“…-Applying elements of design thinking to group design process: When analyzing the thought and design process of designers, many problems become apparent. This is because there are no direct criteria for understanding the process in the mind of the May / June / Jule / August Year Issue: 29 Summer Term ISSN Print: 2148-8142 Online: 2148 designer (Marful et al, 2022).

Aim: This study intends to identify the processes of group design with students, the weak and strong areas of their activity in different phases, and to assess the implications of education in executing this activity by focusing on the principles of group design thinking in architecture. Method: A test was conducted among students from Tehran and Konya Technical Universities to investigate the influence of education on improving group design quality. This experiment was conducted by having three-hour drawing sessions and dividing the students into 8 groups. The single-variable test method was utilized because of the independence of the groups and the equality of their variances. Two preliminary exams were used to measure students’ lack of understanding and familiarity with group work, followed by an extra examination for the students involved in the issue. Results: The findings revealed that in group architectural design, group members focus largely on the design’s content, with team communication centred on two essential aspects: content analysis and process review. Conclusion: Teamwork in designing can be superior to solo effort, and proper training can increase this. It is felt that paying attention to the concept of group design and teaching it in architecture schools is useful.

Forming a Unique Partnership Between a University’s Educational Leadership Master’s Degree Program and Its Surrounding School Districts Using the Five Whys Protocol

In 2019, program leaders and professors in the university’s educational leadership program noticed a significant decline in enrollment, and state leadership test scores for the program were below the state average. Using the Five Whys protocol and five stages of the design thinking process as identified by IDEO (Brown & Katz, 2019 ), they set to resolve the issues. The Five Whys protocol is an iterative and formative interrogative technique used to explore cause-and-effect relationships. As noted by Serrat ( 2017 ), the primary goal of the technique is to determine the root cause of a problem by repeating the question up to five times. Each response informed the foundation for the next iteration and allowed the group to settle on the root cause of the problem. Then, design thinking was used to provide a solution-based approach to resolving the problems noted. Program leaders began by forming a stakeholder workgroup that included school district leadership development professionals from each of the university’s surrounding districts. Program leaders used district leader input to understand what skills school districts needed in graduates of the university program and considered possible program changes to address the problems noted. The result of the year-long process was a program transformation, with increased enrollment and improved state assessment scores, to a widely accepted and successful master’s degree program that is supported by all districts served by the university.
