ABSTRACT
Interest in studio forms of teaching and learning is growing outside the fields of design where it has traditionally been practiced, but studio can be challenging for those who have not previously taught in this mode or experienced it as a student. Instructors like these may be the majority of those either contemplating adaption of studio to their own courses, or facing the requirement to do so as programs shift focus. The editors of this volume saw the need to provide instructors who may be exploring studio pedagogy with a source for multiple and varied narratives describing studio courses and the experience of teaching them. Other readers who may find value in this volume include those with general interests in studio pedagogy, those studying this form of teaching and learning, and those studying design education.
