DesUni: University teaching through Design Thinking
This book presents a model for how to change traditional education, and it is hoped that it will provide inspiration for both university teachers and students
The DesUni teaching model proposes a novel design-oriented approach to education through design thinking. The DesUni teaching model is a unique pedagogical framework for creating problem-based learning. It helps university teachers to generate student-centred learning processes in which students become creative knowledge constructors; wicked problem solvers who are able to navigate and create unknown futures in their learning. As the DesUni name attempts to communicate, DESign is the theoretical rationale underlying the DesUni teaching model. The model’s target group is UNIversity teachers and students. In many ways the model offers a paradigm shift, aimed at changing traditional university education. It involves a change in curriculum, teaching methods, use of knowledge, teaching style, teacher-student relations, culture, habitat and assessment. Additionally, it bridges collaboration and cross-disciplinary approaches for students in discovering what might be in the future.
The DesUni learning process has, over the last couple of years, been tested on various university courses and in different learning situations at undergraduate and graduate levels as well as supplementary training. The model can be applied in many disciplines, across disciplines, and in different phases of educational activities.
