Design Thinking Research Project

LP Language - Spring Semester 2024

 

The Challenge: With your team of 2-3 members, engage in the research process to explore the following question: 

How can we gain a deeper understanding of the human experience through our observations, experience and knowledge? 

Learning Goals:

  • Conduct short research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question), drawing on several sources and generating additional research related, focused questions that allow for multiple avenues of exploration.
  • Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, using terms effectively; asses the credibility and accuracy of each source; and quote or paraphrase the data and the conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation. 
  • Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research
