Presenting a series of case studies and drawing on global experts in the field, this book investigates pedagogical approaches, disciplinary facilitation practice, curriculum integration, and a framework for understanding design thinking pedagogy within tertiary education.
This book highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and demonstrates that well-implemented design thinking pedagogy can help solve the world's most difficult 'wicked' problems. Drawing on expert perspectives and experience from the field, it provides a deeper conceptual understanding of how design thinking pedagogy crosses disciplinary constraints and education levels. The book is framed on research that places design thinking as the method and catalyst to create change in the tertiary education sector and to build interdisciplinary skill sets that are required for the graduate of the future. Case studies from world-leading design academics and industry practitioners feature throughout the book providing global examples of design thinking methods that have been established, taught, and created across tertiary education settings.
Focusing on how educational institutions can produce innovative graduates with the knowledge and understanding to cross disciplinary boundaries, this book will be essential reading for research students, academics and industry practitioners.
