Chapter 5
ID Competence Framework:
learning activity perspective
As stated in the previous chapter, one can have two different
perspectives on competence development, short-term and
long-term. The first, short-term perspective focuses on a
specific learning activity such as a project, an assignment, a
module or a master class, and addresses within that learning
activity the student’s development of specific competency
areas, of process activities, of deliverables and of overall
attitude. This perspective is explicated in this chapter. More
information on the different learning activities within the
Department of Industrial Design can be found in chapter
seven. The second, more long-term perspective looks at the
relationships between several learning activities over time,
resulting in the development of the overall competence of
designing. The student can look for his/her behavioural
patterns, a vision on designing, and growth as a designer over
time based on a set of learning activities. This perspective is
addressed in chapter six.
