Abstract

This presentation shares the findings of research study that explored ways in which the use of design thinking might contribute to innovations in teaching and learning approaches in a range of different subject areas. Funded by a UWE Pedagogic Projects Grant, the project used a constructive design approach to work collaboratively with students as research co-designers. The study explored concepts and practices derived from design thinking models and processes, testing a variety of tools and techniques in a range of contexts. The study produced a range of insights about potential benefits and challenges of working pedagogically with design thinking methodologies.
