Critical and Creative

Thinking
Kanak Chhajer, 12A8, 13
What is critical and creative thinking?

Critical thinking
The ability to logically and objectively consider information, evaluate arguments, and synthesize information
into a coherent claim or solution. Critical thinkers are often skeptical and questioning.

Right Questioning

● Great questions often


lead to better
understanding of the
problem which result in
designing great
solutions.

Empathize
● Design thinking begins with empathy. This requires doing away with
any preconceived notions and immersing oneself in the context of
the problem for better understanding.
● In simple words, through empathy, one is able to put oneself in
other people's shoes and connect with how they might be feeling
about their problem, circumstance, or situation.
● There is a challenge one needs to solve. How does one approach it?
Empathy starts from here. As a designer of the solution to a
challenge, one should always understand the problem from the end-
user perspective.
Empathy Map

To create a “persona” or
profile for the user, you can
use the empathy map activity
to create a realistic general
representation of the user or
users. Personas can include
details about a user’s
education, lifestyle, interests,
values, goals, needs,
thoughts, desires, attitudes,
and actions.
Defining The Problem
In the Define stage, information collected during Empathize is used to
draw insights and is instrumental in stating the problem that needs to
be solved. It's an opportunity for the design thinker to define the
challenge or to write the problem statement in a human-centred
manner with a focus on the unmet needs of the users.

The define stage of design thinking (identify the problem) ensures you
fully understand the goal of your design project. It helps you to
articulate your design problem, and provides a clear-cut objective to
work towards
Ideate

● Ideation is the process of generating ideas and solutions through sessions


such as sketching, prototyping, brainstorming etc.
● Brainstorm: During a Brainstorming session, students leverage the synergy of
the group to generate new innovative ideas by building on others’ ideas
● Brain dump Brain dump is very similar to Brainstorm; however, it’s done
individually. It allows the concerned person to open the mind and let the
thoughts be released and captured onto a piece of paper.
● Brain writing Brain writing is also very similar to a Brainstorm session and is
known as ‘individual brainstorming’.
Prototype

The prototype stage involves creating a model designed to solve


consumers' problems which is tested in the next stage of the process.

Test
One of the most important parts of the design thinking process is to
test the prototypes with the end users. This step is often seen going
parallel to prototyping. During testing, the designers receive
feedback about the prototype(s), and get another opportunity to
interact and empathize with the people they are finding solutions for.
