, video, artefacts, and written reports). These will lead to an informed and rigorously explored proposal for a design major project (LOs 1, 4, 5)The first project will allow you
