Understanding Design Thinking: a Process Model Based on Method Engineering

This article presents a formal model of the design thinking process based on Method Engineering. The foundation of our work is based on observations within an educational context—the 'School of Design Thinking' of the Hasso-Plattner-Institute in Potsdam, Germany (“HPI D-School”). We analyzed the design thinking process, as it is practiced there, and developed a process model that describes all ...

Infusing Critical Thinking Skill Classification into a Software Engineering Course

Life long learning is important to keep oneself up-to-date in ones profession. Due to the rapid evolutionary nature of computer science, life long learning becomes even more important. Equipping the students with critical and creative thinking skills can make learning more effective. Critical and creative thinking skills can be taught either by offering explicit courses on such topics or the im...

Probabilistic design: The future of rock engineering

A brief background to the development of the rock engineering design process is given, showing that since the development of the science of mathematics, deterministic methods have been used to perform various calculations. The variability of rock properties and support characteristics have always been known. However, they were not explicitly used in design but compensated for by the use of a sa...

the effects of integrating cooperative learning into vocabulary learning of elementary school students

the purpose of the research is to examine if integrating cooperative learning into vocabulary learning helps to increase word recognition of students in an elementary school in iran. it tries to investigate whether cooperative learning approach enables students to improve their language learning. this research used stad (students team achievement division) as a cooperative model in this study. ...
