Background In completing design assignments as part of the curriculum in the education field, instructors introduce a variety of problem-solving methods and design methodologies. While relatively straightforward assignments tend to proceed smoothly, tasks that require high levels of creativity often result in superficial problem-solving approaches. Thus, this researcher aims to adapt the TRIZ methodology, which is optimized for the engineering field but has limitations in design applications, to better suit design majors, so that it can be used for tasks that demand advanced creativity.
Methods The research is divided into primary and secondary studies. The primary study focuses on developing a process model tailored for design majors based on the existing TRIZ process. Firstly, participants use the TRIZ process to solve their assigned tasks, after which a survey is conducted. The collected survey data are analyzed to develop a design process based on the drawn data. The secondary study aims to validate the effectiveness of the developed design process. Participants perform a design task using this developed process, followed by another survey. The data from this survey are analyzed to assess the appropriateness of the design process, leading to the proposal of a final design process tailored for design majors.
Results The design process based on the TRIZ methodology consists of seven steps (7-Step Problem-Solving, 7SPS), beginning with the preparation stage (0SPS), followed by understanding design principles and developing design skills (1SPS). The subsequent steps include: Discovering problems and verbalizing observations (2SPS); Deriving contradictions (3SPS); Analyzing contradictions (4SPS); Deriving design concepts (utilizing resources) (5SPS); Design sketching (6SPS); and lastly, Design visualization (presentation) (7SPS).
Conclusion This study anticipates unexpected challenges in the design education field, stemming from variations in learners’ levels and their surrounding environments. However, hopefully, this research will pave the way for continued exploration of TRIZ-related studies. |
