Self-organising system design method to improve creativity and effectiveness of experimental learning

Abstract

The learning process in the experimental design of visual communication design is one of the in-depth processes of the design methodology application. The objectives of this study include (1) increasing the effectiveness of self-organising system method to spur the level of creativity; (2) Improving the quality of the experimental learning process technically; and (3) Testing the effectiveness of self-organising system method. This type of research used qualitative research that reflectively describes the findings of factual data regarding the development of the learning process and the effectiveness of the self-organising system in the field. Data collection procedures used the reflection model proposed by Ralph, namely, reflective and intuitive designs. The research results show that (1) learning outcomes can be improved through the process of creativity as a result of experimental learning methods of visual communication design and the application of the self-organising system design method, (2) the quality of experimental learning processes can be improved through the self-organising system design method as an alternative of experimental learning in the visual communication design course, and (3) effectiveness of the strategy can be tested through the self-organising system method that significantly influences the experimental learning process in the visual communication design course.
