Design Education Research



The importance of Design Education Research for design educators is perfectly described by Erik Bohemia at the last paper of this interesting conference:

"it is imperative in these taxing times that design educators continue research their educational practices and the assumptions underpinning these practices. The reason for this is so that they will be able to respond to the changes described above with informed knowledge. This means that they will be able to (re)design curriculum in order to incorporate "desired" changes and/or to "preserve" elements that are deemed important to produce a relevant design education."
