6.2.2 Disciplinary Practice (DP)

🌟 For guidance on choosing disciplinary practice, refer to Chapter 2.3 - Disciplinary Practice (DP)

As we have chosen the course-level pattern "Engineer/Inventor (Engineering Design + Self-directed Learning)",  the Learning Design Studio (LDS) will suggest and assign the Engineering Design as the DP. The details of this DP are automatically provided for you, as shown below:

Name: Engineering Design

Description: 

The disciplinary practice of 'Engineering Design' supports our young learners to apply their knowledge and skills in developing effective solutions to real-world problems. Like engineers and inventors, learners will engage in identifying problems, then ideate, design, create, and optimize solutions to address those challenges.

Role of Learner: Engineer, Inventor

Workflow Steps:

  • Identify the problem
  • Generate ideas for solutions
  • Design the solution
  • Construct a prototype
  • Test the prototype's performance and optimize the product

2. Learning Design Facilitator

 

  • In the Learning Design Facilitator, there are DP Patterns that we have designed for you to copy and use in your own design.

  • If you accidentally make changes to or remove the DP Pattern, you can easily add it back using the Learning Design Facilitator.

  • By clicking the image.png button, you can explore the details of the targeted DP pattern. 
  • You can use the targeted DP pattern directly by clicking "COPY" in the new pop-up window, or by clicking the image.png button in the Learning Design Facilitator. The DP pattern details will be automatically appear in the LDS.
