It starts with understanding the needs of the stakeholders (desirability) and brings the viability and feasibility aspects together (Alam 2019). It does not only look at benefits of a project (viability) and evaluate whether it is doable in a practical manner in a timely fashion or not (feasibility), but takes the needs of the end-users of paramount importance  DESIGN THINKING CONTINUED.. The importance of design thinking in problem-solving lies in its ability to produce innovative and user-centric solutions. By putting the user at the center of the design process, it ensures that the resulting solutions truly meet the needs of the people for whom they are intended. This user-centric approach can lead to more impactful and sustainable solutions, as well as improved user satisfaction and engagement. Additionally, the emphasis on iterative prototyping and testing helps to minimize the risk of implementing ineffective or poorly received solutions. Design Thinking is crucial in problem-solving for several reasons: User-Centric Approach: It puts the end-user at the center of the problem-solving process, ensuring solutions are relevant and effective. Encourages Innovation: By promoting creative thinking and multiple perspectives, it leads to more innovative solutions. Iterative Process: It allows for continuous improvement through testing and refinement. Tackles Complex Problems: It's particularly effective for addressing "wicked" or complex problems that don't have clear solutions. Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: It encourages diverse teams to work together, bringing varied expertise to the problem. Reduces Risk: By testing ideas early and often, it reduces the risk of implementing ineffective solutions.  Why DTP Design thinking is a process for creative problem solving. Generally, it guides innovators and researchers deal with complex challenges. Specifically, it helps to: a. develop and refine skills to understand and address rapid changes in users‘ environments and behaviors; b. encourages ―thinking outside the box‖; c. reduce the risk associated with launching new ideas, innovative products or optimized processes or services (IPOPS); d. generate solutions that are revolutionary, not just incremental; and e. learn and iterate faster.  1 2 3 3 Gather insights Build scrappy Turn problems Use research to by practicing prototypes to into questions understand the empathy, learn about past, present, observation, and unmet need and future interviewing 4 WAYS TO GET STARTED  Stages of DTP Emp a t hi z e Empathy is the ability to experience the feelings of Ho w c a n we h el p o ur c o mmun i ty? another person. It goes beyond sympathy, which is caring and understanding for the suffering of others. This stage involves immersing yourself in your end-users‘ or beneficiaries‘ experience to uncover deep needs and insights. You should gain an empathetic understanding of the problem you‘re trying to solve. This stage is the heart of DTP (Woolery n.d.).

This phase will give you an opportunity to synthesize your collected stories and insights from your end- users and come up with a problem statement, called a point of view (POV), that can help you reframe the problem and open new and innovative solution spaces (Woolery n.d.)

For instance, researchers can use Design Thinking to develop user personas, journey maps, and empathy maps to gain a deeper understanding of user needs and behaviors. By employing Design Thinking methodologies like brainstorming sessions and rapid prototyping, researchers can ideate and test innovative solutions to complex research problems. Ultimately, Design Thinking enables researchers to approach their work with a human-centered mindset, leading to more meaningful insights and impactful outcomes.  Using your last year research, fill out what 21CC practices you used and how you used DTP on it. 1.

Ambiguity which means that for one phenomenon more than one possible meaning or explanation exists. b. Collaboration at certain issues across disciplines in interdisciplinary teams. c. Constructiveness as it is a solution-based approach that looks for a better outcome. d. Curiosity as it kindles interest in things. e. Empathy as the focus is on user needs. f. Holism because it looks at a wider context for the end-users. g. Iteration as it is not linear but cyclical and each cycle is built upon the previous one. h. Non – judgmental way in creating ideas toward the idea creator or idea i. Openness as it encourages outside the box thinking.  STEM PRACTICES A s k i n g q ues ti ons a n d clarify problems to determine criteria for d ef i n i ng p ro bl ems successful solutions and identify constraints to solve problems and to clarify ideas replicas, diagrams, mathematical representations (graph, D evel op i ng a n d us i n g mo dels formula), analogies, and simulations.

Each stage requires critical analysis and creative problem- solving. Example: In the Define stage, students must synthesize information from the Empathize stage to accurately frame the problem, requiring critical thinking skills. Creativity and Innovation: DTP Demonstration: The Ideate stage specifically focuses on generating creative and innovative solutions. Example: During brainstorming sessions, students are encouraged to think outside the box and come up with novel ideas to address the defined problem. Communication and Collaboration: DTP Demonstration: Design Thinking is inherently collaborative, requiring clear communication throughout the process. Example: In the Test stage, students must effectively communicate their prototype ideas and gather feedback, enhancing both verbal and visual communication skills. Information, Media, and Technology Literacy: DTP Demonstration: Students often use digital tools for research, prototyping, and presentation throughout the DTP. Example: In the Empathize stage, students might use online surveys or digital ethnography tools to gather user data. Flexibility and Adaptability: DTP Demonstration: The iterative nature of DTP requires students to be flexible and adapt their ideas based on feedback and testing results. Example: After the Test stage, students often need to revise their prototypes or even redefine the problem, demonstrating adaptability. Initiative and Self-Direction: DTP Demonstration: Students take ownership of their projects and drive the process forward. Example: In the Prototype stage, students must take initiative to create tangible representations of their ideas. Social and Cross-Cultural Skills: DTP Demonstration: The Empathize stage particularly emphasizes understanding diverse user perspectives. Example: When designing a solution for a community issue, students must consider various cultural and social factors affecting different stakeholders. Productivity and Accountability: DTP Demonstration: The process requires students to manage their time and resources effectively to complete each stage. Example: Teams must coordinate efforts and meet deadlines for each stage of the process, from initial research to final presentation. Leadership and Responsibility: DTP Demonstration: Students often take on different roles within their teams, providing opportunities for leadership. Example: A student might lead the Ideate session, facilitating the brainstorming process for their team.  Conduct a simple interview or an observation with two (2) of your identified end-users and answer the questions in each of the quadrants in the given empathy map template. Based on your working problem, identify the process in design thinking and demonstrated 21st Century Competencies (4Cs) and STEM Practices P ro c es s es i n D es i g n 2 1 s t Century S TEM Pra cti ces T h i n k in g Co mp etenci es D evel op i ng a d eep A s k i ng un d ers t andi ng o f en d - Co mmunication q ues ti ons a nd us ers ( f a rmers) a n d Cri ti ca l def i ni ng d ef i n i ng a c t i o nable Thi nk ing p ro bl ems p ro bl em s t a t emen t.
