Understanding complex ecologies: an investigation of student experiences in adventure learning programs

The GoNorth! Adventure Learning (AL) Series delivered educational programs about global climate change and sustainability from 2006 to 2010 via a hybrid-learning environment that included a curriculum designed with activities that worked in conjunction with the travels of Team GoNorth! as they dog sledded throughout the circumpolar Arctic. This study addresses a gap in the AL literature by identifying factors that lead to high levels of student engagement and reveals strategies for instructional designers and educators on how to design emotionally engaging online learning environments. A mixed methods study was conducted to explore patterns of learner engagement in relation to two AL programs: GoNorth! Fennoscandia 2008 and GoNorth! Nunavut 2009. Survey data were drawn from a total of 101 students in 2008 and 2009.     

Theo Jansen project in engineering design course and a design example

Objectives of a project-oriented mechanical engineering course, Engineering Design, were achieved through a design project, where students designed, built and demonstrated an extreme version of a basic Theo Jansen device. Through this project, junior students in the University of Louisiana fully developed the capability of applying mathematic and kinematic knowledge in the analysis and design of mechanisms. Students also developed oral and written communication skills, which would be used in design environments, through the presentation of results in both oral and written forms. An assessment of the design project indicated that effective teaching and learning spread through the semester, with the junior students acting as project managers and experiencing design practices. An example of a student-designed Theo Jansen device is presented in this paper to show the study results achieved by the students.     

模糊综合评判方法在高职艺术设计专业学评教中的应用

高职学生评教数据分析是一项复杂的系统工程,本研究利用了模糊综合评判、及模糊综合评判求逆的等方法对艺术设计类专业学生对教师授课情况的调查中的数据进行综合统计分析,结果表明,模糊数学的分心方法能清晰的反映学生对教师授课情况的评价。     

论消费时代的设计艺术与多元文化

消费时代的设计艺术总体上转向日常生活的审美创构。它凭其物质化、通俗化、图像化的文化质性植入人的日常生活,建构人的日常意识,从而助成社会权利结构的再生产。消费时代促发文化多元,受制于消费话语的设计艺术满足并催生了文化的多面向,而多元的文化诉求亦诱发了设计艺术的多样态。消费时代的设计艺术与多元文化相互建构并嵌入了社会总体性叙事。
