Torstein Bolstad; Anders Strømberg; Sven Amberg; Ida Bjørnevik – International Journal for Students as Partners, 2024
This case study describes and discusses how student-faculty partnerships can be strengthened through design thinking and the establishment of shared ignorance, i.e., an awareness of how none of the involved parties understands the problem or knows the optimum solution of the partnership project. As a case, we use a student-faculty project that…

Bo Kelestyn; Jess Humphreys – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2025
Institutional approaches to co-creation are shifting away from directive methods to more active and participatory design approaches. New tools for problem solving such as design thinking are becoming increasingly popular in universities. Leveraged incorrectly, they often risk excluding parts of the community. Effective implementation requires more…

Cem Özkan; Salih Çepni; Nazerke Maratkyzy; Tülin Vural Arslan; Selen Durak – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2024
Considering the structural similarities between STEM education and architectural education, it is thought that architectural education, which has a deep-rooted history, may be useful for improving STEM education. This research was planned to gain useful inferences for STEM education by trying to get to know architectural education. In this study,…

Dionne, Kim Yi – Journal of Political Science Education, 2023
This paper describes a relatively new active learning approach--Design Thinking--and its adoption in two comparative politics courses. I draw on my experience using Design Thinking in political science courses to offer instructors another pedagogical tool in the active learning toolkit. I outline the rationale for adopting a Design Thinking…

Lake, Danielle; Flannery, Kathleen; Kearns, Morgan – Innovative Higher Education, 2021
This mixed method study investigated design thinking (DT) practices and outcomes from across disciplinary frameworks within one institution of higher education. Building upon prior DT studies, it examined three interlocking research questions: What DT practices are being implemented across the curriculum? What kinds of outcomes do faculty observe?…

Rees Lewis, Daniel G.; Gerber, Elizabeth M.; Carlson, Spencer E.; Easterday, Matthew W. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2019
Authentic project-based learning (APBL) is a highly effective way for instructors to help students learn disciplinary skills, modes of thinking, and collaborative practices by creating solutions to real-world problems for real users and clients. While educational technology innovations can bolster APBL by making a promising but challenging…

Sherman, Derek; Parupudi, Tejasvi; Mentzer, Nathan; Chesley, Amelia; Laux, Dawn; Baniya, Sweta – Journal of Technology Education, 2020
This study looks at Purdue University's Integrated First-Year Experience of Design Thinking in Technology, Fundamentals of Speech Communication, and First-Year Composition and its effects on oral communication. We examined whether this three-course integration inspired by writing-across-the-curriculum and communication-across-the-curriculum would…

Eby, Kimberley K.; Lukes, Laura A. – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2017
Through active learning classrooms (ALCs), faculty can rethink and redesign their courses to include more inquiry-driven activities and experiences for students. This case study describes one large public institution's evidence-based and iterative design process for new and redesigned learning spaces. Critical elements include a cross-campus…

Hennessey, Eden; Mueller, Julie – Canadian Journal of Education, 2020
As a problem-solving approach, design thinking (DT) emphasizes iterative, user-focused designing. While DT is being readily adopted into education, little is known about how educators integrate DT across curricula. To address this question, we collaborated with a tech-ed industry partner and a focus group of experienced educators to assess…

Novotny, Kristin – Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Education, 2019
This article considers the epistemological consequences of interdisciplinary, collaborative pedagogy through the lens of a practitioner whose goal is to theorize and contextualize her practice. The author traces connections between interdisciplinary pedagogy and the idea of Making or makerspaces. Giving in-depth examples of interdisciplinary,…

Tietjen, Phil; Choi, Ko Un; Ozkan-Bekiroglu, Saliha; McDonald, Scott B. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Mobile learning initiatives (e.g., Bring-Your-Own-Device) have generated increasing attention to the physical design of Active Learning Spaces (ALS). Yet, the role of physical space in shaping pedagogical practice remains under-theorized. Sociomaterial perspectives such as Actor-Network theory offer promising potential for examining this area as…
