We warmly invite the education community to join our upcoming session about Q-Sorting.
This session is part of a series of meetings in which educators share, discuss, and learn from each other’s practices on Design for Values across the university. The series is organised by the Special Interest Group on Education of the Delft Design for Values Institute in collaboration with the Teaching Academy.
Compared to traditional list-based surveys, Q-Sorting is typically seen as more suited to show diversity of ideas. Maurits has used Q-Sorting quite extensively in courses and projects in BSc and MSc programmes.
The workshop will focus on two aspects.
First, a recent Q-Sort shows the ideas of students at CEG and outsiders about what engineering should focus on in the next ten years. These ideas are diverse and thus allow discussion on how goals and values are determined in the first place.
Second, using Q-Sorting in class – for example by defining a research setup together with students – allows engagement with questions of data, claims, and ideas in both research itself and the topic of the survey, whether this concerns where to go on holiday or which study activities are preferred.
