Research, design, and spatiality

An empirical study from the historical-cultural approach

Abstract

Researching some formative aspects of design students is essential because it allows to reflect on the ways, ways, and ways linked to the teaching-learning process, to deepen such a complete procedure. Experimental research and systematization are therefore required to demonstrate the knowledge that students have acquired. For this reason, a study was carried out in which 40 students from all semesters of the Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental and Space Design from the Faculty of Design of the University De La Salle Bajío participated. The results obtained in this research were analyzed from the historical-cultural approach, with the theoretical-practical component that it implies, since it has a corpus robust enough to show the experiences of the participants. Much of what was requested was oriented to the development of cognitive processes, so language would be the tool to approach knowledge linked to spatiality since linguistic aspects help to express experiences. This research is part of the study Facilitating Spaces and Experiences in Human Contexts, whose objective is to analyze the different forms of human interaction in configured spaces and how they influence, to a greater or lesser extent, the experiences, emotions, and experiences of people.
