• Resumen

  • It is a primary goal for designers to create not just high quality designs, but new and innovative designs. The means to promotecreative ideation on a consistent basis, and the conditions under which designers create new ideas are not well understood. In thispaper we discuss preliminary research on reflective practices used by designers in idea generation. We present a variety of reflectivepractices used by design students in coming up with new insights and ideas. We offer a clarified definition of reflective practice,derived from Donald Scho ̈n’s concept of reflection-in-action and prior studies of our own. Lastly, we propose and assess aframework for characterizing reflective practices.
