Synopsis

This book spotlights design and media education in Asia, with contributors providing their reflections on curriculum development, pedagogy, and practice from Australia, China, Japan, India, Mongolia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Turkey.

The chapters provide in-depth and specific examples of how curricula and educational resources have been organised with respect to a wide variety of subjects, including aesthetics, engineering, and practice-based coursework. These course plans have also been adapted to respond to questions about integrating emerging technologies in the classroom and addressing changing industry needs as well as the need to encourage resilience and leadership skills across student and faculty cohorts. Although not an analysis of educational and industrial policies, some key documents such as The India Design Report of 1958 by Charles and Ray Eames and India’s National Education Policy of 2020 are referenced to provide important background information for understanding the past, present, and future of the design education ecosystem across the region.

Presenting both historical context and practical contemporary applications of curricula in specific universities and design schools, this volume is compiled to share resources among faculty and researchers interested in global Asian design pedagogy who have previously relied upon publications centred on the UK and US contexts. It will appeal to design educators and anyone responsible for design education curricula across the Asian region and beyond.
