Main Research Question:How can Design Education enable a design thinker to operate in the contemporary world? Main Research Question: How can Design Education enable a design thinker to operate in the contemporary world, and not so much on any particular discipline? The practical application of design. Sub Problems: 1.The human brain. How do we think? How do we learn? What exactly is education? How does information play a role in my knowledge? How do I construct a mental model? How does consilence play a role in learning? 2.Ideas. Where do they come from? Is design a matter of problem solving or is it more than this? 3.How does the environment in which we learn play a role in education? How does mental and physical space play a role in both education and everyday life? In what context do we learn, and in what context does design take place, are these different? 4.Why is creativity so important in learning? How can other aspects of design play a role in the teaching thereof? How can education maintain inspiration? 5.Sustainability. What does this mean on an educational level? 6.Past models of education versus current models. What are these? What processes are involved in the fuzzy front end of design, and why is it just that…the “fuzzy” front end? 7.What exactly is technology and how does it play a role in education? What is intellectual technology? What is the difference? Where does all this fit into education? 8.Synthesis, integration, multi-disciplinary. Why are these key words in design education? The jump between education and the real world? How can the system help students deal with this?
