Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
It is postulated that students have prevailing mind-sets which influence the performance of their design learning during their university education. These mind-sets - when identified - can be influenced appropriately to augment students design learning capabilities. In light of this assumption, this paper intends to present insights towards characterizing design learning mind-sets. This will be based on a theoretical framework that involves two main constructs: pedagogy and student's learning approaches. These two constructs are explored through the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST survey) and semi-structured interviews administered to industrial design students. This paper presents the results obtained from one university. Based on examining the ASSIST survey and transcripts of the semi-structured interviews conducted, insights were obtained regarding: 1) the learning approaches that industrial design students deployed; and 2) how learning approaches that industrial design students deployed and pedagogy administered by teachers informs the state of students design learning mind-sets.
