Abstract
In this project, I aim to explore the effects of co-creating creative outputs using design thinking methods on student agency, intrinsic motivation, and interpersonal connection in higher education. Through a qualitative phenomenological framework, I examine the experiences of undergraduate students, graduate students, and community partners who have engaged in co-curricular projects incorporating design thinking and co-design principles. The design employs creative practice-based research, with data collection through individual interviews and a group workshop employing multiple design thinking methods. The findings will be presented in a creative video scenario, employing Luma Design Thinking Methods, to synthesize and present the data in a visually engaging and narrative-driven format. Through this project I aim to contribute to the existing literature on design thinking and co-creation in higher education, offering insights into the effectiveness of these pedagogical strategies in enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes in particular in the response to perceived challenges faced by some students posed by prolonged remote learning and social isolation during the COVID era.
