| Event Description: |
Teaching and learning practices are rapidly evolving, making it critical for university lecturers to develop capacities for lesson design. Amidst these volatile circumstances, it is often wondered if there are better ways of designing ‘good’ learning experiences. Design Thinking is gaining traction in educational institutions as an approach for creative problem-solving and it is suggested that Design Thinking can provide fresh approaches for better educational design.
This session juxtaposes Design Thinking processes against traditional lesson design processes, and explores the challenges and tensions arising from a more ‘designerly’ approach to lesson design. Drawing from her research conducted in South-East Asia and New Zealand, the speaker presents plausible ways for lecturers to apply Design Thinking as part of lesson planning, and how they could develop the competencies and dispositions to be strong design thinkers.
