A Design Education Dilemma: Distinguishing Between Learning Outcomes at the Master’s & Doctoral Levels

Trena M. Paulus, Lisa Yamagata-Lynch, Miriam Larson

Research output: Contribution to conference › Presentation

Abstract

While several professional organizations have established learning outcomes or competencies for master level IDT students, none exist for doctoral level students who, it is hoped, are being prepared to advance the knowledge base of the field. This presentation outlines the challenges involved in distinguishing preparation programs for the two audiences, and explores how Cultural Historical Activity Theory and Discourse Theory might serve as lenses through which to view and understand the complexity of design.
