Design thinking for educators: an application study of perspective Curriculum

This article makes a comparison between the empirical method used to produce a set of video classes, with the methodological proposal of DT for Educators. It presents the approach of design thinking developed by Brown (2010) and its adaptation to the educational reality presented by the e-book Design Thinking for Educators, made by IDEO and Riverdale companies (2013). Then, it describes the case of a collaborative production of video classes performed by students and teacher; making a comparison with each step of the method suggested by the e-book. It was possible to identify actions related to the stages 0, 1, 4 and 5 of the method, which suggests that it is possible to apply it in full, as an educational practice based on problem solving and collaboration, encouraging students to experience their own knowledge construction process.
