New Literature Review focus / question
I seem to be going round in circles with Problem Based Learning as I want to find out how 21st century skills are being incorporated in it. I have looked at Agile as well.
Soooo I keep coming back to the Design Thinking model, which is what we focused on for our LDC assessment 2. I think that Design Thinking innovations incorporate all the 21st century skills. What I want to find out more about is how it is being used, especially in a New Zealand education setting, either primary or secondary and what have been the results, good, bad or otherwise. If it's not been extensively used then why? and does there need to be a leadership change to introduce it more across mainstream education?
Possible Research Questions could be:
- What is the Design Thinking model and how does it enhance student engagement and does it increase learning outcomes for students in classroom settings?
- How can the Design Thinking model be used to improve student outcomes in schools?
Any feedback on how I could improve my question/s would be appreciated.
Does it increase learning outcomes for students in classroom settings is a closed question, better to change it to something like: What is the Design Thinking model and how does it enhance student engagement and learning outcomes for students?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your feedback Maria, restructuring the question is helpful. Sometimes it's hard to see the wood for the trees.
DeleteI agree with Maria about that part of the question being closed and like the re-wording. I like the second question as it focuses on implementation but I wonder if it might be too narrow?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback Callum, I knew that when I wrote the second question it did need a bit more padding out, at the time I was starting to go round in circles.
