Digitizing creativity evaluation in design education: a systematic literature review

Evaluation in Design education is subjective and generally depends upon the pedagogues' personal perspective. Conducting subjective evaluation on a large scale is associated with multiple challenges; therefore, digitized evaluation is integral to maintain consistency in the evaluation process. This systematic literature review utilized SCOPUS, Web of Science, JSTOR, ScienceDirect (Elsevier), EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar data repositories to retrieve and analyse available literature on digitizing creativity evaluation in Design education. This review intends to provide the researcher community with multiple aspects of digitized creativity evaluation from 2008 to 2021 in Design education. This paper highlights digitized creativity evaluation in the context of Design education, factors of digitized creativity evaluation, research purposes, methods, results, findings, and limitations of this review. Significant findings indicate that most literature studies suggested factors of creativity evaluation, but hardly any studies have highlighted indicators associated with digitizing creativity evaluation. In addition, many articles focused on generalised digitization approaches; however, only a few studies highlighted integrating digitization with creativity evaluation. Moreover, few studies enlightened the difference in factors and techniques associated with evaluation in different Design educational settings, such as classrooms, design studios, mass examinations, etc. Future research may investigate factors and problem-solving techniques of digitized creativity evaluation in Design education from the aspect of multiple educational settings and self-adapting intelligent models that might migrate from one setting to another on demand.
