由設計視覺溝通探討工業設計實務教學的實施

A Study on Industrial Design Practical Instruction via Visual Communication in Design

透過視覺媒材的設計溝通為工業設計實務教學的重要活動，適當的使用視覺媒材有助於教學互動與學習。然而，目前設計溝通媒材的使用之研究主要著眼於一般設計實務，或者遠距設計教學的活動，較少關注於教學現場所進行的溝通活動。因此，本研究期望藉由進入實際的設計實務教學現場，探討視覺媒材如何使用於師生設計溝通。透過文獻參考及實際觀察工業設計實務課程的視覺溝通活動，本研究首先建構分析工業設計實務課程中的設計視覺溝通的編碼架構，包含手勢、模型、即時繪圖等7項，並輔以師生問卷調查與訪談，探討設計討論中的視覺媒材的使用情形。研究結果顯示師生設計討論的參與結構會隨著工作的進展而有所改變－－從集體討論走向一對一討論。其次，手勢為最常被師生所使用的設計溝通行為，特別是用來指明口語所提到的事物，而對於討論中所使用到的視覺媒材功能，師生之間有不同的認知與使用程度上的差異，包含模型的即時修改程度以及使用手勢強調口語溝通。最後，本研究提出對於設計實務教學內容與教學環境上的建議，冀望有益於工業設計實務教學的規劃與實施。

Design communication through visual media is important in the practice teaching of industrial design. At present, however, the studies about design communication mainly focus on the fields of general design practice or distance design via communication technology. Recognizing the importance of design communication to the success of industrial design practice course, the study attempts to uncover the communication needs in industrial design practice course, with a view to facilitating the communication between the teacher and students. The main method employed to collect the data is the observation survey to the teachers and students' interaction in studio-like classroom. The observation data is analyzed via a coding scheme and cross reviewing in terms of the results from interview and questionnaire surveys to the teachers and the students in the course. The results suggest that the style of discussion changed along with the design development-from group discussion to one-by-one discussion. Besides, gesture is the material used most often in both teacher and students, who, on the other side, are different in using the communication materials. Having produced the knowledge to the communication activity in design practice course, the study then postulates the suggestions to the contents of industrial design practice course and the building of tutorial environment.
