’Design research has led to a deep understanding of the nature of design that will be important in guiding design practice in the 21st century. In parallel a growing body of research into design education is having a similar impact on design pedagogy. This book presents excellent examples of such research with wide application across design education.’ Chris McMahon, University of Bristol, UK and immediate Past-President, the Design Society ’This is an excellent and timely contribution to the development of our understanding of design teaching. As leader of the Design Research Society’s Design Pedagogy special interest group, Mike Tovey has brought together several of its leading members to crystallize thinking in the field. Research in design pedagogy is flourishing and this book provides a significant contribution to the debate.’ Tracy Bhamra, Dean of Loughborough Design School, Loughborough University, UK
