This topic applies a Design-Thinking approach to the development and evaluation of programs or services for a targeted group of children or young people. Participants in this topic will engage with this approach to design a tailored program for selected students within their own site or educational context. Because students and their educational settings are diverse, the human-centred nature of design-thinking enables the development of bespoke solutions to the problem of how to most effectively meet their needs. Evaluation is inbuilt within this approach, so students will consider not only the design of a program but also its evaluation. Critical review of and reflection on the research literature will enable deep understanding of the nature of Design-thinking and its application to a range of educational contexts.

This topic aims to:

Develop deep knowledge of the theoretical foundations of Design Thinking and an appreciation of its practical applications

Develop students’ critical, creative, caring and ethical thinking and problem-solving skills, collaboration and communication skills

Foster the development of creative confidence and learner dispositions that facilitate the Design Thinking process

Engage students in Design Thinking to develop their own bespoke program for a targeted group of learners in a particular context

Empower students with the knowledge, skills and understandings necessary for developing and evaluating educational programs and provisions for diverse students

On completion of this topic you will be expected to be able to:

Explain the theoretical and practical nature of Design Thinking

Apply the principles of Design Thinking to address a human-centred design problem

Investigate and analyse evidence to determine the needs of a targeted group of students in their selected setting

Design and evaluate a program, provision or intervention for a targeted group of students in their selected setting in response to an identified need

Critically reflect on the dispositions, knowledge and skills that facilitate the Design Thinking process

Evaluate the internal and external factors that facilitate the implementation of Design Thinking as a framework for program design and evaluation
