Description

A 12-week undergraduate design thinking course in which generative AI tools were integrated across Design Thinking's five stages. The study examined "experiences with GenAI tools such as ChatGPT and DALL·E across Design Thinking's five stages," collecting 112 student reflections analysed with mixed methods including thematic and sentiment analysis. The course served as the setting in which students developed creativity, critical thinking, and ethical reasoning with GenAI support.
