Creativity in design education
Creative design
This PhD study seeks to establish how sustainable creative mindsets can be engendered in product design education through the development of questioning dispositions. This involves investigating the role question-asking plays in supporting creativity, how questions influence the creative processes of design professionals, and how questions impact the creative thinking of student product designers. The final phase will investigate what strategies can be used to nurture design students' ability to ask questions in order to enhance their creativity.
