ABSTRACT

The question of how individual features affect the development of design expertise has yet to be thoroughly researched. While some works acknowledged the importance of design abilities and creative ideation for design expertise, there is no theoretical framework that explicates their relationships and supports it empirically. The present research proposes a conceptual model and examines these relationships while integrating temporal experience as a moderating factor. Data were collected using a survey distributed among web community groups of designers and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Findings showed that design ability was positively related to design expertise, and design creative ideation was positively related to design ability. Moreover, the positive relationship between design creative ideation and design expertise was mediated by design ability. Additionally, design experience moderated the relationship between design ideation and design ability, indicating that the relationship between ideation and design ability was stronger for less experienced designers. This study facilitates a deeper understanding about the contribution of design ability, creative ideation, and temporal experience to design expertise.

摘要

个体功能如何影响设计专业知识发展的问题尚待深入研究。尽管有些作品承认设计能力和创新思想对设计专业知识的重要性，但没有理论框架可以阐明它们之间的关系并以经验为依据。本研究提出了一个概念模型，并在整合时间经验作为调节因素的同时研究了这些关系。使用在设计师的网络社区组之间分布的调查收集数据，并使用结构方程模型（SEM）进行分析。结果表明，设计能力与设计专业知识成正比，设计创意与设计能力成正比。此外，设计创意与设计专长之间的正相关关系是由设计能力所介导的。此外，设计经验减轻了设计构思与设计能力之间的关系，表明对于经验不足的设计师而言，构思与设计能力之间的关系更强。这项研究有助于更深入地了解设计能力，创意和时间经验对设计专业知识的贡献。
