Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 應用藝術所 === 88 === Today, the computer media has become more and more important in design process. It''s not only used as kind of simulated and presented media. Various kinds of researches also start developing the computer aided design system and probing the possibility using computers in creative activities. In resent years, many studies concentrate on the forepart of design, the concept generation stage, but most of them are based on conventional media such as papers and pencils. This study attempts to probe the different design thinking phenomenon produced through concept generation by computers from by conventional media, and the effects of the development and presence of design concept generation resulted from the merits and features of the computers themselves. Besides these, the difference between think-aloud and video/audio protocol for the using of computer media has also been concerned. The methodology of this study includes two parts, first is the design thinking experiment by gaining subject’s verbal data in think-aloud way and then encoding it to analyze. Another is the comparison experiment between think-aloud and video/audio protocol to contrast their ability of gaining data in quantity and quality about design cognition. This study finds some phenomena of design thinking when using computers to progress concept generation, and the oriented difference between two protocol reports, finally also mentions the limitation and further studies.
