Dual-advocate reflection cards: supporting multifaceted and critical reflection on the design process

ABSTRACT:

To enhance multifaceted and critical reflection, we developed the Dual-Advocate Reflection Cards tool and carried out an empirical study. The eighteen student participants worked in pairs to reflect on their experiences. Transcripts of their discussions were analyzed, and we counted the frequency with which each card and each level of reflection intensity were discussed. The results indicated a strong link between card usage and utterances of multifaceted and critical reflection, as well as the effect of the cards on the reframing of the evaluation or understanding of the design process.
