디자인 씽킹 프로세스를 적용한 디자인 프로젝트 수업 모형연구

Abstract

In order to lay the theoretical foundation for a systematic education program on the social responsibility and role of design, this study developed a teaching model that applied a project-based design thinking process for solving human-centered social problems to the “Design and Ethics” course, which is a basic major class in the Department of Design at a four-year university in Gyeonggi-do. The project teaching method consisted of five stages: frame a question, gather inspiration, generate ideas, prototype, test to learn, and improvement of the design thinking process. The results of the class showed positive learning satisfaction in terms of learning comprehension, creative thinking, and problem-solving ability, and it was an opportunity to experience a human-centered problem-solving process. The systematic curriculum on the social responsibility and role of design was organized to effectively utilize specialized technology as a means for solving human social problems, and it is significant in that it met the demand for education of the times, which includes sharing various perspectives through team project classes and cultivating a new creative problemsolving skills. In the future, it is hoped that it will develop into a practical social design education program by linking it with multidisciplinary convergence, government agencies, private companies, and social enterprises.
