Abstract

Few empirical studies have demonstrated the positive consequences of integrating design thinking with project-based learning (PBL) for generating meaningful community impact. Our study fills this void by incorporating a new pedagogical approach—design thinking—into project-based learning (PBL) as an innovative way of structuring class exploration activities in an MBA capstone class. Our findings have important implications on how to stimulate students’ meaningful engagement with external stakeholders, add creativity and innovation, and produce impactful community outcomes in the context of project-based learning. Our research is positioned to support the attainment of AACSB accreditation for business schools, especially under the AACSB, 2020 AACSB. (2020).

摘要

很少有实证研究证明了将设计思维与基于项目的学习 (PBL) 相结合以产生有意义的社区影响的积极后果。我们的研究通过将一种新的教学方法——设计思维——融入到基于项目的学习 (PBL) 中，作为在 MBA 顶峰课程中构建课堂探索活动的创新方式，填补了这一空白。我们的研究结果对于如何激发学生与外部利益相关者进行有意义的接触、增加创造力和创新以及在基于项目的学习环境中产生有影响力的社区成果具有重要意义。我们的研究旨在支持商学院获得 AACSB 认证，尤其是在2020 年AACSB 下AACSB。（2020 年）。商业认证的指导原则和标准。坦帕：促进大学商学院协会。 [谷歌学术]标准。
