Design Thinking in Student Affairs A Primer

Design Thinking in Student Affairs A Primer

Design thinking is an innovative problem-solving framework. This introduction is the first book to apply its methodology to student affairs and in doing so points the way to its potentially wider value to higher education as a whole. With its focus on empathy which is the need to thoroughly understand users’ experiences design thinking is user-centered similar to how student affairs is student-centered. Because the focus of design thinking is to design with users not for users it aligns well with student affairs practice. In addition its focus on empathy makes design thinking a more equitable approach to problem-solving than other methods because all users’ experiences—not just the experiences of majority or “average” student—need to be understood. Centering empathy in problem-solving processes can be a tool to disrupt higher education systems and practices. Design thinking is a framework to foster innovation and by its nature innovation is about responding to change factors with creativity. In an organization design thinking is inherently connected to organizational change and culture because the process is really about changing people to help them rally around a disruptive idea. Implementing design thinking on a campus may in itself be disruptive and require a change management process. The beauty of using design thinking is that it can also act as a framework to support organizational culture change. Design thinking approaches with their focus on stakeholder needs (as opposed to systemic norms) collaborative solutions building and structured empathy activities can offer a concrete tool to disrupt harmful systems of power and oppression. Design thinking as a process is not a magic solution to equity problems though it can be a powerful tool to approach the development of solutions that can address inequity. Design thinking is data-driven and considers both qualitative and quantitative data as necessary to gain most complete picture of an issue and its possible solutions whether a product program or service. Design thinking has numerous benefits to afford students affairs. Chapter 1 outlines a case for design thinking in student affairs. Chapter 2 discusses a brief history of design thinking noting its germination and evolution to current practice. Chapter 3 provides a detailed description of each step of the design thinking model with pertinent examples to make the steps clearer. Chapter 4 explains the intersection of equity and design thinking while chapter 5 explores the use of design thinking for organizational change. Chapter 6 presents a new model for design thinking assessment. Chapter 7 addresses the challenges and limitations of the process. Chapter 8 concludes the book by discussing the alignment of design thinking and student affairs and outlining next steps. Design thinking is an innovative process that can change the way higher education and student affairs operates realizing the potential it offers. | Design Thinking in Student Affairs A Primer

Design Thinking in Technical Communication Solving Problems through Making and Collaboration

This book explicates the relationships between design thinking critical making and socially responsive technical communication. It leverages the recent technology-powered DIY culture called the Maker Movement to identify how citizen innovation can inform cutting-edge social innovation that advocates for equitable change and progress on today’s wicked problems. After offering a succinct account of the origin and recent history of design thinking along with its connections to the design paradigm in writing studies the book analyzes maker culture and its influences on innovation and education through an ethnographic study of three academic makerspaces. It offers opportunities to cultivate a sense of critical changemaking in technical communication students and practitioners showcasing examples of socially responsive innovation and expert interviews that urge a disciplinary attention to social justice advocacy and an embrace of the design-thinking principle of radical collaboration. The value of design thinking methodologies for teaching and practicing socially responsible technical communication are demonstrated as the author argues for a future in the field that sees its constituents as leaders in radical innovation to solve wicked social problems. This book is essential reading for instructors students and practitioners of technical communication and can be used as a supplemental text for graduate and undergraduate courses in usability and user-centered design and research. | Design Thinking in Technical Communication Solving Problems through Making and Collaboration

Thinking about the Teaching of Thinking The Feuerstein Approach

Thinking about the Teaching of Thinking The Feuerstein Approach

Thinking about the Teaching of Thinking provides an accessible and comprehensive introduction to Feuerstein’s theory of Mediated Learning Experience and its related tools and programmes. It details up-to-date international and New Zealand research on the Feuerstein approach which reflects the current issues in the teaching of thinking. The book begins by defining what is meant by the teaching of thinking and provides an easy to understand explanation of the Feuerstein method and its value for children with learning challenges. It champions a ‘whole school’ approach to the teaching of thinking and details the practical tools and programmes developed by Feuerstein – such as Instrumental Enrichment and the Learning Propensity Assessment Device – to aid in its implementation. It also recognises the key importance of cultural factors in the teaching of thinking bringing together the author’s considerable research experience using the Feuerstein method in the multicultural New Zealand context with her extensive knowledge of international Feuerstein research. This book provides a user-friendly and unique coverage of the Feuerstein method for researchers and postgraduate students researching and working in educational psychology. It will also be of great value for teachers and parents looking to understand and decide on implementation of the Feuerstein approach in their schools. | Thinking about the Teaching of Thinking The Feuerstein Approach

Designing with Society A Capabilities Approach to Design Systems Thinking and Social Innovation

This book explores an emerging design culture that rigorously applies systems thinking to the practice of design as a form of facilitating change on an increasingly crowded planet. Designers conversant in topics such as living systems cultural competence social justice and power asymmetries can contribute their creative skills to the world of social innovation to help address the complex social challenges of the 21st century. By establishing a foundation built on the capabilities approach to human development designers have an opportunity to transcend previous disciplinary constraints and redefine our understanding of design agency. With an emphasis on developing an adaptability to dynamic situations the cultivation of diversity and an insistence on human dignity this book weaves together theories and practices from diverse fields of thought and action to provide designers with a concrete yet flexible set of actionable design principles. And with the aim of equipping designers with the ability to drive long-term sustainable change it proposes a new set of design competences that emphasize a deeper mindfulness of our interdependence; with each other and with our life-giving natural systems. It’s a call to action to use design and design thinking as a tool to transform our collective worldviews toward an appreciation for what we all hold in common; a hope and a belief that our future is a place where all of humankind will flourish. | Designing with Society A Capabilities Approach to Design Systems Thinking and Social Innovation

Infusing Critical Thinking Into Your Course A Concrete Practical Approach

Critical thinking—every scholar in the literature has defined it but there is no clearly agreed upon definition. No wonder polls and surveys reveal that few college-level faculty can define critical thinking or know how to teach it. Still critical thinking keeps appearing in accreditation standards and surveys of the skills employers seek in college graduates. The good news is that we do know that critical thinking can be taught. But the concept cries out for the simplification translation into discipline-relevant course outcomes tangible teaching strategies and concrete assessment techniques that this book will provide. Like a course or a workshop this book proposes learning outcomes for the reader—promises of what the reader will be able to do after reading it. These include:• explain what critical thinking is in simple terms;• convincingly explain to students why it is important for them to learn critical thinking and if they tune out what they stand to lose;• overcome the challenges that teaching critical thinking presents;• identify the type of course content to which critical thinking can be applied and therefore that readers can use to teach critical thinking;• integrate critical thinking into the design of a new or existing course in any discipline;• write assessable critical thinking learning outcomes that are compatible with and make sense in any discipline;• select and adapt activities and assignments that will give students no- or low-stakes practice with feedback in critical thinking using a variety of questions tasks and teaching methods. | Infusing Critical Thinking Into Your Course A Concrete Practical Approach
