Abstract

Design thinking is regarded as an effective way of innovation and has a very broad prospect in the educational environment. At present, there are few studies on the influence of design thinking. This study takes the students participating in the design thinking course offered by the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology as the research object, uses the method of a questionnaire survey to explore the influence of single-disciplinary team and cross-disciplinary team on students, and discusses the characteristics and problems of different teams in design thinking education in the environment of higher education. The results show that: 1) after designing the thinking course, the students who participate in the single-disciplinary team and the students in the cross-disciplinary team have similar positive comments on the curriculum plan and its impact, 2) In terms of teamwork, we find that the two types of teams have their own characteristics, and there are also some constraints. This study is expected to supplement the research on the influence of design thinking and provide a reference for the development of design thinking education in the future.
