Empathy

Methods and tools to gain empathy

Experiential Learning in the center

Learn by doing was on the list above, but this had to do with positive experiences as being central for motivation, also in the learning environment

Furthermore, multiple participants pointed out that empathy was forgotten in the first exercise yet that it is very important. Experiential learning was suggested in this round by multiple participants and considered fundamental. Someone also suggested learning by apprenticeship. This workshop showed us the difficulty, even for experts, to express and articulate in a good way to learn (or teach, as some have taken the exercise to mean) design thinking.

Looking at our own work in relation to Table 2, we can say that we have been following all these guidelines, but never in a procedure like manner—each project is a different experience and solves different questions applying different sets of methods and tools. The only form of learning mentioned in Table 2 that we do not include explicitly is making students join formal and informal groups with DT interests. However, sometimes students find them on their own. While the involvement of a teacher, or another person experienced in DT, is important at the start of the project, once the shared understanding is reached, students become very self-sufficient and learn by themselves. They learn by doing, trying, and failing, then practicing some more, until they succeed, or understand why their success eludes them. More details on how this experiential learning model is implemented can be found in (Culén, 2015).
