    Engaging Material Education in Design

    No full text
    OVERVIEW: For years now, design students have started to hold a conscious dialogue with materials, especially considering materials and their experiential attributes as designable elements. However, the design education focused on materials still struggles to keep pace with the practical needs of future designers and contradicts the technological and material world where we live. This study aims to comprehend the dynamic role materials play in design education and propose a feasible pedagogical framework based on the concept of materials experience. Through two consistent studies where the materials courses and their results in design schools are analysed, the research has worked out the corresponding material innovation patterns and highlighted the relevant design capacity. Then, the hypothesis of the pedagogical framework is proposed, with its feasibility verified in a real classroom to conclude the research

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
