The impact of risk-taking and creativity stimuli in education towards innovation: A systematic review and research agenda

Academic research on educational stimuli of risk-taking and creativity to foster innovation can contribute to overcome the challenges faced by organizations in the marketplace. To explore the contributions provided in this field, this study developed a bibliometric and systematic review on academic production in the domain of creativity, risk-taking and innovation through an educational perspective. The bibliographical databases adopted were Web of Science and Scopus and outcomes were analysed using the Bibliometrix tool in R software. Research findings point to three main clusters of academic production: (i) Tools and techniques to boost creativity; (ii) Educational interventions towards innovativeness; and (iii) Antecedents of entrepreneurial activity. This study pictures entrepreneurial education as a field that is still in its infancy and, thus, provide opportunities for research and education policies and programs design. It was revealed that there are two relevant fields that can be envisaged as motor themes for policies and programs design: (i) “social innovation, design education, and design thinking” and (ii) “education, design, and design process”. Both fields point to the dominance of multidisciplinary approaches and design as a central vehicle to creativity, risk-taking, and innovation diffusion.

TECHNOLOGY DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION TO PROMOTE EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND DIVERSITY

Abstract The design of technology and technology-based solutions for the challenges many older adults face must consider principles of equity, inclusion, and diversity, or there is a risk of exacerbating digital divides in our society. This session focuses on the design, evaluation, and implementation of technologies to support older adults considering the diversity of the older adult population with respect to factors such as race and ethnicity, income level, health conditions, and cognitive status. M. Harris will discuss the facilitators and barriers identified by Black older adults related to the use of wearable devices for health monitoring. J. Chung will present on the development of a smart speaker application to support wellness among low-income senior housing residents. C. Berridge and E. Sanders will discuss designing technology solutions related to diversity with respect to cognitive status, with Berridge discussing preferences of older adults with mild Alzheimer’s disease for a technology-delivered planning tool, and Sanders presenting technology-based solutions to support the prospective memory of older adults with diverse cognitive impairments. Finally, Schiaffino will present a study examining the acceptability of community-based telehealth programs among vulnerable older adults as a function off health, language, and ethnicity. General themes of inclusive design to ensure that all older adults can benefit from existing and emerging technology-based solutions will be highlighted.

Sustainable Schoolyards as Learning Landscapes

Learning for sustainability encourages informal learning, embeds daily usages and observations into the learning process, and has the potential to cultivate ecological-based habits for a sustainable future. We cannot separate the learning process and everyday life from each other. Therefore, the present research focuses on sustainable learning programs and designs in schoolyards within the framework of “learning landscapes,” which is an emerging topic that requires interdisciplinary approaches. This article aims to combine curriculum design, spatial design, informal learning, and ecological design themes and explain the practice-based processes in “Design Your Schoolyard” workshops. This participatory and hands-on project involves multiple stakeholders and unfolds this multilayered structure within its process. Nature-child connections are insufficient in most cities, and the cultivation of sustainable practices only happens with nature and the practicing of sustainable behaviors in daily life. Therefore, school gardens are emerging with a new approach that interprets these areas as learning landscapes, not just as spatial designs but as an approach that creates connections with the curriculum and ecology to help children learn about sustainability and builds bonds between nature and children in daily life. This study aims to launch a new discussion about schoolyard designs that support children in learning about sustainability and to highlight the principles of these learning landscapes. Secondly, the research offers various suggestions about handling these sites, the importance of the design of multi-stakeholder processes, and the inclusion of various disciplines into the process from a participatory and experiential project experience.

Interior Design of Public and Accommodation Spaces for A 5000 GT Ferry Ro-Ro

Currently in Indonesia, the need for maximum service in terms of passenger transportation on ships needs to be increased in order to compete with other modes of transportation such as airplanes and trains. The lack of customer satisfaction is caused by several factors such as the condition of the facilities and the comfort of the passengers on the trip. The quality of the facilities and services of the passenger ship can be improved by redesigning the interior of the public facilities and accommodation space for the passengers of the ship. The interior design is carried out to increase public interest in using the services of the ferry. Based on the results of a survey of ship passengers' opinions, it is known that passenger comfort can be improved, especially on the factors of cleanliness, room arrangement, air circulation, rejuvenation of the room as well as interior visuals that are made more attractive. The result of conceptualizing and designing the interior of the ship is that it is necessary to have an interior design that is popular with the public, has its own characteristics, attracts public attention, and is simple and not shabby design. The design concept that fits the needs above is the Avant basic concept because this design theme is a translation of current design trends and presents its own characteristics for the ship. Interior rearrangements and furniture adjustments were made according to the activities on the ship and adjusted to the passenger comfort factor according to marine standards while taking into account the statutory regulations.

Collision course: Bagnara crumbling without care?

Bagnara - Castelvolturno - Photo by Mario Ferrara «Collision is the crash, the impact between two bodies in motion» (Treccani, “Collisione”). In the landscape, movement characterises both the evolution of built parts and the mutability of natural parts, and new balances or new imbalances are defined starting from the possibility of recognising stable or unstable lasting arrangements. The intermediate areas between city and nature are the place of contact between the different modes and speeds of transformation of the natural and artificial components of the landscape. The contact between these components can be defined as an encounter or a collision, depending on the greater or lesser level of acceptance or rejection that is produced by the intersection. The collision is therefore identified as an extreme figure for interpreting the relationship between different phenomena that is difficult to translate, with the same power, into a design theme. «In the passage from analysis to design, it seems that the term collision tends to lose its precision to some extent. Its descriptive power rarely goes beyond the level of metaphorical evocation to become an operational design tool» (Corbellini 2015, p.69). In Bagnara - Castelvolturno, indiscriminate construction has come into collision with the uncontrolled power of the sea. In this coastal landscape of southern Italy between the Volturno river to the south and the Agnene canal to the north, the unstable balance between land and water has created a narrow sandy strip dotted with houses' ruins and inhabited by bathers. The lack of breakwaters leaves the sea currents free to erode the beaches; the presence of houses built illegally on state-owned land put the inner linear city beyond the boundaries of stability. The current landscape of Bagnara consists on the one hand of a sandy shore, with unique characteristics on the Campania coast, which acts as an unstable base for crumbling ruins, and on the other, the water swallows up shreds of buildings that become artificial rocks. The sinuous curves of the sandy and watery nature of Bagnara are juxtaposed with the rigid folds of buildings broken by the slow catastrophe. A social and aesthetic practice, photography, understood with Olivier Lugon as a documentary art, explores this landscape, becoming tangible evidence of a reality in oblivion that presents a multifaceted and complex pathological dimension. Illuminating, revealing and disseminating the state of health of Bagnara is the only cure currently in place for this landscape. The photos, like a “caress on the world” of this unstable strip of land, provide a therapeutic practice and a poetic vision of the crumbling reality of Bagnara.

Early Education Application Software Based on Artificial Intelligence VR Technology.

In order to solve the problems of restricted classroom and lack of repeated training in good curriculum, the design and development of a school life adaptation curriculum based on VR is proposed. This study identified six life adaptation themes for design and development (recognizing facial expressions, crossing the road, how to get lost, shopping, taking public transport, and job interview) and set the objectives, design principles, specific content, teaching evaluation, and other aspects of virtual reality life adaptation course. Combined with the characteristics of virtual reality, the implementation suggestions and matters needing attention are put forward. The results showed that, in the recognition of human facial expressions, 51 experts thought it was appropriate, 3 experts thought it needed to be modified, and no expert thought it was inappropriate. On the topic of crossing the road, 46 experts thought it was appropriate, eight thought it needed to be modified, and no expert thought it was inappropriate. On the theme of taking public transportation, 48 experts thought it was appropriate, 6 experts thought it needed to be modified, and no expert thought it was inappropriate. For the three major topics of how to get lost, shopping, and job interview, 2-3 experts put forward different opinions and think that the topic is not appropriate mainly because the grade arrangement is not appropriate. Conclusion. The VR-based curriculum for school life adaptation has been reviewed by experts and revised by researchers. It is scientific, interesting, and operable, solves the teaching problems of life adaptation teachers, and provides a safe, reliable, and effective practice channel for students.

Research Methods Used in Evidence-Based Design: An Analysis of Five Years of Research Articles From the HERD Journal.

This study aims to analyze research methodologies from 157 research articles published in this journal in the last five years (2016-2020). Health environments research is comprised of research covering many topics and from various disciplines worldwide. No systematic study exists to uncover themes in evidence-based design (EBD) research concerning the types of research published, people engaged in research, and the research methods employed. Understanding the nature of health environment research performed can help researchers, practitioners, and students situate their work within an EBD research structure. Case study research was used to analyze 157 articles published in the Health Environments Research & Design Journal devoted to EBD and research. Secondary data were extracted to capture research methods from health environments studies and then analyzed to identify themes. The design and outcome categories were structured around and the Center for Health Design's (CHD) Knowledge Repository with origins to Ulrich et al.'s Evidence-Based Design Framework. Findings are reported on categories commonly found in empirical research articles: (i) key words, (ii) disciplines from authors, (iii) settings studied, (iv) populations studied or sampled, (v) research approach and study design, (vi) research strategies, (vii) data collection methods, (viii) data analysis procedures, (ix) design categories and variables, and (x) outcome categories and variables. The analyses highlighted the research methods most frequently used in health environments research. Findings revealed several inconsistencies across articles on key words and the framing of research methodologies. Results suggest that there should be a consistent and overarching research taxonomy with a set of acceptable terms for effective literature searches.

Building Relationships Through Learning Design as Signature Pedagogy: Re-connecting Mature-aged Online Students with Educators

The Commencing Student Success Program (CSSP) comprises 13 evidence-based strategies for online engagement underpinned by the Universal Design for Learning principles of inclusive access to improve learner retention and engagement (Sasson et al., 2021), promoting first year student engagement and retention at the tertiary level. The program’s impact has led to it being adopted across the University’s School of Education as its signature pedagogy. The University’s unique regional context provides education to a high number of students studying by distance; often rural, mature-age, or first-in-family. Applying these strategic elements into online course design ensure a sense of support and connection is embedded, and reducing sense of isolation, throughout their studies.This presentation explores three of the core design themes underpinning the project’s ‘Basic Elements’ that support and enhance meaningful student-educator connections: 1. Social presence: For students, especially those studying purely online, feeling a sense of belonging and connection within the learning environment is imperative for positive learning experience and development of relationship-rich education philosophies (Felten & Lambert, 2020). High quality use of asynchronous Moodle videos produced by the Unit Coordinator welcome students; and walk-through assessment screencasts provide deeper explanation of task expectations, in addition to synchronous engagement via Zoom, assists student educator connections. Teacher presence, through ‘putting a face to the name’, builds positive relationships and presents Unit Coordinators in a human light (Stone & Springer, 2019). 2. Student voice: In addition to multimodal materials, student presence with others also plays an important role in building their engagement in online spaces (Reilly et al., 2012). Opportunities for learners to provide real-time feedback on each assessment task allows them to have an impact on unit design during their own studies. Utilising feedback functionality directly within the LMS embeds this feedback capture in situ, not as a separate, disconnected process. Academic staff can adjust and tailor content to meet the needs of current students. This in-unit opportunity promoting student voice, also provides ongoing de-identified student testimonials about their experiences with the task, which can highlight their value in a way that is authentic and formative for other learners. 3. Cognitive load: Meaningful and consistent design enabled clear navigational paths and sources of information. This allows students to prioritise focus on deep engagement with learning tasks, rather than problem-solving navigation of the online environment. This is critical for all students, especially those who are time-poor, mature-aged, and managing multiple responsibilities beyond study (Hoi & Le Hang, 2021). Students can access a ‘Flexible Portal’ to self-manage their assessment due dates by choosing a one-to-three-week automatic extension that suits their circumstances, providing them with agency in their learning by reducing pressure in typically heavily loaded trimester schedules. Freeing up both staff and student time on lower-order requests, allows space for richer interaction. Since the CSSP’s 2019 conception, the project team has been able to ideate and iterate the nature of the Basic Elements and their underpinning learning strategies via feedback from academic staff and students across the more than 65 teaching units the CSSP has been applied to so far. A central focus on reconnecting relationships through technology guides this process and is transferable in part or full to other institutions.

Learning Design versus Instructional Design: A Bibliometric Study through Data Visualization Approaches

The terms instructional design and learning design have been widely used to describe a discipline concerned with improving the process of teaching and learning. However, though both terms are interchangeably used and share a common vision, both terms are used to encompass different aspects of the learning and teaching. In order to better understand the evolution, map intersections and differences of these terms, and identify emerging themes, using text mining and social network analysis approaches, a triangulated bibliometric study was carried out to analyze a total of 514 publications (326 for instructional design and 157 for learning design) indexed in the Scopus database using text mining and social network analysis. Our first round of analysis revealed four broad themes for instructional design: Theory-driven approaches; technology-informed designs; instructional design for higher education; and assessment and evaluation. A second round of analysis for learning design identified four major themes: Design thinking and user experience-driven approaches; online learning informed designs and online environments; analytical approaches for assessment and evaluation; and engagement-based learning design. The study concludes that while instructional design is about developing, assessing, and evaluating instruction, learning design is more about learner engagement and experience, which can be assessed and enhanced by analytical and technological approaches.

Exploring the Player Experiences of Wearable Gaming Interfaces: A User Elicitation Study

The design and development of playful wearable devices is a challenging and complicated problem. It entails not only multidisciplinary expertise but also a comprehensive understanding of player experience. There is a scarcity of evidence-based studies in current state-of-art literature that investigate general design practices and provide pragmatic design implications and suggestions based on solid user-centered research. To bridge the gap, we developed five experience prototypes based on the speculative design concepts from previous studies, and a Wizard of Oz experiment was conducted to elicit end users' feedback regarding general gaming experience as well as specific design themes in different gaming scenarios. The user experiment results were analyzed qualitatively following a rigorous thematic analysis, generating five major design implications as output. We believe this study will offer forward-looking insights to designers, developers and the research community, facilitating future work in this field.

Designing a building for music and dance performing arts in Bogor

This research aimed to design a building for music and dance performing arts in Bogor, West Java. In order to support the local government's work program, the building is designed so that art performers can create and express the results of these works and can be enjoyed by modern and contemporary art connoisseurs. Through such a building, West Java cultural arts can be preserved and inherited. The method used in the design refers to descriptive qualitative methods and uses literature studies and precedents, surveys and field observations. This is done in order to obtain complete data, then analyze every problem that exists. The resulting design concept is a building design with a cultural and modern atmosphere that is realized through a design theme, namely Semiotic and Taste Cultures with the intention of using a characteristic style that prioritizes simplicity of form, uses ornaments and follows the shape of the building's function.

Characterizing the research-practice gap in children’s interactive storytelling systems

Storytelling support has been and continues to be a recurring theme in child–computer interaction research, especially as it pertains to education. This work has spilled over into practice, and, in the last few decades, a large number of storytelling systems for children have been developed—both as research prototypes and commercial applications. However, through a systematic analysis of 75 research-based storytelling systems and 39 commercial systems, we find that there remains a problematic gap between research and practice with respect to products in interactive storytelling and child–computer interaction, echoing the well-documented research-practice gap in the general HCI field. We characterize the nature of this gap, highlighting design themes promoted by research-based systems that are not as prevalent in commercial systems, such as tangibility and narrative scaffolds, and vice-versa. Understanding the main areas of discrepancy between research and practice can help focus efforts to close the research-practice gap in storytelling systems for children.

Practice and reflection of participatory design in tableware design for the elderly.

In the past, the designers used to dominate and conduct user-centered design and research. The findings of such surveys might not reflect the user needs and produce the best design solutions. This project aimed to use PD to introduce the design curriculum to break through the previous user-centered design thinking, as the designer and the user design together, with the user given the right to lead the entire design process. The theme of this research design is tableware;55 students and 11 elderly (over the age of 65) were invited to participate in this study. Questionnaires divided into the beginning, middle and final stages tested the teaching effectiveness of PD. The results showed that PD effectively improves five points: (1) design concepts and attitudes, (2) design methods, (3) problem solving and communication skills, (4) implementing design concepts, and (5) responding to the variety of user needs. This PD teaching model employs a well-established practical process to form an effective teaching routine, which is expected to be universally applied to other related design courses.

10 Variations of an Architectural Design Theme Analogy between Compositional Principle and Musical Theme in the Design of the “Napoleon and the Myth of Rome” Exhibition Project

The essay “10 variations of an architectural design theme” use comparative analysis to analogize the morphological development of an architectural compositional principle with the variations of a musical theme. The case study is the design of the temporary exhibition “Napoleon and the myth of Rome” in the archaeological complex of Trajan’s Markets - Museum of the Imperial Fora. This temporary exhibition, with more than 100 works – including sculptures, paintings, prints, medals, gems, etc. - some from the same period as those in the permanent exhibition, has to dialogue with the archaeological complex and the permanent collection from its own identity. The team of architects who designed the installation of the temporary exhibition chose to start from a clear compositional principle that throughout the exhibition path loses, gains, sublimates, or simplifies elements as it adapts to the specifics of the space, program, lighting, and permanent collection pieces location, in order to discern the temporary exhibition from the permanent collection. Through this case study, we can see how each of the variations, in architecture as in music, reinforces and helps to achieve higher comprehensibility of the main theme.

Bukit Kelam is the largest monolith rock in the world beating Ayers Rock in Uluru, Australia. Bukit Kelam is located in Kelam Permai District, Sintang Regency, West Kalimantan. Bukit Kelam is can attract tourists with its uniqueness. This hill is also an iconic tourist attraction. This potential has not been accompanied by the accommodation in the fulfillment of the needs of visitors. Based on existing observations and data, lodging accommodation is not yet available in this area. Facilities are needed that can be a place of retreat for tourists in the form of a Resort hotel. There are also issues sourced from the official website of the Sintang Regency Investment Departement (DPMPTSP) regarding investment development in the form of hotel construction in Kelam Permai District. Resort Hotels are not only a lodge but can also be a medium for visitors to enjoy the natural potential in the Bukit Kelam area. The application of the design theme "Back to nature" in Resort hotels is to uniting nature and the environment around the Bukit Kelam area with the buildings and activities. The concepts of this design theme are to make visitors enjoy the unspoiled potential of nature. With the Resort hotel, it can complement the accommodation in supporting the potential of the Bukit Kelam.

Construction of Automatic Matching Recommendation System for Web Page Image Packaging Design Based on Constrained Clustering Algorithm

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, computer vision science has also gained new opportunities. As the foundation of computer vision and numerous artificial intelligence applications, image matching technology has received extensive attention from researchers and companies around the world. However, in web design, the research on the image matching system is not mature enough, which results in a series of problems such that the web design is not beautiful enough, and the figures do not conform to the design theme. Therefore, it is the current trend to deeply study the structure of the automatic matching recommendation system for web page image packaging design. The purpose of this paper is to use the constrained clustering algorithm to study how to construct an automatic matching recommendation system for web page image packaging design. This paper first gives a general introduction to the classification of constrained clustering algorithms. Then, the operation mechanism and model establishment of SURF feature description operator, SIFT feature description operator, and ORB feature description operator are described in detail. Then, through experiments, the matching accuracy of the web page image matching system based on the constrained clustering algorithm and the influence of parameter changes are compared with other algorithms. Finally, a comparative experiment is carried out on the image matching effects of the three feature description operators. The matching speed, noise sensitivity, and rotation type experiments are introduced respectively. By constructing the web page image packaging design of the constrained clustering algorithm to automatically match the algorithm model of the recommender system and experimenting with the model, the advantages of the constrained clustering algorithm in the model construction are proved. The experimental results show that the constrained clustering algorithm has higher image matching efficiency and matching accuracy, and the accuracy of image feature extraction is better than other algorithms. However, when the network structure division attribution threshold is ϕ = 0.4 , the clustering performance of the constrained clustering algorithm is better. Compared with the parameter 100, when the parameter is 500 and 1000, the accuracy of the constrained clustering algorithm can be improved, and the calculation accuracy is increased by 0.317.

Business Models and Strategy Configurations in Small and Medium Enterprises

We adopt a configurational approach for exploring how Small and Medium Enterprises combine business models design themes and competitive strategies with each other. Analyzing a sample of 96 manufacturing firms, we identified four equifinal configurations leading to high performance and five equifinal configurations associated with low performance. Three out of four high performing configurations combine at least one of the four business models design themes and a competitive strategy, while the fourth configuration relies only on a firm’s competitive strategy. Configurations of low performing SMEs, instead, rely on the absence of the differentiation strategy, while the niche market strategy can be present or absent according to the different combinations with the business model design themes. Our study contributes to research on business models and to debate about the relationship between business model and strategy.
