Description

Patricia A. Young's framework guides instructional designers and researchers through managing, designing, developing, and assessing culture-based ICTs using explicit cultural considerations.

Components

• Twenty-five elements of culture as design factors, treated from anthropological, psychological, and scientific perspectives: CBM's Elements component is a taxonomy of culture for design, explicated "from an anthropological point of view, a psychological point of view, and a scientific point of view." The foreword states that "Twenty-five elements of culture are described and explained with examples from throughout the world," and notes these "are not elements that designers typically address." Examples include conceptions of what is beautiful, class and status, non-verbal communication traditions, behavior norms, emotional patterns, orientations toward time, and conceptions of intimate, personal, social and public space. Each element carries guiding questions for gathering culture data. (Patricia A. Young (2009))
