It outlines various design thinking tools, including visualization, journey mapping, value chain analysis, mind mapping, brainstorming, concept development, assumption testing, prototyping, customer co-creation, and learning launch. The report explains how these tools can be utilized to enhance student engagement, improve pedagogy, and foster innovation within educational institutions. It emphasizes the importance of a human-centric approach, encouraging active participation and experimentation to drive meaningful change. The report also highlights the role of design thinking in promoting creative problem-solving and preparing students for future challenges. References from various researchers and academics are included to support the concepts and tools discussed.

DESIGN THINKING IN
EDUCATIONAL ADVANCES

DESIGN THINKING
 Refers to the strategic and the practical
processes by which concepts are
designed.
 Key concepts of design thinking have
been identified across various design
domains.
 Design thinking is associated with
prescriptions for the innovations of
product and service within business and
social arenas.

DESIGN THINKING IN
EDUCATIONAL DOMAINS
 Helps the students to understand that
they can design their own future by
referring to the frameworks from other
areas.
 Enables students to design their own
participation.
 Design thinking helps in pedagogy. The
collaborative actions aid the teachers to
teach the concepts in a better way to the
students.

DESIGN THINKING
TOOLS
 The various design thinking tools are
visualization, prototyping, journey
mapping, value chain analysis, mind
mapping, concept development,
assumption testing and many more.
 Effectively inculcate empathy in the
organizations.
 Restructure and resolve problems
aligning to its human centric nature.

DESIGN THINKING TOOL-
VISUALIZATION
 Considered as the source of all the available design
thinking tools.
 The visual tools, which can be made use of for
understanding the problem are personas, mind map
and many more.
 In the educational sector, visualization has enabled
the students to get a better understanding of the
subject matter.
 Pedagogues can use interactive displays in order to
help the students acquire a clear conception of the
subject.

DESIGN THINKING TOOL- JOURNEY
MAPPING
 Tool that visualizes the process in which the person
maps his way to accomplish the set target.
 Refers to the process of compiling steps related to
the actions of the user into a specific timeline.
 Combines the quantitative and qualitative data
from the various stakeholders in the campus.
 Transfers these data to insights, which help reshape
the experience of the student.

DESIGN THINKING TOOL-
VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS
 Associated with the distribution of
the newly developed methods.
 Analyzes the supply chain of the
educational framework.
 Bridges the gap between the
students and educational
packages information related to
the entities.

DESIGN THINKING TOOL-
MIND MAPPING
 Helps to think and analyze
the ideas and their
corresponding topics.
 Breaks down complicated
tasks into simpler fragments.
 Applications in the education
sector include improving
the word stock,
understanding grammar,

DESIGN THINKING TOOL-
BRAINSTORMING
 Effective in generating ideas
by enhancing the collective
thinking .
 Helps students to express
their point of view.
 Ensuring that that team
members communicate.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
 Concept development is a
method of developing the
ideas used to resolve various
design issues.
 It is a design thinking tool
that develops concepts in
phases from ideas that do
not have definite forms.
 It includes understanding the

ASSUMPTION TESTING
 Assumption testing focuses on the
process of recognising the assumptions
related to the new ideas of the business
and the data available to analyze the
likelihood of the assumptions.
 The assumptions are tested via
experiments followed by field
experiments. The critical assumption
amongst all is determined that relates to
the potential of the concept.

PROTOTYPING
 Prototyping is a vital experience user
design as it allows testing of ideas
and making relevant improvements
on the ideas in a specific time.
 Prototyping helps in avoiding
wastage of resources by supplying
the necessary tools and appropriate
approaches for testing and exploring
the ideas properly.
