Dear %PERS_NAME%,
Have your say on "Innovative practice in design education" - NCVER study
Over the past 2 months, focus groups on "Innovative practice in design education", have been held throughout the country (see project description below). Thank you to all those that attended and have completed the survey
To those who couldn’t attend the focus groups or haven't completed the survey, it isn't too late to contribute to this study.
Please complete the survey to ensure that your views are documented. The survey can be found at http://www.survey.theworklab.com.au/index.php?option=com_surveys&Itemid=68
We urge all Design Educators to complete the survey as soon as possible as researchers Dr Damon Cartledge and Mark Watson will be analysing their findings and providing NCVER with a preliminary report in the next 3 weeks.
Remember if you don't participate your voice won't be heard!
About the Project
Innovative practice in design education
The purpose of the research is:
- to find ways to assist design educators in the VET sector to encourage creativity by developing best-fit assessment practices, consistent with the needs of industry, and as embodied in national training packages;
- to identify innovative and creative approaches within design education with implications for management training.
Research questions
The research questions to be addressed are:
- What are the implications of Competency Based Training and assessment practices for design education and industry practice?
- How can innovation and creativity be best encouraged in VET programs for design education?
- Why are task-based standards-references assessments currently used in all levels of VET Design programs?
- Why is the method of assessment a critical component of design education?
- How is Competency Based Training and assessment currently applied in the preparation of design and management professionals?
- Can we transfer contemporary design protocols (eg new product development) to innovation in leadership and management for industry?
