Learning and teaching the art of sound design: An analysis into determining best practices

(2017) Learning and teaching the art of sound design: An analysis into determining best practices. Masters by Research thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

The aim of this study was to investigate the learning and teaching of sound design in higher education contexts. Two main aspects were examined: firstly, an investigation into published resources, addressing sound design as creative practice, and, secondly, an examination of the relationship between technical process and creative skills development within curriculum design. The perceived educational benefits were also investigated, of collaborative projects and other practical exercises, contrasting them with technical, skills-based learning. Finally, the study suggests avenues for future development that may provide better access to reference materials that support sound design students' development as creative, industry ready practitioners.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
