Development of Design Thinking Class Program Applying Creative Problem Solving(CPS) in College Classes

The purpose of this study is to develop a design thinking program that applies creative problem solving (hereafter CPS) in college classes. As a research method to achieve the purpose of this study, first, through literature and case studies, the core value of the design thinking class program applying CPS and the core learning activity process were derived. In addition, the blending design strategy was established by finding the core support elements required for each process, and the draft program was completed. Second, the draft program was revised and supplemented through expert formative evaluation, and the final improved program was completed. Third, to verify the feasibility of the completed program, a validation test(CVI) was conducted from a group of experts. As a result of the validation test(CVI), the design thinking program for creative problem solving was positively evaluated as having explanatory power, usefulness, validity, understanding, and universality. The results of this study will provide a guide for creative and systematic learning to professors who want to use CPS-applied design thinking in various onand off-line environments.
