A sharp distinction is occurring, however, as innovation in education is forcing a redefinition of teaching, learn­ ing, schooling, and education. Educational technology is replacing some of the tasks the teacher assumed: thus the role of the teacher and student is requiring new thought. "Electronic media, including programmed materials, will not replace teachers but will help replace them, enable them to play the important role of guide, counselor, moti­ vator, briefer of an exploring party, organizer integrator, critical questioner, intellectual gadfly— do the things that only a live and lively teacher can do in personal face-to-face communication."^ "The business of education is to invest experience with meaning and organize it in a way which will expand the individual's capacity for further learning. Develop­ ments in educational technology are amplifying and ^Edgar Dale, "New Media: Men and Machines," Audio Visual Media, Vol. 3, No. 2 (Summer, 1969), p. 35. 1 2 accelerating this process#" Accordingly, the role of technology is twofold. One aim is liberation of man, calling him to control technology rather than be controlled# The other aim is for the liberated person to be able to dominate the material in such a way that it becomes a medium for his creative self- expression and self-actualization# Earl J. McGrath, former U. S# Commissioner of Educa­ tion, made the following statement during a symposium in March, 1971: My conception of the principle functions of the learning center embraces the idea of personalized opportunities geared to the interests, abilities, and schedules of each student. Because of the faculty's increasing concern with, and knowledge of, the individual student, and the wide range of optional facilities in the learning center, each learner can be considered a special c a s e #3 The symposium, in which one hundred and fifty persons participated, was held at Oklahoma Christian College in Oklahoma City. The question, "What are we learning about learning centers?" was being examined by persons with interest and experience in educational technology.

Oklahoma: Eagle Msara","T97Tf, p.- To.— 3 Mr. McGrath referred to Future Shock, by Alvin Toffler, as it is related to the learning center concept: Computers. • • make it easier for the school to cope with independent study, with a wider range of course offerings and more varied extra­ curricular activities. More important, computer assisted instruction, programmed instruction, and other such techniques, despite popular mis­ conceptions, radically enhance the possibility of diversity in the classroom. They permit each student to advance at his own purely personal pace. They permit him to follow a custom-cut path toward knowledge, rather than a. rigid syllabus as in the traditional industrial era classroom.4 The idea of the learning center, or learning labora­ tory as it has been referred to in some literature, has been in operation in various forms, Winnetka Public Schools, among others, have been experimenting with the concept as they have integrated libraries and instructional materials centers into a learning laboratory. "We see the learning laboratory as a place for excursion and extension of the mind and spirit of the child, not normally attain­ able in the conventional classroom."5 "We believe that self-instruction, self-motivation, and independent inquiry are characteristics of education to be strongly supported and enhanced by teachers and the

Existing in the context of the 2008 financial and subsequent political crisis, both this thesis and my work are situated in an expanded field of graphic design. This research examines the emergence of the terms critical design and critical practice, and aims to develop methods that use criticism during the design process from a practitioner’s perspective. Central aims of this research are to address a gap in design discourse in relation to this terminology and impact designers operating under the banner of such terms, as well as challenging practitioners to develop a more critical design practice. The central argument of this thesis is that in order to develop a critical practice, a designer must approach design as criticism.

  • The" Oklahoma Eagle": a Study of Black Press Survival
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 270 809 CS 209 908 AUTHOR Brown, Karen F. TITLE The "Oklahoma Eagle": A Study of Black Press Survival. PUB DATE Aug 86 NOTE 18p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (69th, Norman, OK, August 3-6, 1986). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150)-- Reports - Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Black Businesses; Black Employment; Journalism; *Newspapers; Publications; Publishing Industry IDENTIFIERS Family Owned Businesses; *Goodwin (Edward Lawrence); Journalism History; News Reporters; *Oklahoma Eagle ABSTRACT Analyzing the history of the "Oklahoma Eagle" provides insight into the problems and the opportunities involved in operating a black newspaper and reveals the factors re..ponsible for the paper's longevity. The paper has been owned and operated by members of the Edward Lawrence Goodwin family since 1938 and has been staffed by excellent journalists over thecourse of the years. A review of copies of the "Eagle" from the last 9years reveals a number of consistencies. The paper was normally neat and well edited, and contained many ads, particularly in the 1970s. Generally, the paper provided significant news. A member of the Goodwin family listed five factors that have enabled the paper to survive: (1) quality staff; (2) advertising success; (3) size of community; (4) sound relations with the community; and (5) family commitment. Eight years have passed since the death of E. L. Goodwin, and the family-owners have undertaken changes, but they have yetto find solid management footing. The problems of the "Eagle"are typical of the Black press today, and other papers may benefit from the "Eagle's" experience.

  • Philosophy of Design: a Meta- Theoretical Structure for Design Theory
    Philosophy of design: a meta- theoretical structure for design theory Terence Love, Praxis Education, 21 Spiers Rd, Quinns Rocks, Western Australia This paper focuses on the structure and dynamic of theory in design research. Problems with existing theory are explored, and a new meta- theoretical method is suggested for assisting the critical analysis, comparison and formulation of design theories and concepts. This meta- theoretical method contributes to building a simplifying paradigm of design research by providing a means to clarify the existing state of design theory in the field, to assist with the establishment of coherence and compatibility between concepts in disparate theories, to validate theory and concepts, and to uncover ‘hidden’ aspects of design theories. 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved Keywords: philosophy of design, design theory, epistemology, ontology, design philosophy his paper is a contribution to the study of Philosophy of Design. In it, a critical overview is taken of the structure and dynamic of Tdesign theory. This overview leads to a method to assist with the critical analysis of design theories and their associated concepts. If we consider ‘design theory’ as an artefact to be designed, this paper’s role is in the part of the design process often called ‘problem analysis’. Under- pinning what is presented in this paper is an assumption that the act of designing by human agents is central to the academic study of design. This theoretical standpoint, that what is described as design always implicates humans, together with the understanding that any theories, theorising or theory interpretation has meaning only in a human context, is the basis for the analyses presented below.

  • Book Review: the Philosophy of Design by Glenn Parsons
    blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofbooks/2016/04/27/book-review-the-philosophy-of-design-by-glenn-parsons/ Book Review: The Philosophy of Design by Glenn Parsons In The Philosophy of Design, Glenn Parsons provides a well-structured discussion of the philosophy of design, drawing upon his extensive work on beauty, aesthetics and nature. The book shows design as a valid and important area of philosophical inquiry, covering a range of social, epistemological and ethical issues. Mona Sloane finds this an essential read for anyone looking for an engaging and accessible mapping of existing philosophical scholarship on design. The Philosophy of Design. Glenn Parsons. Polity. 2015. In recent years, the term ‘design’ has attracted increasing attention among academics and practitioners alike. While new sub-disciplines such as ‘design anthropology’ and ‘innovation design’ have emerged on the scholarly horizon, paradigms like ‘design thinking’ continue to conquer the business world. However, despite this growing presence of ‘design’ as both a mode of practice and scholarly focus, there has been little philosophical investigation and commentary on the phenomenon. The single-authored book, The Philosophy of Design, by Glenn Parsons, Associate Professor in Philosophy at Ryerson University, Toronto, sets out to change that. It provides a well-structured discussion of the term ‘design’ from a philosophical standpoint, rooted in Parsons’s extensive work on beauty, aesthetics and nature. It aims to demonstrate the significance of design as a relevant area of philosophical inquiry and therefore to map out the philosophical issues and questions that arise from contemporary design practice. The book consists of seven chapters, starting with a brief introduction and ending with an epilogue (including a quite helpful page on suggested further reading).

  • Undesign. the Un-Designability of the Virtual. Design from Problem-Solving to Problem-Finding
    UnDesign. The Un-designability of the Virtual Betti Marenko PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE In UnDesign Gavin Sade, Gretchen Coombs, Andrew McNamara (eds.) Urban Modernities Research group, Brisbane. London: Continuum (2015) UnDesign. The Un-designability of the Virtual. Design from Problem-solving to Problem-finding. Abstract Drawing on Deleuze (1991) this essay investigates the virtual as what problematizes the possible by inserting contingency in the process of emergence of the new. The tension between the virtual as what is uniquely placed to engender true innovation, and its aleatory and unforeseeable nature mirrors the tension existing in design between form-making and the need to acknowledge contingency. In embracing the un-designability of the virtual design takes contingency and material variability as forces impinging on the process of emergence of the new. I suggest a new model for design research from problem- solving to problem-finding based upon the undesigned at the core of design itself. This points to a further shift: the role of designer from creator to facilitator, teasing form out of the formless, engaged with manifold forces expressed through material variation. Examples from design current engagement with smart and synthetic biomaterials are assessed through this theoretical paradigm. Keywords Virtual, problem, contingency, Deleuze, undesigned, material variability, morphogenesis, smart and synthetic biomaterials. 1 UnDesign. The Un-designability of the Virtual Betti Marenko We are the product of contingent events, material histories, webs and networks of anonymous forces. Robin Mackay 2011 3 Introduction This chapter aims at positioning itself as a speculative proposal for a new theoretical framework in design research based around notions of material morphogenesis and the virtual, as what problematizes the possible by inserting contingency in the process of emergence of the new.
