Teaching and Learning Design Thinking (DT): How Do Educators See DT Fitting into the Classroom?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
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…
