“Educators are preparing students for problems that don’t exist yet, indeed jobs that have yet to be created. In this context there is no one scarier than the person who insists on doing things how they have always been done. ‘Introduction to Design Education: Theory, Research and Practical Applications for Educators’ manages to offer much-needed support while simultaneously compelling educators to question the efficacy and relevance of their pedagogy.”
