The market needs surviving skills such as creativity, communication, collaboration and critical thinking due to the evolving technologies; therefore, design thinking educations are getting spread. Design thinking education aims learners to gain problem-solving mindset by passing through the design thinking processes. Design thinking education as a constructivist learning approach has skill-based, effective and cognitive learning outcomes. The constructivist learning approach is based on constructing the knowledge on the prior knowledge of the learner by interacting with other learners, instructors and learning objects. Learning objects are the fundamental part of a learning process that carries the properties of the learning theory and the learning goals. Besides, learning object design is getting more critical in learning technologies. This article aims to explore the potentials of design thinking learning objects and their properties in the perspective of learning theory and learning planning perspective and also aims to figure out the design thinking mindset and design thinking learning through learning object approach.
