■Abstract
This study discovered that Indonesian master craftsmen's conceptual process is highly influenced by Typical mindsets of Object-attribute that underlines Rationale and Mastery that thus stimulate a pragmatic perspective. We observed that traditional design education is difficult to be conceived by individuals with conservative viewpoint. Consequently, we make a model of the design training that fits with their conventional mindsets. This model utilizes traditional craftsman's previous knowledge at extraordinary levels in order for them further experiencing dialectical-beliefs of new thoughts.To further develop this model we investigate their knowledge acquisition of mindset during conceptual process.

■Comment
It is our great honor that our collaborative research has been prized as the best paper of KICSS Best Paper Award. I am very proud that I got a degree at School of Knowledge Science. I would express my deepest appreciation to Nagai sensei and JAIST.　We will develop our study of design creativity in future.
Deny Willy Junaidy.
