Abstract

Social innovation leads to more diverse methods for design education, which helps design education response to social trends and needs. Social change has brought about the transformation of teaching objects for design education courses, which can provide the public with more opportunities to recognise and understand design. Through the introduction of the ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation) model in teaching design pattern through social innovation, this paper explores the system design construction of a design education course. Using the teaching practice for the course “Three-dimensional Composition” in the product design major at Tianjin University of Technology as an example and relying on a process of analysing, designing, developing, implementing and evaluating, this paper launches a design plan for design education courses. Students’ learning satisfaction is used to measure the course design, and the latest course works of applied research results in 2020 will be displayed to show students’ self-confidence and satisfaction after class. The research described in this paper attempts to construct the teaching design of design courses based on the ADDIE model. It is intended to analyse the multi-dimensional connection of design education: meeting the expectations of college students seeking to acquire design knowledge and social experience, cultivating students’ interest, and enhancing their design achievement and confidence. Moreover, this paper seeks to shed light on ways to reform design course teaching so that the design education results are more in line with the needs and expectations of the times and society.

Highlights

IntroductionThe “Three-dimensional Composition” course is a compulsory course for design majors at the Tianjin University of Technology, an optional course for other majors, and one of the core courses for those who specialize in product design at Tianjin
We aimed to develop and implement a course design based on the ADDIE model
Before the start of the course, according to the relevant literature and experience summarized in teaching practice, a survey of learning needs was conducted for the members of seven classes in the 2017 product design major

Summary

Introduction

The “Three-dimensional Composition” course is a compulsory course for design majors at the Tianjin University of Technology, an optional course for other majors, and one of the core courses for those who specialize in product design at Tianjin. The course enables students to grasp the material characteristics of blocks, wires, plates and construction, as well as shapes and processing methods. It can cultivate students’ spatial imagination, aesthetics, and creative thinking to lay a foundation for future courses in product design [33]
