 Brief report about the incorporated teaching Pedagogy 

 

The teaching pedagogy focused on empathetic design and real-world problem solving using a design thinking approach. Students were encouraged to understand user needs through empathy, generate creative ideas, and develop practical solutions. Methods such as group discussions, brainstorming, and scenario-based learning were used. For example, students explored challenges like improving public transport experience or designing solutions for student stress, helping them connect theory with real-life situations.

Outcomes:
Students developed better problem-solving skills, creativity, teamwork, and a deeper understanding of user-centered design. They became more confident in analysing real-world challenges and proposing meaningful solutions.
