Item Design Literacy enabling Critical Innovation Practices(2021) Nielsen, Liv Merete; Lutnæs, Eva; Porko-Hudd, Mia; Bravo, Ursula; Cortés, Catalina; Almendra, Rita Assoreira; Bohemia, ErikItem Design Process Models as Metaphors in Education Context(2021) Bravo, Ursula; Bohemia, ErikWe argue that visual representations of design processes contribute toward social and material practices of design(ing). They are used as didactic devices. We will discuss them using metaphors to illustrate that they are active material devices of which circulation, production and consumption are informed and informing perceived complexities, ambiguities and paradoxes associated with design. We propose a follow-up study to investigate how teachers and designers use and interpret visual design process models. The reason is to identify how these models are informing what design is as we are interested to understand how these models are contributing to the development of Design Literacies.Item Inclusive education driven by design: the case of a graduate seminar course(2021) Bravo, Ursula; Rivera, MaritzaThis case study explores the use of design tools by educators with an aim to answer the question: How can a design-based approach contribute to the development of strategies for inclusive education? Thirty-five educators, who were students from the final year of a master’s degree focusing on inclusive education taught at a Chilean university, participated in the study. The information collected included participant observation and the analysis of the work elaborated by the educators throughout the seminar. Subsequently, we selected the trajectories of three participants, which were analysed by open coding. The results suggest that adopting a design-based focus helped the educators understand pedagogical problems as systems of relationships, frame problems constructively, think visually about possible teaching strategies and develop didactic materials to respond to the special educational needs of their students. These findings are important in the light of inclusive education policies that seek to ensure the regular education system provides learning opportunities for all students, regardless of their physical or intellectual characteristics.
