It is therefore critical that design educators’ understand the effects that design constraints can have on the learning process. This paper aims to examine the potential to affect student responses and associated learning from design tasks based on the manipulation of task variables. A study was designed to examine the effects of two modelling systems – one parametric and one non-parametric – on the thought processes and design journeys of the students. The findings suggest that the use of parametric modelling can emphasis student thinking on technical considerations while the use of a freeform moulding CAD system affords a more creative orientation. Qualitative findings demonstrate the capacity of students to select appropriate strategies to complete the design task, further indicating that relaxing design constraints can support student learning in design activities. Considering curricular intentions to develop both technical and creative competencies, this study presents empirical findings illustrating how teachers can strategically design tasks which balance expected student responses with intended learning outcomes.  \nKey words  \ngraphical education, Design, Modelling, CAD, Learning, Curriculum intent  \nIntroduction  \nGraphical education was introduced into post-primary education in Ireland within the subject of Art and Drawing in 1923 whereby the graphical component was seen within the section named Mechanical Drawing and Design. The vocational origins of the subject are clearly illustrated through the inclusivity of technical draughtsmanship as an examinable skill, however design was also a core aspect of the subject as shown through its synthesis with art education (Seery, Lynch, & Dunbar, 2011) . Examples of design activities within the subject included the design of posters, book covers, abstract compositions and fabrics (SEC, 1970) .  \nSince its inception graphical education in Ireland has undergone a number of educational reforms (Seery et al., 2011) and has evolved into the contemporary subject of Design and Communication Graphics (DCG) at upper post-primary level. As one of the four subjects within the suite of technology education subjects in Ireland (Technology, Construction Studies, and Engineering form the remaining three) the overall agenda of DCG is to  \ncontribute to the development of technological capability (DES, 2007a) . In conjunction with this, DCG has a number of specific aims and objectives. While a wide variety of specific objectives exist such as developing visuospatial reasoning skills, developing graphical communication skills, and providing a basis for lifelong learning, two clear aims permeate the syllabus: developing creative and designerly competencies, and developing technical expertise (DES, 2007a) . Specifically in relation to creativity, DCG aims to “prepare [students] to be creative participants in a technological world” by affording them the opportunity to“express their creativity in a practical and imaginative way, using a variety of forms: verbal, graphic, model, etc.”(DES, 2007a, p.5) while simultaneously from a technical perspective students should be “familiar with the principles, concepts, terminology and methodologies associated with the graphics code” and be “able to produce neat and accurate drawings that comply with internationally recognised standards and conventions”(DES, 2007a, p.6) . Clearly, the subjects’ vocational and creative aims still exist and from a pedagogical perspective it is therefore critical t","cbCaimoiDsQa1phQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimoiDsQa1phQ","pdf",850520,14,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Graphical education in Ireland\n# Technological Capability","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the paper?\",\"answer\":\"The paper examines how manipulating task variables in designerly tasks can affect student responses and associated learning.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the two modelling systems differ in their effects on students?\",\"answer\":\"Findings suggest parametric modelling emphasizes technical considerations, while a freeform moulding CAD system provides a more creative orientation.\"},{\"question\":\"What role do design constraints play in student learning?\",\"answer\":\"Qualitative results indicate that students can select appropriate strategies, and relaxing design constraints can support learning in design activities.\"}]","Balancing Curriculum Intent with Expected Student Responses to Designerly Tasks | PDF",1792089588,35]
