Analyzing the display of professional knowledge through interpersonal interactions in design reviews
Description
Design review in an educational setting is an activity that helps educators in assessing students’ progress, and provides opportunities for students to learn how professionals in the field perceive and judge design-in-process, aka professional vision. In this study we analyzed design reviews to understand how interpersonal interactions between participants provides a context for the expression of professional knowledge. We identified episodes of professional vision interaction, and examined the interpersonal responses that constitute a design review meeting. The results of the analysis demonstrated how the context for the display of professional vision was co-created through interactions between the reviewer and the students.
