Ms Maura Della Flora Flores - The User Experience in Design Education

IAS Visiting Fellow Ms Maura Della Flora Flores delivers a seminar on their research - Design education is undergoing constant evolution, keeping pace with the rapid availability of technological innovations and contemporary societal changes, which also necessitate new pedagogical approaches. In this sense, undergraduate design courses must be revised to meet these demands. An ongoing research project is investigating how professors and students interact in these new contexts, with preliminary results indicating that the relationship between professor and student goes beyond the simple transmission of knowledge, valuing personal and collaborative experiences. The research suggests that design education should focus on richer and more meaningful learning experiences, preparing future designers for an increasingly dynamic job market.
