New pedagogical practices of co-creation applied to Design.

Abstract

With the creation in 1999 of a European Space for Higher Education, there was a change in the teaching paradigm, from a passive model based on the acquisition of knowledge, to an active model based on the development of competences. But the current social, environmental and technological challenges have changed teaching-learning methods and processes in a relatively short period of time, providing new pedagogical practices, where collaboration with other disciplines and actors enhance creativity, innovation and research in design.This article is the result of two experimental international pedagogical projects and pedagogical contents taught in the Project Management and Ergonomics curricular units, at the Master in Graphic Design from the Polytechnic Institute of Castelo Branco and of the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Lisbon, Portugal.This work has as main objective to identify new pedagogical practices of co-creation and agile methodologies applied in the development of Design projects in an academic environment, as well as to identify methodologies and models of collaboration and co-design, characterized by interdisciplinary dialogue in a collaborative context, considering alternative educational practices in teaching-learning of design.
