Abstract

This chapter proposes a preliminary structure for an undergraduate course in Design based on a pragmatic understanding of the learning process. Starting from a systematic literature review and based on first-hand experience as teachers, we argue that pragmatism, like phenomenology, strongly influences design education. Following this insight, we contend that Design may be regarded as a normative discipline and thus propose a macrostructure that contemplates (1) tradition and foundations; (2) practice and research; and (3) business and transdisciplinarity. Our proposal focuses on a flexible academic trajectory that understands creativity as a novel idea development process that connects existing knowledge and solves problems through making. Everyone involved with teaching and learning design will find in this chapter references of interest since the changing nature of the requirements for design education forces us to think and re-make our field from a plural standpoint.
