Learning Sciences

The author here suggests an alternate view and underlines that less structure will bring a lot more learning. The applicability and the feasibility of the design thinking is being questioned.

A nice reading for cased-based reasoning. The rest of this paper is structured as follows: The next section gives a brief historical overview of the CBR field. This is followed by a grouping of CBR methods into a set of characteristic types, and a presentation of the descriptive framework which will be used throughout the paper to discuss CBR methods.

International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning website. You can check proceedings.

A virtual crash course in design thinking.

An award winning documentary on design thinking.

Great documentary and really inspiring :) quote from the documentary : I hate the word of 'thinking' cause you are not 'doing'

Some inspirational ideas on design thinking from IDEO.

I like his ideas, they are indeed inspirational and realizable. And the OpenIdeo Platform (Global community to solve big challenges for social good - http://www.openideo.com/ ) is very promising.

Some ideas on design thinking for educators. I really like their toolkit. You can download it once you sign up.

This is an illustration depicting the case-based reasoning cycle. The loops are shown as Kolodner states, starting with the choice of choosing a case.

The article is on the integration of case-based reasoning to problem-based learning, it is an example to a merging of them. Examples of science instruction can be found and CBR in detail is explained by Kolodner and her colleagues.

Below are 45 design thinking resources you can use to lead this movement in your own classroom.

Here, we try to answer your questions about the different integrating components of a design learning experience into familiar, pre-existing scenarios that play out in every school.

The article mentions key features of LBD from a practical perspective. But, I still have some questions about how to apply LBD effectively in traditional classroom environment while trying to keep up with the requirements of the curricula in practice. The current curricula are assumed to be designed considering the contemporary approaches and methods. But the more I learn about the current improvements in the field the more I question our " current curricula".

"The impact of design thinking in education is two-fold: First, by requiring the use of multiple lenses when looking at a problem, design thinking demonstrates that bringing together seemingly disparate perspectives can often be the key to finding effective solutions.Second, and perhaps more importantly, design thinking emphasizes that collaboration and the use of outside resources are critical to both the learning and problem solving process-a notion that will be valuable to their scholarly, professional and personal lives."
