What's in the Ebook?

It’s no secret that the Covid-19 pandemic has rocked the foundations of several business sectors around the world. When we think about these effects, we usually think of the medical industry, which was overburdened for almost two straight years. Doctors retiring early, stress and burnout, and a significant spike in Covid cases among workers are just the tip of the iceberg.

 

But there’s another sector that has suffered an almost equal amount to the medical industry: education. Teachers are retiring early, putting even more stress on an already strained workforce that has had to adapt to 100% online classes almost overnight. The statistics are alarming, and if something isn’t done soon, it could have long-lasting effects on the education of future generations.

 

But the future is not all doom and gloom. Many companies are investing in the future of education, and one of the pioneering trends today is the use of Design Thinking, not only as a tool for solving the challenges facing academic institutions but as an actual course for young students. Teaching them Design Thinking could offer students the tools they need to become self-regulating learners.

 

This Ebook will discuss the current context within the education system, how we got there, and how DT can help. While this idea won’t save the education system in its current form, it could assist in staunching the bleeding caused by the pandemic.

“Self-regulated learners exercise control over their learning by setting goals, independently seeking challenges that expand their skill sets, and viewing failures and setbacks as a regular and essential part of the learning process”
