Abstract
Design education faces challenges due to rapid technological and societal changes. As we move towards modern professional education, important values such as guidance, experience sharing, and cultivating craftsmanship are being lost. This study proposes an innovative design apprenticeship model that combines traditional apprenticeship with modern education to improve quality and cultivate innovative designers with strong technical skills. The research methods include literature review and case application and analysis. Through literature review, key elements of traditional apprenticeship inheritance are integrated into the innovative design apprenticeship model, which is then applied and explored in teaching practice. This model emphasizes improving students' practical and problem-solving skills. Key factors are: 1) personalized guidance to foster interaction and collaboration between teachers and students; 2) guide students with projects to enhance the inheritance of practical experience; 3) introduce exclusive industry mentor collaborative teaching to enhance knowledge and experience transfer. The study proposes that implementing an innovative design apprenticeship model can be a productive method to improve design education. This model promotes interaction and cooperation between teachers and students, allowing students to better develop skills with personalized guidance. By collaborating with industry mentors to enhance students’ practical skills and fill the knowledge gaps that come with learning from one teacher alone. In summary, the results of this study provide an effective apprenticeship education model, demonstrating the significant application value of apprenticeship education in the field of design education. The research results have important social significance and academic value for improving the teaching quality of design education.
