Design Education on the Basis of 'Appreciation' and 'Design Process' : Tentative Plan for Design in Junior High Schools

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a design study plan for junior high school. First I present the change of the children and the problems of design education in the consumer society. From the problems, I expressed that the study that esteems the production process more than the completed work is important on the basis of the design process theory. Furthermore, I believe that it is important to increase the appreciation of design education works and to deepen the recognition of design. Therefore, design education must be done in the junior high school esteeming these two points further. The theme of the concrete design study is proposed in the last part of this paper.
