Design Thinking in Pedagogy

Open access

Abstract

The twenty-first century has brought lots of challenges for people in all spheres, including education. In the new context, traditional approaches often seem ineffective and therefore new tools and methods have to be applied. An alternative approach that might be useful in the given context is design thinking – the approach that originated in architecture, design and art, and nowadays is applied in many fields. It is a human-centered problem-solving approach that may be used in the teaching/learning process to develop twenty-first century skills and enhance creativity and innovation. This paper introduces readers to the origin of design thinking, its attributes and processes as well as its application in pedagogy.

  • DT is widely recognized for its human-centered and creative problem-solving methodology.

    “It is widely recognized for its human-centered and creative problemsolving methodology (Leary et al., 2022;Luka, 2014).”

    From A meta-analysis to explore the role of design thinking in enhancing creativity as learning outcomes in STEM education (2026) · cites this paper as Luka, 2014

    The available text under “Design Thinking Processes” contains only a heading and figure markers; “Implications for Pedagogy” contains mostly reference titles. Searches for “human-centered” and “creative problem solving” found no passage stating the attributed characterization. The available copy does not provide enough substantive text to verify it.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
