Abstract:
What if both design students and design tutors could have real-time insights into how students actually experience their design process rather than after-the-fact reflections? And what if these insights could be applied in ways that would contribute to more in-depth learning experiences? This paper addresses these questions in describing the initial steps in the development of an application that captures a studentâs experience of a design process over time, by means of self-reporting. The application makes use of the method of experience sampling (ESM), which is frequently applied in psychological research to collect experiential data in natural settings and over a long period of time in order to understand peopleâs behaviour. The paper discusses the challenges of implementing ESM into an educational design context and presents possible ideas to overcome these challenges.
