21st century learning requires students to be able to think critically and be able to solve about the problems around them. The skills required by these 21st century students are referred to as 21st century skills. To be able to practice critical thinking skills and problem solving in learning, lecturers or learning facilitators can use certain learning methods that can accommodate these skills. One of the appropriate learning methods to apply in this regard is the project-based learning method. Besides, there is also a thinking approach that can be involved to the project-based learning method. It is design thinking approach. Design thinking approach can help students to be able to think structured from the preparation until the project done. It can be happened by integrating the design thinking framework to the project-based learning syntax. Project-based learning methods integrated with design thinking approach make a holistic and detailed learning method for students in achieving learning goals. Then, it is also predicted to improve students' critical thinking skills, as project-based learning methods work.

“…The team suspected that the "Lack of epistemic curiosity towards learning" could be a potential cause of the issue. Epistemic curiosity can be defined as "a characteristic that persuades the students to engage in learning and intellectual activities and enhances the desire to know the subject" (Binu et al, 2020). It can be classified as Surface Approach (SA)characterized as lack of purpose, rote learning, confined to the syllabus, fear of failure; Deep 2.…”

Epistemic curiosity can be defined as “a characteristic that persuades the students to engage in learning and intellectual activities and enhances the desire to know the subject” (Binu et al , 2020). It can be classified as Surface Approach (SA) - characterized as lack of purpose, rote learning, confined to the syllabus, fear of failure; Deep Approach (DA) - characterized as dwelling deeper, connecting and developing of an idea, and facts-based approach; Strategic Approach (STA) – characterized as organized learning, time management, strategic learning from the perspective of the exam, achieving and mentoring effects (Hasnor et al , 2013).…”

PurposeThe article intended to excavate the Lean Six Sigma (LSS) deployment challenges, Critical Success Factors (CSF), tools and techniques, and managerial implications in an Indian healthcare setting.Design/methodology/approachThe article illustrates a case study established using Action Research (AR) approach. Further, the case study is based on the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control (DMAIC) phases of LSS. The performance and service quality of the Endodontics department of a dental college attached to a hospital is enhanced and sustained through the LSS strategy.FindingsThe processing time of Root Canal treatment is reduced by determining the root causes for delay and implementing sustainable solutions. The structured deployment of the LSS strategy helped the Endodontics department to reduce the processing time from an average of 116 min–84 min. Thus, the process's sigma level is enhanced from 0.06 to 4.17 and assisted in sustaining the results.Research limitations/implicationsThe case study's findings are based on the single AR carried out at an Endodontics department of a dental college hospital based on LSS strategies. Even though this study's results cannot be generalized, the deliverables of the case study can be used to develop the LSS roadmap for the dental colleges to enhance the service quality and safety of the patients.Originality/valueThe article provides step-by-step details for implementing LSS in dental college hospitals with critical analysis based on robust statistical tools and techniques. The case study provides evidence of the adoption of LSS in medical college education and provides the confidence to adopt the same through novice users. The study's findings may persuade the policymakers to add LSS in the medical education curriculum to reinforce safety and reduce errors in the healthcare system.
