Abstract: The creative process has long been interwoven with art education practice. Design thinking has numerous parallels to the creative process and may be viewed as an appropriate method to encourage creative thinking in both art and design students. This observational case study reflects on two disparate challenges in which 47 students tackled aesthetic and community provocations by applying the design thinking process. Reflective consideration of the results of each ‘project’ provides insight into the application and value of a proposed Design Thinking framework in art and design education. Keywords: Creativity; Design thinking; Innovation; Community. Résumé : Il existe depuis toujours une sorte d’interaction entre le processus créatif et la pratique de l’enseignement des arts. Il y a de nombreux parallèles entre le processus créatif et la réflexion conceptuelle, cette dernière pouvant être perçue comme une méthode appropriée pour encourager la pensée créatrice chez les étudiant.e.s, aussi bien en art qu’en design. Cette étude de cas par observation s’articule autour de deux défis distincts dans le cadre desquels 47 étudiant.e.s ont dû gérer des impératifs esthétiques et communautaires en recourant à un processus de réflexion conceptuelle. L’analyse réflexive des résultats de chacun des « projets » offre un aperçu de la mise en œuvre et de la valeur d’un cadre potentiel de réflexion conceptuelle au regard des études artistiques et de design. Mots-clés : créativité, réflexion conceptuelle, innovation, communauté.

Waste is a modern global crisis. The world is drowning in an unprecedented amount of waste due to an increasing linear economy model that drive societies to consume more every day. It was reported that the average American citizen consume nearly 32 times more that the average Indian citizen. Companies, businesses, and corporates are continuously racing to deplete the planet’s natural resources in an astonishing rate. The design and construction sector alone is responsible for 30-40% of total solid waste worldwide, yet as architects, designers, and planners the waste problem is almost absent from the current discourse, both in practice and academia. Beyond sustainability, and if ideas such as the Dutch “CircularCity” become more appealing to architects, designers, and clients, the architectural education must adopt a transformational shift in the design thinking process to prepare a more responsible future architect. A shift from goal-oriented design to means-oriented design requires a shift in the design education, and the studio pedagogy. A transformation is needed in education, practice, research, and the related professions to address the current and emerging economic challenges more so post crises and pandemics, and through the built environment lens. It is time to define the role of architecture and design in the circular economy paradigm shift.

While clothing is produced and consumed rapidly, it strives to create appropriate forms and to create appropriate identities by giving correct messages; therefore, it is one of the most important fields requiring art and design education. The fashion design student, who forms the infrastructure with basic art education and figure drawing, not only transfers the imagination to the two-dimensional plane with the fashion drawing lesson but also transfers it to the two-dimensional plane; at the same time, he takes art and design education, which is aesthetic education, and feeds his visual vision and mind. In this research, the Fashion Drawing Lesson has been examined in detail in terms of determining the place, position, importance, processing and content of the Fashion Drawing Lesson in the official fashion design curriculum and a comprehensive literature search has been conducted; then the matter has been tried to be examined thanks to a link has been established between education, fashion, art and design disciplines. The course syllabus in Turkey and some of fashion design course programs in the world were examined; the experts providing fashion formal education and the students who received fashion formal education were interviewed face-to-face to obtain information first-hand. First of all, the study started by determining the fashion design undergraduate programs in the OSYM (Assessment Selection and Placement Center) placement guide and examining the course hours, course times and course contents of the fashion formal courses in these programs. The researcher visited the designated universities for the purpose of on-site observation and interview, and conducted semi-structured interview questions and face-to-face interviews with experts and students and recorded them. The transcribed interviews were analyzed using content analysis method and the findings were interpreted within the framework of the research questions. The findings were interpreted and discussed, and after the results were written, suggestions about the study were included. As a result, it has been determined that the admission of students to the fashion design program should be made with the combination of central examination system and talent exam suitable for fashion design education. It was seen that the time granted for the program was not sufficient in mean of implementation of the fashion drawing lessons properly in the fashion design education programs.

AbstractThis case study deals with a redesign effort to face the overcrowding issue in an Emergency Department (ED). A multidiscinary group of healthcare professionals and engineers worked together to improve the actual processes. We integrate the simulation modeling in a human-centered design method. We use the simulation technique as a learning and experimentation tool into a design thinking process: the computational descrete event simulation helps explore the possibile scenarios to be prototyped. We used the simulation to create a virtual prototyping environment, to help the group start a safe ideation and prototyping effort. Virtual prototyping injected into the organizational context the possibility of experimenting. It represented a cognitive low-risk environment where professionals could explore possible alternative solutions. Upon those solutions, we developed organizational prototyping tools. Top management and head physicians gained confidence for a more grounded decision making effort and important choices of change management and investments have been made.

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.

Online education is becoming the norm in higher education. Effective instructional design methods are required to ensure that “ever-connected” students’ needs are being met. One potential method is design thinking: an agile methodology that stresses the importance of empathy with the student. The #OpenTeach fully online course was designed using design thinking principles and delivered in Spring 2020. This article reports on a case study which focused on the use of design thinking to design and develop the #OpenTeach course. The five iterative stages of design thinking (empathy, define, ideate, prototype and test) were integrated into the design and development of the course materials. The findings of this study indicate that the use of the design thinking process may be used by instructional designers to achieve empathy with their learners, which will ensure learners successfully engage and achieve the learning objectives of the course. Implications for practice or policy: A rich case study of the successful integration of design thinking within the instructional design methodology of an online teacher education project is valuable to educationalists who wish to follow a user-cntred empathetic approach. Instructional designers should focus on empathising with their student cohort to successfully engage students in the content that has been designed, and developed, as part of an online course.
