  • sketching Concept Development and automotive design
    Design Studies, 2003
    Co-Authors: Mark Tovey, S Porter, R M Newman
    Abstract:

    Abstract Sketching and its key role in Concept design are identified, and the particular circumstances of automotive design described. A brief summary of work in the general field of Concept sketching and visual thinking is presented. The particular characteristics of automotive design sketches; form lines, crown lines, area lines, shading and colouring are described, and a de-layering analysis undertaken. This demonstrates the primacy of form lines in the automotive design sketch. Observations, by video, of post-graduate students and six professional designers while sketching confirm the importance of the form lines in the design process, the interactive and iterative nature of Concept Development and the central role of the activity of sketching in this process. It is proposed that the design of CAD systems to support Concept Development must take account of the importance of sketching activity.

  • Concept Development and transfer in context based science education
    International Journal of Science Education, 2011
    Co-Authors: John K Gilbert, Astrid M W Bulte, Albert Pilot
    Abstract:

    ‘Context‐based courses’ are increasingly used in an address to the major challenges that science education currently faces: lack of clear purpose, content overload, incoherent learning by students, lack of relevance to students, and lack of transfer of learning to new contexts. In this paper, four criteria for the design of context‐based courses that would be successful in meeting these challenges are rehearsed. It is concluded that only a model based on ‘context as social circumstances’ would meet the four criteria for success. From this, the notion of Concept Development is presented based on the idea of the production of coherent mental maps. The notion of transfer is discussed in terms of how such mental maps may be useful for understanding other contexts. The definitions of Concept Development and transfer give a clearer view of how exemplars of existing context‐based approaches may be analysed to show their degree of facilitation of worthwhile science education. Research questions to be addressed in...
