The paper then reviews the otential of design educational activity, focusing on seven themes: • The aims of design education. • The significance of practical education. • Encouraging the imagination. • The creative value of aesthetic awareness. • The value of learning through making. • The creative relationships between designing and making. • The educational purpose of doing design projects. Research agenda are identified in key areas: the nature of imaginative activity and its significance in education; graphicacy and cognitive modelling in design.
