Supporting reflection-in-action in the Janus design environment

摘要: We have developed a computer-based design aid called Janus, which is based on model of computer-supported that we think has significance for the future architectural education. Janus utilizes knowledge-based approach to link graphic construction system hypertext. This allows computer make useful comments solutions students construct in CAD-like environment. These contain information intended more carefully about what they are doing while it. In other words, promotes Donald Schon "reflection-inaction" (Schon, 1983). The environment named Roman god with pair faces looking opposite directions. our case correspond complementary activities call and argumentation. Construction activity graphically creating form solution e.g., building. Traditionally this been done tracing paper, pencils, pens. Argumentation reasoning problem its solution. includes such things as considering do next, alternative courses action available, course choose. mostly verbal but partly graphical.
