Abstract

Design thinking is a thinking tool, process, and method to guide creative activities. This paper makes a comparative research on STEAM education in America, phenomenon-based learning in Finnish, Design and Technology Course in England, and K-12 design thinking education in China by literature research and case study, and summarizes the current situation of design thinking education in K-12 around the world. This work aims to analyze the present difficulties and then propose the ways to promote K-12 design thinking education in China. We conclude that, as for K-12 design thinking education in China, some progress has been made in organizational form, project theme and activity process, but there are still many difficulties. To further promote K-12 design thinking education in China with a high quality, it is necessary to use service design methodology to coordinate all stakeholders and integrate the social resources.
