Values-based design is an approach to HCI that considers user values in the design process

There is a growing awareness of the importance of considering values ​​when designing technology. There are several research approaches that focus on this, such as B. Value-Responsive Design, Value-Centered Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Valued Participatory Design, just to name a few. Less attention has been paid to the development of teaching materials, however, as values ​​in HCI play a role in why practical teaching activities are not enough, and in particular teaching activities that cover the entire design process.In this article, we argue that teaching ethics and values ​​in HCI is not only important in parts of the design and development process, but is equally important throughout the process. We demonstrate this through a unique collection of 28 challenges identified during the design process. , accompanied by inspiring suggestions for classroom activities to meet these challenges. The article is based on the results of applying a modified pedagogical design pattern approach to the iterative development of an open educational resource containing teaching and assessment activities and a pedagogical framework, and pilot experiments. Preliminary results of piloting parts of the teaching activities indicate that the participating students experience the acquisition of knowledge on how to understand human values ​​in design and how to act ethically, and the teachers experience an increased ability to translate values ​​in design in a relevant and innovative way way to mediate way. Hopefully, this overview of the challenges and inspiring values-based teaching activities in technology design can be a way to inspire teachers to sensitize their students and better prepare them to become responsible designers by learning how to address and work with values ​​in HCI.
