Amy M. Burns presents the approach of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in the elementary music classroom. The PBL approach focuses on the students learning the skills of research and problem-solving by answering essential questions over a period of time. Burns and Cherie Herring contributed to the PBL activities. In addition, they also address the process of Design Thinking, where students problem-solve solutions using the method of empathizing, defining, ideating, creating a prototype, testing, and going through the process again to redefine and improve. Burns and Herring demonstrate how PBL and DT can span across the curriculum, while still keeping music at the core of the learning process in the music classroom. The projects are versatile and can be used in young to older elementary classrooms from one device in the classroom to a 1:1 classroom.

This study explores the differentiated properties of service design in the context of the final value pursued by this methodology, avoiding the interpretation of pending issues to which service design is applied. First, the following were identified as the core properties of service design, differentiated from other design methodologies: “Design Thinking”, a creative problem-solving process; “User Experience Value”, the pursued goal; “Participatory Design”, a practical research methodology; and “Interaction between Users and Providers”, the core research scope of pending issues. Second, the study proposed a six-step service design process model based on the interrelationships between these properties. The “problem recognition” step identified a decline in the quality of user experiences and forms a self-awareness of dissatisfaction. Next, the “problem understanding” step conducts multidisciplinary cooperative research on dissatisfaction. Subsequently, the “problem deduction” step determines users’ unsatisfied desires through visualization of the core pending issues, and the “problem definition” step performs creative conception activities with problem-solving approaches for the unsatisfied desires. Further, the “problem-solving” step develops service design models, and finally, the “problem-solving strategy check” step confirms the utility of the models in a real-world application.

In the 21st century design thinking or problem-solving methodology has obtained a wide response in product development and service provision. It is a way of thinking which takes us to changes. Currently, in Latvia the schools which implement vocational secondary education art and design education programmes and also vocational orientation education programmes in art and design area have obtained the broadest experience in design acquisition. Taking into account the significance of problem-solving in learners’ development, design has been included in the comprehensive education content. Teachers need a new skill – to organize the design process so that their pupils would acquire problem-solving skills in a practical action. How have the teachers organized the design process? What learning methods have been applied? How is the design thinking developed? Goal analyse theoretical knowledge in design thinking and teachers’ experience of learning technologies in design acquisition which has been acquired in art education of vocational orientation. The Latvian National Culture Centre has compiled the experience of art teachers in methodological material “No Tēla līdz dizainam. Putns” (“From Image to Design. Bird”), it can look at 24 individual or pedagogical workgroup design process methodology for primary school pupils. Using designer IDEO group 3 I model – Inspiration, Ideation, Implementation, in the methodological material, development of design thinking has been described with 10 different techniques. The author’s analysis conveys the possible competences, what knowledge and skills pupils acquire in the design process, what techniques and methods the teacher applies in the learning process in design acquisition. The methodological material used in the research is one of the first for elementary school pupils’ design thinking development in Latvia, it enables us to identify problems and needs for school teachers.

The the need for greater participation and motivation of university students in the teaching-learning process has led to the concept of project-based learning. By using this methodology, the student works individually and in groups independently, but under the guidance of the teacher. Furthermore, this methodology allows the acquisition of transversal skills with a high level of mastery in subjects of the last year of undergraduate and master degrees. The objective of this work is the design and application of the project-based learning methodology in the subjects of Bioelectronics and Modeling and simulation of bioelectric systems that is capable of integrating the transversal competences "Design and project" (CT05), "Effective communication ”(CT08),“Understanding and integration ”(CT01),“ Analysis and problem solving ”(CT03),“Innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship ”(CT04) and“ Critical thinking ”(CT09), with high levels of mastery. This methodology has been applied throughout the 2019-2020 academic year in these subjects belonging to the Degree in Industrial Electronic and Automatic Engineering and the Master of Biomedical Engineering, respectively, from the Universitat Politècnica de València. The assessment of the students has been very positive and the acquisition of transversal skills has been very satisfactory.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a model of learning and ekoliteration on the ability to solve environmental problems. This research used experimental method 2 X 2 factorial design. This study was conducted in February - March 2018. The population in this study were all students of class X SMA Negeri 13 Kabupaten Tangerang which amounted to 176 respondents. The sample in this research is 44 respondents randomly simpling. The conclusion showed that there was no significant interaction between learning model and ekoliteration on the ability of problem solving environment of learners; there is one significant problem between learners that is significant between learners whose learning processes use project-based learning and problem-based learning; no one is able to solve the non-significant environmental problems of learners between learners who have high and low ecoliteration; for groups of learners who have high ecoliteration, there are no factors capable of solving environmental problems that are carried out using learning based on project-based learning (A1B1) and problem-based learning (A2B1); for groups of learners who have low ecoliteration, there are no effective differences in environmental problems of learners whose learning process uses project-based learning (A1B2) and problem-based learning (A2B2)

Librarians and graphic designers have a lot in common. Both are information professionals that offer means or cues to help users navigate, understand and solve a problem within a certain space. Without the librarian, the library space itself becomes the interface where users are offered signage to problem-solve intuitively. Because of this, effective communication via signage and wayfinding becomes imperative to the library user experience. By empathizing with our patrons and clearly articulating what the problem is, it is possible to anticipate user needs, address them by utilizing the design-thinking process, and prototype solutions like a graphic designer. However, this is not a permanent, one-time process, and it will need to be repeated whenever the needs of the patrons evolve and new problems emerge.

This chapter describes results from a student-driven partnership between York College of Pennsylvania and governmental/non-governmental health agencies in Liberia. Presented as two parallel case studies, and narrating research processes and outcomes of the project, it argues that by combining the empathy techniques of “human-centered design” (commonly known as Design Thinking) with principles of project-based learning, this people-centered method can produce richer global experiences for students. This method can also produce qualitative data that is useful for intercultural problem-solving, and therefore can inform ongoing and productive partnerships that employ a human-centered approach to interdisciplinary collaboration.

In spite of the fact that critical thinking is a vital skill not only during studying at university but in everyday life either, students are often unprepared for critically thinking when they start their studies. That is why it is so necessary to explain how to use practical strategies for developing these skills for a successful academic life. First of all, teachers should always bear in mind Bloom’s Taxonomy as it helps them to find the correct way for teaching showing the nearest and the furthest goals in their work. The levels start from the simplest and go to the most complicated ones showing that no one can acquire a higher level without mastering the lower ones and that their acquiring is necessary for bringing up critically thinking students. Creating a culture of inquiry is constant work which grows problem-solving learners with deeper understanding of important knowledge. Being convinced that a significant tool for creating a culture of inquiry is essential questions that drive and motivate learning, the authors have designed some recommendations that can encourage inquiry-based learning process and involve students in it. As inquiry-based learning elevates students’ autonomy and collaboration, and helps to create a culture focused on researching rather than reproducing information, the authors consider that teachers should focus on question formulation technique. Besides, four phases of inquiry-based learning have been distinguished and described in details.
