Moraes, Christopher; Blain-Moraes, Stefanie; Morell-Tomassoni, Sierra; Gorbet, Robert B. – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2021
Many design frameworks introduced to novices are not compatible with the behaviours and habits of mind of expert designers. This creates a barrier to effective practice, especially when novice designers tackle ill-defined, wicked problems. The W-model is a pedagogical framework that provides a prescriptive design model for novices, enabling them…

Zhou, Chuyi; Chai, Chunlei; Liao, Jing – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
There is limited information about the design process and outcomes of novice industrial designers when working with different levels of problem abstraction. In this paper, we propose a new way of describing the cognitive processes of problem solving based on problem decomposition strategy studies and network-based cognitive maps. An empirical…

Kiernan, Louise; Ledwith, Ann; Lynch, Ray – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2020
Design education has moved towards a collaborative practice where designers work in teams and with other disciplines to solve unstructured problems. Along with the cognitive skills involved in the execution of the design process, designers also need skills to work in teams, share information, negotiate common ground and reach consensus.…

Buckley, Jeffrey; Seery, Niall; Canty, Donal – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2018
Design activities typically involve and culminate in the creation of models representative of new ideas and conceptions. The format is often dictated by the specific discipline, with ideas in design and technology education regularly being externalised through the use of computer aided design (CAD). This paper focusses on the realisation stage of…

Haupt, Grietjie – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2015
Empirical evidence on the way in which expert designers from different domains cognitively connect their internal processes with external resources is presented in the context of an extended cognition model. The article focuses briefly on the main trends in the extended design cognition theory and in particular on recent trends in information…
