Teachers navigating and experiencing Design Studio Partnerships

• In Event: Navigating and Experiencing Partnerships in Higher Education: A Multistakeholder Perspective

Abstract

This study seeks to identify how teachers navigate and experience in Design Studio partnerships (Van Diggelen et al., 2021).
Perspective
Higher education institutions (HEIs) aim to prepare students for future societal challenges like sustainability, climate change, poverty, and polarization. One approach to this goal is Design-Based Education (DBE), where students, teachers, researchers, and societal or industrial partners collaborate in partnerships to design solutions for real-world problems. These Design Studio partnerships require teachers to take on both conventional and unconventional roles. However, teachers often experience struggles with these roles and the competencies that are demanded (Assen et al., 2023).
