Effect of design thinking approach on students’ achievement in some selected physics concepts in the context of STEM learning

Simeon et al. (2020) emphasized that DT's constructivist environment enhances understanding of STEM subjects like physics.

“Simeon et al. (2020) further emphasized how DT's constructivist environment, which builds real-life experiences, enhances understanding of STEM subjects like physics (Simeon et al., 2020).”

Research by Yalçın (2021) and Simeon et al. (2020) demonstrated that DT positively influences creative thinking among students.

“Research by Yalçın (2021) and Simeon et al. (2020) demonstrated that DT positively influences creative thinking among students (Simeon et al., 2020;Yalçın, 2021).”

Medium-duration DT programs also boosted creative self-efficacy and STEM interest.

“Medium-duration DT program also boosted creative self-efficacy and STEM interest (Fan & Yu, 2017;Simeon et al., 2020)”

Design thinking also boosted creative self-efficacy and STEM interest among students.

“also boosted creative self-efficacy and STEM interest (Fan & Yu, 2017;Simeon et al., 2020) as students took more responsibility for their learning and were more inclined to pursue.”

The effect sizes ranged from low d = 0.001 to high d = 2.7789.

“The ES values ranged from low (d = 0.001) (Kim et al., 2022) to high (d = 2.7789) (Simeon et al., 2020).”
