The Design Didactics Research Group is presented as open for the EINA collective, teachers and students, with the purpose of generating a research and collective debate space, allowing the research of the members of the group to have a unit to settle and to nourish from. In this regard the research in the group is not conducted, but rather suggested autonomously and developed according to the specificities of the research at hand.
Objectives
To develop promote and support design teaching research initiatives offering :
- A research framework within EINA.
- Pedagogical support to the centre.
- The creation of didactic scenarios weaving transversalities with internal or external agents of the centre.
Researchers
Pilar Gorriz, Salvador Huertas, Anna Majó, Claudio Molina, Artur Muñoz, Octavi Rofes, Dolors Soriano
The group shares an interest in the research of design’s didactic nature with regard to the agents, attitudes, skills, methodologies and evaluation seeking the link between learning and knowledge.
DIDI conceives knowledge as transversal in pursuit of a generalist and integrative training of each individual which does not conflict with specializations but they are rather in need of each other. In this sense, knowledge becomes an intertwined system of different nodes that form a network expanded in space and time.
DIDI investigates the area of the necessary attitudes for an approach to this expanded network, the location of its contents as well as the methodological processes to structure and transform it into a collaboration of all the agents surrounding it, such as the EINA design and art centre. Such exercise is the outcome of the research of the current state of the academic field as well as the constructive practice of this area, taking the centre as an access territory.
Transversely activating the didactic research processes: faculty, degree, masters and research group students nourish the areas and establish peripheral approaches with different perspectives and distances over the proposed area.
The following lines of research are open:
- Assesment methods: parameterization vs holism
- Agency of project
- The context and the student in the learning environment.
- Fiction in anticipation of reality. Driving force of design.
- El " dibuix" i la seva naturalesa habilitant en els processos de projecte.
- Participation in the meeting of design teachers at Selected Bilbao 2018
- "Slower is More", workshop at the Escola Superior de Design in Barcelos, Portugal
- Participation in the 7th bid teaching and design meeting
- CROSS WORD. Re Dissenyar un seminari
- Participation in the 8th International Conference on Research in Art Education – Researching and Educating in Design
- Participation of professors of EINA at CIDUI 2016 (Internacional Congress on University Teaching and Innovation)
