Abstract
In interdisciplinary research contexts, an increasing regard for ‘design thinking’ as an effective driver of ‘innovation’ continues to grow. However, in these contexts, how does Design Thinking interact with other research strategies and methods? Could a better understanding of design methods assist our appreciation of interdisciplinary research that engages Design Thinking? Research effort on the Innovative Learning and Teacher Change (ILETC) project (ARC 2016-2020), specifically identifies Design Thinking methods and how they have informed ILETC data gathering. Co-design workshops engaged the use of Design Thinking to direct teacher agency toward collaborative efforts in realising the potential of ‘Innovative Learning Environments’ (ILEs). This knowledge has assisted the scaffolding of complex research pathways through ILETC research, priming the central question of the project: how can teachers engage and activate their ILEs?
