When users interact with an interactive product to achieve goals, their knowledge is utilized, accumulated and generated, continuously modifying their mental models of the product. This process can be considered the users’ learning process of the product. The goal of this paper is to investigate the relevant theories and methods in order to frame the Learning-Based Approach (LBA). By identifying users' knowledge process in a more structured way, this research aims to help designers develop interactive products that can support users' knowledge utilization and generation. The survey encompasses theories and methods from three different research areas: Cognitive Science, which provides the foundation of the basic concepts in a human cognitive process, and Human-Computer Interaction and Artificial Intelligence, which account for the Cognitive Science theories in more applicable ways. Although the previous works provide useful insights on the process of learning through user-product interaction, there is little research on systematic methodologies by which designers can effectively incorporate users’ learning process into design practice. The LBA proposed by this study involves the conceptualization of learning processes, the implementation through knowledge representation, and the validation of this methodology. By doing so, designs adopting the LBA will be able to provide users with easier and richer experiences in using interactive products.

학술영역의 확대 발전에 따른 다학제적 융복합 학술연구를 통한 시대적 소명을 다함이 21세기 학회 활동의 주요한 키이워드가 되고 있다. 이에 본 학회는 21세기가 요구하는 국내외 디자인 전 분야에 관한 국제교류, 학술 연구활동, 창작활동, 대정부 정책 건의 등의 시대적 소명을 다하고 대한민국 대표 디자인학회로의 재 도약을 위해 가일층 노력하는 학술단체가 되고자 설립되었다.
