Session Description

Free ticketed event
This workshop engages with the question: how might we help students become better
able to intentionally engage in a design process, as part of an effort to help them
become reflective practitioners of design? [1] On a theoretical level, this work connects
to the diversity of design processes (e.g., [2]) and research on metacognition (e.g.,
[3-6]). This workshop also builds on prior research on helping students to become more
metacognitively aware of their current state in a design process. [7, 8]
In this interactive 2.5-hour workshop, participants will learn how to build self-awareness
for their students and themselves through self-tracked design timelines (that we are
calling Design Signatures [9]), such as those shown in Figure 1. With these design
signatures visible in front of them, students and faculty can better reflect on an
otherwise invisible design process.
The workshop facilitators have extensive experience implementing these concepts in
their design teaching. Students are excited about what they are able to learn, as
demonstrated by the following quotes.
