Learning Through Doing

Learning Through Doing

1. Design thinking: is a process that systemises the prototyping of ideas and prcatices to solve problems

   • 1. The need for new desing
     • New conditions and broader and more complex learning goals
     • Call for a developmental response
     • Develop solutions to urge problems
   • 2. The descipline of desing
     • Design processes:
       • Focused on a problem
       • Driven by empathy
       • Collaborative
       • Clear and tangible
       • Fail- safe- Fail- fast
       • Capacity- building
     • Emphaty for the context of a problem
     • Creativity in the generations of insights and solutions
     • Analysis and fitting solutions
   • 3. The design methodoly
     • The triple diamond methodology has been used to create and sacale innovation in sectors from manufacturing to mental health
       • 1.Stimulate
         • Defining the problem and stimulating innovators to respond
       • 2.Incubate
         • The next step is to explore, generate and evaluate solutions to the problem
           • Explore: The uncibation phase starts by learning more about the background and context of the focus of enquiry
             • Undertake a horizon scan: This involves seeking oit ideas and inspiration from the best innovator arouend the world
             • Use ethnography: is the systematic study of people and cultures
             • Resource audits: uncover what money, time and opportunities are available in your community from various government and NGO sources, as well as voluntary parent fundraising
               • The aims of this process is to identify hhow and where change could make most impact
         • Generate: Designers describe the process of ideas generation and testing as prototyping
           • The aim is to quickly refine new practices through rapid experimentation, evaluation and adaptation
             • Lsiten to disrupters: disrupter are practitioners from unrelated sectors who bring different perspectives on motivation, organisations and what matters
             • Learn from related worlds: is about asking how other sectors and organisations might tackle similar issues
             • Role playing: involves creating a situation based on a new approach and seeing how it feels to play the partner involved
             • Paper prototyping means trying out on paper to avoid the time or expenses of generating real test products
               • The aims is to quickly refine new practices through rapid experimentation, evaluation and adaptation
             • Create storyboard: it is useful when refining the details of a new approach
             • Conduct open behaviorual simulations:
         • Evalute: is to see if the whole approcah can come together in practice, how big an impact it has and wheter it has the desired impact
           • Polling: is a simple way to get a sense check of how a whole group feels
           • Surveys: help to ensure that the responses of all relevant stakeholders are recorded
           • Interviews and focus group
           • Analysis of existing data
           • Action research
       • 3. Scale
         • Scaling has tipically been seen as a simple problem of knowledge transfer
