abstract = {How are we currently teaching design research? How can we do 

it better? How are educators fostering students' development 

of "instrumental judgment"? This activity group encourages 

participants to explore the ways that educators teach 

research-through-making and research-informed making at 

multiple curricular levels. For example, students seeking 

advanced degrees in design are grappling with "rigor" and 

"distinction," learning how these characteristics of 

research are defined and understood in other disciplines as 

well as in relation to creative practice. Meanwhile, educators 

at K-12 and undergraduate levels struggle to incorporate 

creative inquiry processes in meaningful ways, grasping for 

resources and leaning on others' "design thinking" 

approaches.},
