ABSTRACT The ‘Future of Jobs’ report from the World Economic Forum highlights that creativity is one of the most important skills needed by the workforce. One way of enhancing the creativity of students undertaking STEM subjects is by taking inspiration from design disciplines. The product design curriculum has creativity at its heart and follows a product oriented learning strategy, integrating ideas from the humanities and sciences, mixing theory and practice. The curriculum is structured to support multidisciplinary collaboration between students from different courses to bring in new ideas, perspectives and skills. Students are encouraged to explore new ideas, materials and technologies through play and experimentation. Teaching is undertaken in a studio environment rather than a lecture hall, enabling group discussions and practical activities to take place as part of teaching sessions. If ideas from the world of design are integrated into the STEM curricula, perhaps student creativity and engagement will improve?

将设计学科的思想整合到STEM课程中

摘要世界经济论坛的“就业前景”报告强调，创造力是劳动力所需的最重要技能之一。提高从事STEM学科的学生的创造力的一种方法是从设计学科中汲取灵感。产品设计课程的核心是创造力，并遵循以产品为导向的学习策略，将人文与科学的思想融为一体，将理论与实践相结合。该课程旨在支持来自不同课程的学生之间的跨学科合作，以引入新的思想，观点和技能。鼓励学生通过游戏和实验来探索新的思想，材料和技术。教学是在工作室环境而不是演讲厅中进行的，使小组讨论和实践活动成为教学会议的一部分。如果将来自设计界的想法整合到STEM课程中，也许学生的创造力和参与度会提高吗？
