Researching Design Learning Summary

Researching Design Learning: Issues and Findings from Two Decades of Research and Development by Richard Kimbell

The product of ongoing research projects in design and technology teaching, this book summarizes the lessons learned. The book focuses on the design activity, on learning, teaching and assessment, and, more widely, on what can be learnt about the research process itself. The authors aim to answer questions such as how active, concrete learning enables cognitive and emotional growth? Researching such questions, the authors integrate the conceptual, the practical and the pedagogic.

Researching Design Learning Reviews

From the reviews:

The new Kimbell and Stables book ... deals with technology education only. ... I would like to recommend ... warmly to all researchers in technology education. ... There are three Parts. In Part 1 the underlying philosophical position of the research group is explained. Part 2 consists of project descriptions. Part 3 discusses 'emerging issues and understanding'. ... can be seen as milestones in the (relatively short) history of technology education research. ... excellent contributions to their respective book series. (Marc de Vries, International Journal of Technology and Design Education, Vol. 18, 2008)
