Abstract
This is a story of discovery and renewal in my approach to teaching, learning and research. The research is a product of insights gained through the holistic theories of cognition offered by enactivism and complexity thinking. Some of the more established learning theories have clarified areas of concern I encountered in interpreting the data. Among my aspirations for the education of fourth year design graduates are those that tend toward transformational learning, critical learning and lifelong learning. As such, I undertook this research in an attempt to understand the kind of learning environment that would best support creativity, and the self-development of a designer in their fourth year.
