Abstract
The purpose of this study is to seek the possibility of an advanced learning method “T-shape learning model” for teaching students in design. A T-shape-learning model is an advanced Design Thinking model, which is designed for practicing design processes with various design methods and case studies. The process includes a Holistic-linear process and a Cross-emphasis process. 1. The Holistic-linear process is an understanding phase of the Design Thinking process where students can understand the Design Thinking process with a given well-organized description at the initial stage. 2. The Cross-emphasis process allows students to start a variety of exercises with different design methods to discover a fit solution. This T-shape learning model gives students, who are from lower-level to upper-level, an excellent opportunity to offer practical and professional perspectives gaining confidence at any type of design project. In addition, depending on the type of project, students can quickly recognize and combine different design methods for a better solution. This paper introduces one of the practical teaching methodologies, the “T-shape learning model,” and seeks a reasonable basis to supplement self-directed learning.
