  1. Stimulating the Practice of Opportunity Identification Dr. Kev Hilton

  2. Introduction • School of Design • Pilot CGU Content • Method • Results • Discussion

  3. School of Design • More effective use of time • Core Guidance Unit (CGU) • Metacognitive approach to teaching • Individual Differences • Opportunity identification (Oi) • Self-Developmental Behaviour

  4. Pilot CGU Content Design is about Creative Management: Management by problem solving ‘A reactive approach’ Management by opportunity identification ‘A proactive approach’ Not all opportunities come as problems to solve

  5. Pilot CGU Content

  6. Pilot CGU Content Misconceptions and Ill-Structured Problems, in questions or briefs, can wrongly direct those involved in the process. For example, we find ‘Lateral thinking’ puzzles typically have: Key elements Situational elements Distractor elements

  7. Pilot CGU Content The Car. A man was pushing his car towards a hotel. He knew that as soon as he arrived, he would be bankrupt. Q: What sort of car was it? A: A Monopoly Counter.

  8. Pilot CGU Content Brain Hemisphere Dominances Left Brain: Right Brain: Logical Random Sequential Unordered Linear Intuitive Rational Holistic

  9. Pilot CGU Content Learning Styles: Visual Auditory Kinesthetic

  10. Pilot CGU Content Thinking Styles Functions:Forms: Legislative Monarchic Executive Hierarchic Judicial Oligarchic Anarchic Levels:Scope:Leanings: Global Internal Liberal Local External Conservative

  11. Pilot CGU Content Intelligence Types: Linguistic Mathematical Visual Physical Musical Environmental Emotional Social Spiritual Practical

  12. Pilot CGU Content Opportunities for Exercise: Alternative uses Associations/Scenarios Twenty questions Lateral thinking How things work Why things don’t work Natural phenomena A day in the life of…. Have a go Doing things differently Magic tricks Analogies Knowledge transfer Journal or Sketchbook

  13. Pilot CGU Content • Information Management Processes: • Filtering • Chunking • Weighting • Distraction • Metaphors • Dreams • Incubation

  14. Pilot CGU Content Mood and Motivation: Arousal: Drowsy - Alert - Anxious Flow = Challenge v Ability Motivation = Reward / (Risk+Effort)

  15. Method • Involve the SMG and TLC • Develop Feedback Questionnaire • Develop the Seminar Material • Review Questionnaire and Seminar Material • Run the first year of Questionnaires • Trial the Seminar Material • Deliver the Seminars • Run the second year of Questionnaires • Collate Feedback and End-of-Year Marks • Draw initial conclusions

  16. Results • Feedback sheets evidenced: • Negligible reference to the pilot CGU material • Comments concerning one particular CGU topic • Comments concerning course unit material • Much disagreement in student opinion

  17. Results Six Years of Total End-of-Year Marks:

  18. Discussion • Value of feedback • Value of seminar content • Value of seminar approach • Value to the School of Design • An extended pilot as proposed next stage
