| Summary: | A goal of every designer is to create successful products for consumers. In
creating a successful product, it is crucial for a designer to understand
consumers’ perceptions of a product early in the design process.
Nevertheless, design students lack the necessary data collection and user
testing skills to support effective design decision-making. Consequently,
their products might not be acceptable to the intended consumers and are
thus likely to fail in the marketplace. For design students to acquire those
skills, design curricula should incorporate statistical courses teaching the
concepts of data and user testing. We addressed this challenge by developing
an automated visual tool named DACADE, assisting design students to
systematically collect and analyze data. This paper reports the theoretical
implications discovered during the process from designing through to
implementing and evaluating DACADE concerning the transfer of learning,
the appropriateness of graphics used in a software tool, and user motivation
in a learning environment. |
