— Brainstorming Learner Engagement
Goals
—Learn about design thinking tools and
methodologies
—Gain empathy through journey mapping (a tool
borrowed from user experience design)
—Ideate a more engaging lesson plan through
design thinking and the principles of Universal
Design for Learning
Kim Ducharme / Design Thinking for Educators / UDL Symposium 2016
Design Thinking
The goal is
matching people’s
needs with what is
technologically
feasible and
financially viable

EMPATHY: Personas
xious Alma
es okay on homework
verage student
Struggles with science
Lacks self-confidence
Finds classroom environment
threatening, struggles to
concentrate
Withdraws due to fear of failure
– does not partcipate or engage
with classmates
– would rather refuse answering
a question than risk getting
it wrong
Goof-off Gage
Invests in making a positive
impression (by being a goof-off)
Assumes that he will fail right
from the start, be seen as
incompetent (tries to hide this by
being a goof-off)
Invests in appearing too smart to
try
Avoids authentic engagement in
content — asks lots of questions
to appear engaged, but gets
answers from classmates.
Undermines assessment
feedback function by cheating

Helpless Hannah
Displays neither enthusiasm nor
bad behavior
Views herself as incompetent
and unable to master new
academic material
Assumes that she will fail, so
why even try?
Remains socially, intellectually,
and emotionally detatched
Interprets poor performance as
confirmation of low expectations

Design Thinking for Educators — Emotions by Design
Satisfied Santos
Enjoys intellectual challenge
outside of school, sophisticated
science understanding beyond
class curriculum
Enjoys the social engagement of
school, is popular, likable
Does not rely on school
performance for self-esteem
Talent for writing science fiction
Does not respond to grade
incentives, satisfied with "C's"
though could be earning "A's"
Performs only enough to avoid
negative attention

Safe Sally
Performs well by most academic
criteria
Enjoys the respect of classmates
and teachers
Benefits from test-taking and
other academic skills
Engages only enough to get an
"A," reads only what will be
tested on
Motivated by good grades and
external recognition — learning
is instrumental, but no intrinsic
value, joy or excitement
Avoids the risks of stretching
herself, and rewards of creative
exploration

Design Thinking for Educators — Emotions
Student Personas
— Imagine you’ve done some design research, and
distilled findings into 6 unique “personas”
(Alma, Gage, Hannah, Santos, Sally, and Al)
Derived from Motivation to Learn, Deborah Stipek
EMPATHY: Going deeper
— We’re going to imagine the experience of a lesson
on circuits through the lens of our personas
(Alma, Gage, Hannah, Santos, Sally, and Al)
— How might we gain deeper insights?
— Journey mapping

• Stay on the current question.
• Express an idea and then move on.
• Build on the ideas of others.
• Have only one conversation at a time.

Getters get materials Try studetns try different solutions Discuss ways to light bulb Think & check think about and check predictions Record predictions Introduce vocabulary: • circuit • components • contact points New challenge can you make a one-wire circuit? Lead discussion • students discuss their circuits • discuss a few circuit principles Do challenge Draw as students succeed, draw circuit Discuss students study and discuss their circuits Prompt to answer focus question — write an explaination in their science notebook Answer focus question in science notebook —On today’s experience —On applying to your own work — How would you use, extend, change, add to the tools? —Other applications? e.g. — Look at teachers’ experience — Use as conversation piece in design research Kim Ducharme / Design Thinking for Educators / UDL Symposium 2016
