Design thinking

What is design thinking? Design thinking is a method of creative thinking to solve problems, also  known as human-centered design. Design thinking as a skill of the teacher and given that design  thinking is an approach for creative thinking and problem-solving centered around humans, thinking  through design forms part of the participations and deep social structures. Its roots lie in the depths  of mindsets and creative processes aimed at creating opportunities for understanding others and  developing innovative solutions to meet their needs. Through training in thinking about design, he  will have the skill to generate questions, and motivate students to do so, in this case the teacher  becomes a major change maker in the educational process, one of the most important skills that the  teacher will need is thinking through design, which is a method of creative thinking and problem  solving, and therefore The design thinking skill was the skills compatible with student-based  learning, which the teacher needs in order to develop students' learning faculties, because the  teacher thinks as a designer and not just a teacher planning the lesson, the difference here is that he  is trying to start from steps that start with feeling the problem and then generating ideas Help me to  implement the learning process interesting and effective. The Design Thinking Kit for Teachers,  which aims to tailor 2 the process to suit teachers specifically, consists of five stages: Discovery,  Interpretation, Innovation, Experimentation, and Development which are similar to the stages of  generating questions and discovering solutions, installation and experimentation, Thinking with  design also helps the teacher to face the challenges that he meets in the learning environment, in  this case he can look at the available environment to create an enabling environment for the learner  to achieve the possible benefit

Reflection - Learning Launch Challenge: The first tool I used was the tool of Visualization, or Visual  Thinking, to achieve a shared understanding of a problem space among a diverse group of  stakeholders before attempting to identify and define possible solutions to the problem. I use this  approach often with our customers, who are government agencies working to apply technology  innovations to modernize their mission or the delivery of their services to their customer, which may  be U.S. citizens, businesses, and non-citizens. I have used the technique of using a straw man  visualization of a problem domain with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a  diverse group of stakeholders to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope,  boundaries, key elements, and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain  points and opportunities for improvements or solutions.  In my organization, which is a real-estate  developer, we use to participate in different trade shows and exhibitions through the year and in  different locations, we have a third party service provider who is in charge of installing the stand  depending on the nature of the trade show and the theme after getting the approval from us. While  closing the last year statistics number of events and the business leads generated from each event  the numbers went down comparing to the previous years without a significant reason as the surveys  done after the events have not shown the reasons.

nature of the trade show and the theme after getting the approval from us. While closing the last  year statistics number of events and the business leads generated from each event the numbers  went down comparing to the previous years without a significant reason as the surveys done after  the events have not shown the reasons.

Application

The application of this process started with jotting down the main word - Academics. Followed by  subheadings such as students, lockdown, pandemic, homework, Netflix and so on. I then started  ideating and noted these ideas down in the mind map under these subheadings. For example: A  feature introduced to Netflix that sets the daily time limit on the students’ consumption, incentives  given by parents on successful completion of the task (homework), etc. The process led to many  ideas, some which were great and would work well, some which were not so great and might not  work that well. But it made it easier to ideate as all words were there on a single sheet of paper. As  each group reports out, I record commonalities in the insights of each group, and then additional  insights that come from the group discussion on an additional copy of the graphic. After the session,  I digitize each group’s poster as an artifact, create a view that combines the shared and new insights  from the group discussion, and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and  proposed changes that they agreed to as a group.

Insight

This insight  got from applying this tool, shows how valuable and adding value to find solution to the  challenge and saving time and money also leading to a considerable results if used properly with all  the available data and looking form the missing data too and the method really helped me. I am a  design student and I feel this is something I would use very often not only in my academic and  professional life, but also in my personal life too. This method I can be used to generate so many  ideas at once, it doesn’t really take all that much time and is very quick. It is also a very fun activity to  do and helps one think in so many new directions. The next time I would like to definitely select a  new tool. This is because I would like to explore the other methods as well. I think it would be  something fun and something so helpful to do. Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is  the shared insights and learning, next time I would use the visualization activity as a starting point  for a series of design thinking activities. Then the revised graphic that incorporates their combined  feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the remainder of their work.

Approach

I would use the Learning Launch in the future after monitoring the events data and keeping this  exercise as a reference to be used for other departments and colleagues who are using the design  thinking to face their challenges
