The Design-Based Learning emphasis provides candidates with a cohesive set of experiences in learning how to design curriculum based on a set of challenges or project-related questions that promote critical and creative thinking. Candidates learn how to challenge students to create physical objects that reflect themes, concepts, and standards. Using simplified techniques from the design professions, master’s candidates learn how to teach students to plan, experiment, discover, interpret, discriminate, revise and provide evidence of their analytical thinking.
