Pre–post Observation Research Fosters a Preliminary Study in Product Form Identity

Abstract

This research was specifically developed for the preliminary study of verbal protocol analysis (VPA) for the recognition of design representation underlying a design activity phenomenally based on design research ethics. The ethics case study purposely aims to develop the pre-post observation on a rigorous prescriptive study of the think-aloud design experience according to the eco-design identity in the product form context. Eight pilot participants were sampled from the degree-level product design programme from the School of Arts, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, Malaysia. In the preobservational study, the emphasis on design pattern via a reflective practice (RP) approach using the visual imagery interactions between interpolative and extrapolative strategies was utilised by design scheme method. Meanwhile in the post-observational analysis, rubrics for evaluation were used as a design tool assessment to evaluate the concept of eco-design artefact by using the quality of the morphological patterns. The rehearsal prescriptive analysis, also known as s VPA's preliminary study (VPAPS), was predicted to show the design representation (by contextual learning) with the interpretation of the eco-design identity. The outcome should present an encode of the designer's human cognition framed by the design phenomena's existence within an educational reliability test. By using dual method triangulation, a rigorous VPA method ethically achieved a future design criterion as the goal of design representation pertaining to real-fieldwork case study for design and engineering education.

Design Pedagogy: Pictographic Design Artefacts Perceived Artificial Intelligence Elements for Product Designers

“…The heuristic method recognises two steps for analysing the AI element datasets: (1) the triangulation of design cognition into (2) the conception of a design bridge. Having validated by the heuristics method, this study used the morphing study (Akner-Koler, 2000), which derives the semantics design thinking that the bipolar photographic images (adjective and antithesis; beauty and ugly) will intuitively align the design continuum scale (Abidin, 2012;Chumiran et al, 2018;Chumiran, Abidin, & Mohamed Kamil, 2020;Zainal Abidin, Anwar, & Rahim, 2020). Using the semantics of pictographic design artefact will result in the emergence of the semiotic signs.…”

“…The R&D design studio usually interacts using the IoT communication to convey "a deep understanding of the designerly way of knowing" to the professional designers (Tovey, 2015). Internal design activities such as studio training, design workshop, modelling course, brainstorming session, and critical thinking are created the design experience into reflective practice (Chumiran, Abidin, & Mohamed Kamil, 2020;Mohamed Kamil, & Abidin, 2015). This tacit knowledge brings some approaches to frame problem identification and design solution.…”

Data Collection Instrument in Designerly Intuition Study

“…As presented by Cross (2006), the term Designerly implies that 'Designerly ways of knowing' should be the third knowledge that must be introduced as general education in schools, alongside the sciences and humanities. This third knowledge area differs from the sciences and humanities in that it deals with design-specific things to know, ways of knowing and ways to know them (Chumiran, Abidin, and Mohamed Kamil, 2020;Zainal Abidin, Sigurjónsson, Liem, and Keitsch, 2008). The delicate area of this knowledge lies within the constructivist paradigm in which the learning process is active in nature and knowledge recipients create their subjective representation of reality.…”

The Challenges and Initiatives of Teaching Product Design’s Course Online During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Malaysia

“…Nowadays, product design discipline has evolved as an important role to produce an innovative product through research innovation. One of the current approaches to enhance the quality of human and values is to integrate the human factor into product design by understanding the human behaviour, difficulties and needs (Abdullah Sani et al, 2019;Chumiran et al, 2020;Kamil et al, 2019aKamil et al, , 2019bMohamed Kamil et al, 2018;Sani et al, 2020). During the pandemic COVID-19, the field of product design has made a significant contribution to the development of great design thinkers (Fu & Liang, 2020;L.…”
