Özet
This paper is a part of a larger study that discusses and explains the design, implementation and evaluation process of a 14 week face-to-face elective course on Storigami for the child development departments. In this study, the design process of the course is explained as the first phase of the project. The creation of the course is based on a student-centred approach to promote conceptual understanding of the undergraduate students (Hansen, E. J. 2011). Idea-based learning: A course design process to promote conceptual understanding. Routledge.). The planning and the content of the course are constructed upon the needs of the 21st century higher education and professional life. An integrated course design process and model (Fink, L. D. (2013). Creating significant learning experiences: An integrated approach to designing college courses. John Wiley & Sons.) was employed. There are three phases to this course design process, namely: initial design phase, intermediate design and final design phase. At the end of the study, a course and syllabus designed in line with this model involving course structure, course content, weekly readings, tasks, assignments and assessment for a 14 week semester.
