Design Institute Evaluation Framework (DIEF)
The design institutes of India often face a question – Is there any framework for measuring best practices for design education and quality outcomes of students? The answer to this question is ‘NO’. there are more questions around the previous one, which is – how do you measure the design qualities and learning outcomes? What is the best practice(s) in design education? What is the quality of design education? What is the standard of design colleges in India?
To answer these questions, as a quick solution we have a recently launched – Design Institute Evaluation Framework (DIEF). Drona Seeker pleasantly hosts the Design Institute Evaluation Framework (DIEF) to help design institutes, maintain the minimum standard of Design Education in India. According to this framework, a design institute can be evaluated based on the following measures –
- Outcome-Based Learning Practices (OBLP) in Design Education- 30% – Quantitative and Qualitative Measures
- Infrastructures for Design Education (IDE) – 10% Quantitative and Qualitative Measures
- Design Research Outcomes (DRO) – 30% – Quantitative and Qualitative Measures
- Design Culture and Social Contributions (DCSC) – 20% – Quantitative and Qualitative Measures
- Placement Records (PR) – 10% –– Quantitative Measure
