HCD in K-12 Education
HCD in K12 Education
The purpose of research studies under this area is to:
- Investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of introducing HCD in K-12 educational settings
- Assess the impact of HCD integration on students’ interests and overall learning outcomes in K-12 classrooms.
- Develop age-appropriate HCD frameworks, tools, and resources for educators to incorporate HCD into K-12 curricula and teaching methods
