Abstract

Collaborative project practices between industrial design education and industry provide a multi-layered basis for students to gain realistic experiences. However, there is still a significant gap between design education and industry in Turkey. For this reason, design education needs new opportunities and applications to be extended beyond university boundaries. This study presents a project of being a guest in the manufacturer’s house as an alternative practice in design education. In this project, a design studio course is conducted in a factory setting outside the university, combining academic knowledge with real-world production experience for students in design education, with an on-site learning approach. In this context, the aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of an industry-focused design studio course, structured through a collaborative approach, on students' learning motivation and contribution. The importance of the research findings in the study, which was structured as a case study within the scope of the qualitative research method, is based on its ability to bring a new perspective to the "on-site learning" process in the design studio course and to create a new application field within the context of university-industry collaboration.

Özet

Endüstriyel tasarım eğitimi ve sanayi arasında ki işbirlikçi proje uygulamaları öğrenciler için gerçekçi deneyimler kazanması için çok katmanlı bir zemin hazırlar. Ancak Türkiye'de tasarım eğitimi ile sanayi arasında hala önemli bir mesafe vardır. Bu nedenle tasarım eğitiminin üniversite sınırları dışına çıkması için yeni fırsatlara ve uygulamalara ihitiyacı vardır. Bu çalışma, tasarım eğitiminde alternatif bir uygulama olarak sanayicinin evine misafir olma projesidir. Üniversite sınırları dışında bir fabrikada açılan tasarım stüdyosu dersinde, yerinde öğrenme yaklaşımı ile, tasarım eğitiminde öğrencilerin gerçek bir üretim deneyimiyle akademik bilgiyi birleştirilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı; işbirlikçi bir yaklaşım ile yapılandırılan endüstri odaklı tasarım stüdyosu dersinin öğrencilerin öğrenme motivasyonu ve katkısı üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmektir. Nitel araştırma yöntemi kapsamında durum çalışması paradigmasına göre yapılandırılan çalışmada araştırma bulgularının önemi, tasarım stüdyosu dersinde “yerinde öğrenme” sürecine yeni bir bakış açısı getirebilmesi ve üniversite-sanayi işbirliğinde yeni bir uygulama alanı oluşturabilmesine dayanmaktadır.
