講演について

講演タイトル:"Design-Thinking Transforms Product-Based-Learning from Problem Solving to Opportunity Discovery"
「先端的PBLにおける最新動向について−スタンフォード・ウェイ−」

"Design-Thinking" is an emerging intellectual discipline that focuses on how people create alternative futures. It is both familiar, and seemingly new to higher education and corporate knowledge management. It is especially relevant to new technology management. Its academic roots go back to product and project based learning (PBL) in which small teams of students (under faculty guidance) learn by posing and answering their own questions when challenged by "open-ended problem scenarios.
In this presentation, I will review empirical findings from the "Design-Thinking Research" literature and illustrate PBL activity through cases drawn from my Graduate Laboratory-Course, ME310 "Global Team-Based Design Innovation with Corporate Partners."
In the second half of the presentation, I will draw attention to the important role of "design-culture coaches" as adjunct members of the global product innovation team. Again, cases from our work with industry partners will be used for illustration (including video). I will also share data from 1st year student's use of wiki based "idealogs." They offer some compelling (promising) evidence that this kind of reflective activity has a positive impact on student's awareness about what has been learned in PBL scenarios".
Key Words
PBL, product, project, learning, teams, design-thinking, idealogs, wiki, reflection, coaching
