The field of knowledge brokering in education--aiming to better connect research to practice--is currently emerging. Evidence of a community dissonance between researchers and practitioners in education suggests that models of knowledge brokering that consider the perspectives and priorities of both groups are required. It is also a priority to…

The basic design course mainly focuses on training students in their form development ability, including two parts: graphic figure and three-dimensional form. However, in terms of form development, it is not just to create a certain form arbitrarily, but to convey the creator's intention based on this form. For students who are new to the field of…

This paper re-visits the Media Arts curriculum 10 years after initial discussions within the Australian Media Education community helped to shape the content and contexts for teaching about media in Australian schools. 10 years is a long time in media history, particularly with the rise of social media and digital platforms as major venues for…

This research aims to increase our understanding about the effects of active learning, applying problem-based learning (PBL) methodologies to increase student motivation in various graphic engineering classes. The measurement instruments included a cross-sectional survey (n = 269) carried out during the years 2015 to 2019 through triangulation of…

The continual trend of the declining number of prospective student teachers in technology education necessitated a revisit and investigation of the entrance requirement (for technology teacher education) of having studied technology as a school subject. Subsequently a small scale, longitudinal, quasi-experimental research project was adopted with…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how contingent graphic design faculty in the US describe and interpret knowledge applications and real-world experiences from their accumulated conceptual repertoire in the execution of the classroom environment. Data was collected from 12 one-on-one semi-structured interviews and 16…

The paper presents an experiment with a squiggle game in a design class: a joint drawing activity. The squiggle game, which comes from psychoanalysis, has been adapted to a teaching-learning situation in order to observe how graphic design practices and skills develop through creativity. The hypothesis is that the game impacts the training of…

Online discussion forums are crucial educational tools that facilitate interaction between students and teachers. We created an online discussion forum, with the teacher serving as the moderator. 58 posts and 1,955 comments were collected. We analysed these data through Latent Dirichlet Allocation to determine word cooccurrence and extract key…

Purpose: Graduate unemployment is widely reported not only in Ghana but also across the globe. The purpose of this study is to examine the relevance of the HND Commercial Art Programme, Graphic Design (CAPGD) option, to the graphic art industry and to determine the work readiness of graduates of HND CAPGD at the world of work.…

In collaborative design settings, designers communicate and explicate their ideas visually and verbally in order to reach a shared understanding. The verbal exchanges of group members engaged in a joint design task provide rich data regarding the design activities being undertaken by the group members. In addition, sketching and modelling are…

As college graduates transition to practice in their chosen professions, research findings have indicated that SDLR is foundational to continual learning on the job. The Self-directed Learning Readiness Scale for Nursing Education (SDLRSNE) was the basis of this quantitative correlational study. Graduates from accelerated, blended media arts…

For centuries, the mighty pen dominated classroom pedagogy in academia. In the 1980s, PowerPoint emerged as a significant tool to enhance in-class presentations. For the most part, academic presentations were confined to the four walls of the classroom. In 2019, the Coronavirus pandemic emptied the campuses, causing a pivot in the classroom…

The importance of gameplay extends beyond mere entertainment, playing a crucial role in shaping behavioral intentions (BIs) in various contexts. This research aims to discover how digital gameplay influences students' BIs, mainly in the context of technology adoption in education. The main objective is to investigate the impact of digital gameplay…

The graphic design industry has moved beyond its traditional focus on printed matter to deliver multidimensional communication projects involving diverse audiences and media channels. No longer a skills and service industry, graphic design increasingly informs business strategy and innovation processes, requiring heterogeneous expertise, a…

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is re-defining the way higher education design is taught and learned. The explosive growth of GenAI in design practice demands that design educators ensure students are prepared to enter the design profession with the knowledge and experience of using GenAI. To facilitate GenAI's introduction in a…
