本研究透過質性訪談,探究工業設計系四年級學生大學期間的學習經驗及其意涵。訪談中,四位工業設計系學生敘說他們為何選讀工業設計系、大學期間的學習過程,以及與老師和同儕之間的學習關係。最後,學生說明在學習過程中省思設計對於他們的意義,以及有關未來自我生涯的展望。 本研究發現工業設計系學生在設計創作的初期,多從錯誤與失敗中學習並嘗試運用不同學科的知識。設計的靈感多來自學生的生活經驗、透過觀察以及同儕間的討論形成學生對於設計創作的想法。經過設計學習後,學生對於設計的想法與態度都有所改變,且能清楚規劃與展望自己未來生涯。根據研究結果,本研究建議設計教育為應關注學習者的經驗學習,培養學習者與他人共構的關係中學習,且促進實踐社群的學習文化,最後加強學習者在設計實作中的學習,使學習者能在每次的經驗中反思並獲得新的意義,有助於學習者加深對於設計的意義再思。
The changing paradigms of design have diversified themes and emphasis in design learning. Through qualitative research for industrial undergraduate students, the study tried to understand how students learned and what learning experiences and reflections they had from the design creation process. The four students describe why they choose to study industrial design, what they are learning in the college, and how about the relationship with classmates and professors. Furthermore, through reviewing the learning process to reflect the meaning of design for them, and thinking about their future. The study reveals that industrial design students learn from trial and error in the early stage and later, try to apply knowledge of different disciplines their design creation. The inspiration of designing comes from their lived experience mostly, as well as observations and discussions with classmates. The practicing process of design learning has changed the way of their thinking and the attitude toward design. The transformation has also made a clearer vision for students to their future career. Accordingly, the study concludes with suggestions that design education has to take care of learners’ learning experiences, create positive learning relationship, and organize the learning culture for a community of practice to strengthen the learning practice of design. This kind of learning can make a learner becoming a designer with reflective and meaningful career.
