Abstract

The aim of this paper is to consider the formation and meanings of learning design. Authors are developing a new educational course that weaves "knowing" and "doing" together so that the learners not only receive knowledge, but acquire the ability to express, conceive, and materialize their concerns as well. As an attempt, authors have been developing a program, named “Design Camp,” in which participants learn design within the community, rather than through a university curriculum. This paper discusses how the participants of the camp "implicitly" learn design by developing multiple options of actions in the program and making decisions on actions to take.
