Abstract

This paper analyzes the practical effects and problems of current design thinking activities in the field of education. By investigating the basic characteristics of current design thinking activities involved in k12 education in China. On the basis of this data analysis, this paper uses MLP and CLA tools to comb out a guiding framework for the development of young people’s innovation ability driven by design thinking. This framework shows the opportunity, function and significance of design thinking in China’s educational innovation and development in the next five years from four levels of Litany, System, Worldview and Metaphor. This paper also points out that this framework is developing dynamically. In the follow-up “Creativity Initiative” project research and practice, it continues to develop and iterate based on the input of new data and new factors.
