A Case Study on the Development of Pre-Service Teachers’ Design Thinking

Abstract

This study aimed to understand the learning effect of design thinking activities of college students in an undergraduate class. The results showed that after experiencing the design thinking activities, the participants successfully created their course product (i.e., online learning courses in the prototype form) through online discussion, reflection and peer feedback under the guidance of knowledge-building pedagogy. It is also found that students had a slightly improved gain in terms of technological pedagogical content knowledge & technology- integrated design knowledge and their design belief of teachers.
