Reflective
journal –May 2016
Things to do this semester
1. Do coding with ‘after activity’
2. Find relation between cooking and after activity
3. Find ‘home related activity’ among my researches
(observation, interview, desk research)
4. Find case study
5. Categorize 4-7 years old development chracteristic
6. Ideation and design
*What factors can be borrow from first and second semester’s findings and
problems
1. I wondered if kids using IT device have beneficial effects on
children’s education aspect or not – first, one of the object of this research is to provide
cooking as a new hobby without display, I will focus more on ideas which is not
depending on display or digital devices, but if using digital is more
beneficial for self leading and
creativity, I will combine those factors.
2. Target
: I won’t limit the target of service, though main target is 4-7years old kids
who are highly probable to develop creativity. As for expandability classify
kids into age group(developmental stage) / classify kids into children’s
tendency and provide service for each group.
*Creativity/ what is essence of kid creativity?
What I did
last semester is find out the problem (design problem) in kids cooking class
and also core value. I found out that the core value of kids cooking class is
developing creativity and most of parents want their kids to improve their
creativity the most. Many cooking class show off that by participating the
class, kids could improve their creativity. However by observation and
interview, I found out that kids can experience new environment and can do
interesting activity, but there is less effect for creativity. –Need
continuous activity
*What is impediment factor of developing kids’ creativity at cooking class?
Temporary class, following recipe as it is,
following teacher as it is.
- Creativity is
not emerging at once. Kids need to experience many things and keep think about
new approaches and they need to be fearless to new changes. So if parents want
their kids to develop creativity, they need to provide continuous activity
(services) after the class. Practically it is hard in public places, but if
they spend time and give effort in ‘home’ there will be changes.
*Home related activity / after services
‘Parents
participating education’ or ‘cooking class with parent’ focus on event seems
like public relation of company not for children’s development and interesting.
A child education institute should cooperate with family and should be clear on
the object of education is to develop creativity and grow the whole man.
As for my
research, If cooking class is a center platform, (most parents are afraid of approaching
cooking with their kids they find the cooking class) they can learn knowledge
about ingredients and dishes and also try variety of activity that is
impossible in home. And the kids came back home they can try one more time with
their mom and dad by kids’ self-leading without time and space limitation. Also
home is very friendly and comfortable place for children so they can create
more powerful things. They can share what is different between the class and
their own activity and sharing these can be good point of developing
creativity.
I was only
focused on ‘during activity’ but I found a pain point in ‘after’ area. Finding
this pain point was turning point of my project.
I can also
design how users can approach this services. Service provider will be the
cooking class.

fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration, imagination, sensitivity

factors of developing creativity
