AHFE Open AccessMicro-ethnography of Creativity in the Learning Process of “Design Thinking”: A Case Study at a Japanese Liberal Arts University
Abstract
In Japanese university education, Design Thinking is taking root in the educational program for human resource development. A characteristic feature of design thinking is that it draws out the creativity of participants through group work. However, it cannot be said that the research to date has fully elucidated how participants’ creativity is brought out in group work. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to clarify how students in group work influence each other to exhibit their creativity in design thinking. In the analysis process, new methods based on the micro-ethnography are applied. This paper reports on a set of analytical methods.
Keywords: Design thinking, Collaborative Creativity, Higher Education, Micro-ethnography
