| Descripción: | This paper outlines research undertaken at Loughborough University to investigate innovative methods of communicating the complex issues associated with Sustainability with post-16 students in the UK as part of their design and technology education. A series of posters articulating elements of sustainable design were developed by a team consisting of; sustainable design experts, two industrial designers and an undergraduate design student. The poster designs were presented to post-16 students and teachers in three iterative development cycles with the responses recorded using a mix of semi-structured discussion and a series of questionnaires. The research results indicate that posters can provide a useful and innovative method of communicating sustainable design issues to students in Design and Technology. However, the results also show that the content of posters must provide a balance of inspirational images and detailed information, with further resources available to enable more in-depth study. These findings are now being used to produce a final poster set which will be published by ITDG in the coming year and available for use by students when tackling sustainable design. |
