Abstract

This paper reports a design research study investigating the use of design thinking in undergraduate courses. We redesigned undergraduate courses in multiple disciplines such that design thinking processes provided the structure for collaborative project-based learning. We conducted semantic network analysis and other correlation analysis to inform design moves in design-based research to determine what aspects of the design features worked effectively. In these findings we demonstrate that semantic network analysis can be used as a new approach to develop design moves in design-based research to address the weakness.
