This study explored the industrial design student' learning attitudes, including the attitudes toward learning environment, teaching mode, courses, and self-study. Based on the result of literature review and data collected from five focus group interviews, a questionnaire was developed to survey 360 industrial design students from four universities in Taiwan. The findings are summarized as follows: 1) The main factors for students choosing a college include the college's facilities, environment, and reputation. 2) The main reason for students entering ID department is due to personal interests. 3) While learning design, students aspire for teachers to share design experiences with them. 4) While deciding elective courses, students place much emphasis on their own interests. 5) They would ask classmates or friends for help when encountering difficulties. 6) They devote much time and place emphasis on creative thinking and model-making during the design process. 7) Their design concepts mostly come from their life experiences. Moreover, further analysis shows that students' learning attitudes differ with gender, school, grade, background at high school, and achievements. The results of this study could be a useful reference for design educators in teaching and guidance. |
