設計思考與理論

This course provides the students the theoretical framework to explore possible UX research topics among peoples, society, and digital technologies. It provides an overview of theories and approaches to the transdisciplinary concept of design, spanning multiple disciplines and types of design outputs with a focus on technology. Student work will be focused on theoretical and practical outcomes, with two main learning goals: 1) building upon and critiquing theories, methods, and processes of design in their original research; and 2) generating an awareness and representation of their personal design philosophy.

No prerequisite courses are required. Students who are enthusiastic for HCI research or are seriously consider his/her future career development in UX design professionals are especially welcome and are encouraged to consider this course.

This is a research-based class, students will conduct a formal research paper during this semester. By applying related theoretical frameworks from the class readings, students work individually to complete a research report suitable for submission. Upon completion of this course, students should be able to: ■ Identify and articulate vital components of design activity ■ Identify scholars, foundational works, and theories relating to design ■ Critique theoretical foundations of their own discipline using the language and constructs of design theory

The course requirements include (1) Research Prospectus (20%) (2) Mid-term : Research literature review and research problem statement (30%) (3) Design philosophy statement and Diagram (10%) (4) Final term paper: Research Paper Report and Presentation (40%)
