Useful paper on compression learning in Design Education by Stephen Allard at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/237757844_Globalized_Economics_Driv es_New_Design_Education_Methods_Inviting_Students_to_Participate_in_an_Incre asingly_Globalized_Design_Market It has implications for focus of Design research in areas of design education, creation of design tools, and creation of theories of design cognition. In support of the same idea, I've argued on this list and elsewhere that a fundamental problem of design education is that to be professionally competent as degree qualified designers students need to learn 5 to 10 times as much as is covered in current university design curricula to address the range of skills and knowledge needed. Some advantage has been gained by putting some of that knowledge into software so that AI replaces the role of human designers. This, however, doesn't exempt designers from the need to know more than is currently being taught in design education programs. The naivety of many current 'methods' of design practice has reflected much of that weakness in lack of scope of knowledge and skill. Stephen's paper points to a practical pathway to address some of the problems. Of course, it will require design educators to also up their game, and design researchers to support them in this.
