The revised Bloom's taxonomy (Fig. 1) is a framework derives by Benjamin Bloom in 1956 to categorise the order of thinking skills where the tip of the pyramid display higher order thinking. With Create as a verb (Fig. 2), Art provides a platform for pupils to display acts of planning, problem solving and meaning making for improvements or radical innovations.
While there are different versions of the design process or so called thinking process. The design thinking model (Fig. 3) by d. school, as the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford University is referenced as it's often held in high regard for how interdisciplinary design thinking and creativity can be taught.
There is no lack of information of Design Thinking when you run a search online. I was worried that Design Thinking or its counterparts such as Maker Movement or STEAM education are a fad so I read up on the following articles just to wrap my head around these ideas first. You can also sign up for an account on Coursera for this course, Tinkering Fundamentals to get started.
