This article focuses on international design education and the benefits of combining design thinking with cross-cultural empathy, in addressing ‘wicked’ global problems in our society. There is a lack of cross-cultural design thinking-specific approaches in international education literature. This study aims to cover the main contributors to the development of design thinking, Cultural Intelligence (CQ), and explore their different views. It discusses the metric of CQ, its importance in the world today and how to improve CQ, through cross-cultural design workshops and units that deal with ‘wicked’ global problems and scenarios. The approach involves a combination of design thinking methods with an empathy framework, to seek meaningful participation in the entire design process for a socially complex environment. Furthermore, the results reveal that, co-design with cross-cultural empathy relates to the increasing development of CQ. The findings are discussed and related to the implications for the use of design thinking in international higher education.

社会复杂环境中高等教育中设计思维与文化智能的整合

本文重点关注国际设计教育以及将设计思维与跨文化同理心相结合的好处,以解决我们社会中“邪恶”的全球问题。国际教育文献中缺乏针对跨文化设计思维的方法。本研究旨在涵盖设计思维、文化智能 (CQ) 发展的主要贡献者,并探讨他们的不同观点。它讨论了 CQ 的度量、它在当今世界的重要性以及如何通过跨文化设计研讨会和处理“邪恶”全球问题和场景的单元来改进 CQ。该方法涉及将设计思维方法与移情框架相结合,以寻求对社会复杂环境的整个设计过程的有意义的参与。此外,结果表明,具有跨文化同理心的协同设计与CQ的日益发展有关。对这些发现进行了讨论,并与在国际高等教育中使用设计思维的意义相关。
