User Experience Design (UXD) Competency Model: Identifying Well-Rounded Proficiency for User Experience Designers in the Digital Age
Atthaves Borriraklert, Supaporn Kiattisin
Abstract
Most college-level design programs in the United States trace their curricular heritage and pedagogical practices to the Bauhaus and other modernist efforts to improve the function and appearance of messages, products, and environments. The typical location of design study in departments or colleges of art emphasized the visual qualities of objects, mastery of craft, and individual authorship as core values. And the trade-based history of design encouraged resistance to the development of theory and substantive study across disciplines for much of the twentieth century.
