Pupils’ Education Based on Design Learning: an Approach on Learning Performance

There are common basic skills in children that are also components of design. The current research aims to study these skills in children as designers and the necessity of designas a part of the elementary school curriculum. To test the hypothesis, the authors held two design workshops for elementary first-graders. The results suggest that children, as consumers of design, can be trained to become designers and that a design appealing to children is pleasing to adults as well, but the reverse is not always true.
