对当前工业设计教学模式的思考

近年来,有些院校在工业设计专业的新教学计划中提出了“课程环”的构想。这样的教学模式试图把先前自成一体的课程有机地融解在数个相对的小系统中,进而形成以课题设计为中心的大系统。而过去的“三段式”教学模式则是以各门独立课程为中心的。在“三段式”教育下,有的学生几乎每门功课都优秀却做不出好设计来,更有甚者不懂设计程序而无法完成完整的设计。这种教学模式存在诸多弊端。

Reflections on the Present Teaching Mode of Industrial Design

In recent years,some universities have been considering a reform to their syllabus of the industrial design specialty.They put forward a new concept of "course loops",where the subjects are divided into several sub-systems.The whole system takes projects of design as its center.In the past the subjects were divided into three sections,hence a "three-section curriculum" which consists of individual subjects.Students may have an excellent performance in nearly every individual subject,but they are still unable to come up with good design,or even fail to complete a design project because they don't understand the procedures of designing.Considering the shortcomings of the old teaching mode,by which every subject is taught individually,the authors examine the present teaching mode of industrial design,and draw some conclusions based on their own teaching experience,thus making their contributions to the teaching in this field.
