D&D - Design Thinking and Teacher Education

Full Session: Concurrent Session

Short Description

Abstract 1: Design Thinking is a creative problem-solving method being considered for use in teacher education and research. However, since the term “design” has been over-used, some might question whether Design Thinking is more than an old idea with a trendy new name. This presentation defines the Design Thinking construct; compares it to other educational models such as Instructional Design, Design Based Research, and Problem-Based Learning; and disseminates preliminary data from a pilot study utilizing Design Thinking.

Abstract 2: The purpose of this presentation is to provide guidelines to design peer assessment to prepare elementary pre-service teachers for STEM teaching. Pre-service teachers encounter challenges in integrating robotics into STEM teaching. Peer assessment can help to tackle the challenges. Based on theories, we propose guidelines to design peer assessment to prepare pre-service teachers to integrate robotics into STEM teaching.
