Prospects for the Development of Design Thinking of Higher Education Applicants in the Culture and Art Industry in the Context of Digitalization

Abstract

The rapid development of science, technology, and digital multimedia has made adjustments in all areas of design. Its ramifications and forms are deeply influenced by digital media, making new demands on teaching. A renewed society regulates new modes of teaching to produce applicants capable of adapting to the development of modern society and responding to the needs of the market. The article aims to present the impact of the development of modern digital media technologies on the teaching of modern fashion design at Kyiv National University of Culture and Art and to analyze the methodological problems of design thinking. The novelty of the work is the consideration of a new mode of teaching that is suitable for digital media art design from the perspective of design thinking methodology. The result of the work is the connection between the modes of design and the development of creative projects in the perspective of the model of homogeneous synthesis of the use of design thinking methodology and digitalization. The feasibility of the methodology synthesis is revealed in the results of the experiment, which involved 30 students from three faculties of Kyiv National University of Culture and Art. The groups took a combined bachelor's and master's degree course in design engineering, aimed at developing the best final project. Students combined this course with incorporating a design thinking approach. The best project was demonstrated by the group that focused the most on the use of design thinking and creativity and was guided in the design development by one of the basic components of design thinking, empathy. Taking the perspective of incorporating design thinking into the learning process can identify the next steps that can assess a future professional's life trajectory as well as address topics such as recognition, memory, and future development perspectives.

Analyzing the role of clip thinking in the context of digitalization of the educational environment of the future

“…They can create strong emotions and impressions, which ensures high-quality learning. Sometimes short videos can convey more information than a book or article because they can be produced using different elements such as sound, images, and text (Dykhnych et al, 2022).…”

Educational trends in the development of philological education in Azerbaijan in the era of digitalisation: a forecast of the future

“…The authors conduct digital science research in collaboration with other disciplines and interdisciplinary approaches, and primarily with the philological sciences, cognitive sciences, and neuroscience. In this context, let us add that an interdisciplinary approach should promote scholarly work, where the challenge is to know how to work together beyond disciplinary relationships, focusing on some basic problems and knowing how to define methodologies for evaluating the results of this work, without which there can be no rigorous progress for the benefit of students (Liudmyla, Olena, Yana, Svitlana, & Olena, 2022). The development of relevant and reliable knowledge, in the context of the accelerated evolution of the relevant practical field, is a challenge in itself.…”
