Through real-world projects, trainees learn to optimize their creative outcomes by developing and practicing creative cognition and metacognition. This paper provides a holistic perspective on creativity, enabling the formulation of a comprehensive theoretical framework of creative metacognition. It focuses on the design thinking approach to creativity and explores the role of metacognition in four areas of creativity expertise: Products, Processes, People, and Places. The analysis includes task-outcome relationships (product metacognition), the monitoring of strategy effectiveness (process metacognition), an understanding of individual or group strengths and weaknesses (people metacognition), and an examination of the mutual impact between environments and creativity (place metacognition). It also reviews measures taken in design thinking education, including a distribution of cognition and metacognition, to support students in their development of creative mastery. On these grounds, we propose extended methods for measuring creative metacognition with the goal of enhancing comprehensive assessments of the phenomenon. Proposed methodological advancements include accuracy sub-scales, experimental tasks where examinees explore problem and solution spaces, combinations of naturalistic observations with capability testing, as well as physiological assessments as indirect measures of creative metacognition.}, language = {en} } @article{VladovaUllrichSloaneetal.2023, author = {Vladova, Gergana and Ullrich, Andr{\´e} and Sloane, Mona and Renz, Andr{\´e} and Tsui, Eric}, title = {Editorial: new teaching and learning worlds}, series = {Frontiers in education}, volume = {8}, journal = {Frontiers in education}, publisher = {Frontiers Media}, address = {Lausanne}, issn = {2504-284X}, doi = {10.3389/feduc.2023.1175498}, pages = {1 -- 3}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @article{dePaulaMarxWolfetal.2022, author = {de Paula, Danielly and Marx, Carolin and Wolf, Ella and Dremel, Christian and Cormican, Kathryn and Uebernickel, Falk}, title = {A managerial mental model to drive innovation in the context of digital transformation}, series = {Industry and innovation}, journal = {Industry and innovation}, publisher = {Routledge, Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {1366-2716}, doi = {10.1080/13662716.2022.2072711}, pages = {24}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Industry 4.0 is transforming how businesses innovate and, as a result, companies are spearheading the movement towards 'Digital Transformation'. While some scholars advocate the use of design thinking to identify new innovative behaviours, cognition experts emphasise the importance of top managers in supporting employees to develop these behaviours. However, there is a dearth of research in this domain and companies are struggling to implement the required behaviours. To address this gap, this study aims to identify and prioritise behavioural strategies conducive to design thinking to inform the creation of a managerial mental model. We identify 20 behavioural strategies from 45 interviewees with practitioners and educators and combine them with the concepts of 'paradigm-mindset-mental model' from cognition theory. The paper contributes to the body of knowledge by identifying and prioritising specific behavioural strategies to form a novel set of survival conditions aligned to the new industrial paradigm of Industry 4.0.}, language = {en} } @article{HehnMendezUebernickeletal.2019, author = {Hehn, Jennifer and Mendez, Daniel and Uebernickel, Falk and Brenner, Walter and Broy, Manfred}, title = {On integrating design thinking for human-centered requirements engineering}, series = {IEEE software}, volume = {37}, journal = {IEEE software}, number = {2}, publisher = {Inst. of Electr. and Electronics Engineers}, address = {Los Alamitos}, issn = {0740-7459}, doi = {10.1109/MS.2019.2957715}, pages = {25 -- 31}, year = {2019}, abstract = {We elaborate on the possibilities and needs to integrate design thinking into requirements engineering, drawing from our research and project experiences.

It looks at how the concept has been appropriated in organizations and also describes patterns of design thinking adoption. The authors use a mixed-method research design fed by two sources: questionnaire data and semi-structured personal expert interviews. The study proceeds in six parts: (1) design thinking¹s entry points into organizations; (2) understandings of the descriptor; (3) its fields of application and organizational localization; (4) its perceived impact; (5) reasons for its discontinuation or failure; and (6) attempts to measure its success. In conclusion the report challenges managers to be more conscious of their current design thinking practice. The authors suggest a co-evolution of the concept¹s introduction with innovation capability building and the respective changes in leadership approaches. It is argued that this might help in unfolding design thinking¹s hidden potentials as well as preventing unintended side-effects such as discontented teams or the dwindling authority of managers.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Gumienny2013, author = {Gumienny, Raja Carola}, title = {Understanding the adoption of digital whiteboard systems for collaborative design work}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-72417}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2013}, abstract = {User-centered design processes are the first choice when new interactive systems or services are developed to address real customer needs and provide a good user experience. Common tools for collecting user research data, conducting brainstormings, or sketching ideas are whiteboards and sticky notes. They are ubiquitously available, and no technical or domain knowledge is necessary to use them. However, traditional pen and paper tools fall short when saving the content and sharing it with others unable to be in the same location. They are also missing further digital advantages such as searching or sorting content. Although research on digital whiteboard and sticky note applications has been conducted for over 20 years, these tools are not widely adopted in company contexts. While many research prototypes exist, they have not been used for an extended period of time in a real-world context. The goal of this thesis is to investigate what the enablers and obstacles for the adoption of digital whiteboard systems are. As an instrument for different studies, we developed the Tele-Board software system for collaborative creative work. Based on interviews, observations, and findings from former research, we tried to transfer the analog way of working to the digital world. Being a software system, Tele-Board can be used with a variety of hardware and does not depend on special devices. This feature became one of the main factors for adoption on a larger scale. In this thesis, I will present three studies on the use of Tele-Board with different user groups and foci. I will use a combination of research methods (laboratory case studies and data from field research) with the overall goal of finding out when a digital whiteboard system is used and in which cases not. Not surprisingly, the system is used and accepted if a user sees a main benefit that neither analog tools nor other applications can offer. However, I found that these perceived benefits are very different for each user and usage context. If a tool provides possibilities to use in different ways and with different equipment, the chances of its adoption by a larger group increase. Tele-Board has now been in use for over 1.5 years in a global IT company in at least five countries with a constantly growing user base. Its use, advantages, and disadvantages will be described based on 42 interviews and usage statistics from server logs. Through these insights and findings from laboratory case studies, I will present a detailed analysis of digital whiteboard use in different contexts with design implications for future systems.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Lindberg2013, author = {Lindberg, Tilmann S{\"o}ren}, title = {Design-Thinking-Diskurse : Bestimmung, Themen, Entwicklungen}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-69704}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2013}, abstract = {Der Untersuchungsgegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit ist, die mit dem Begriff „Design Thinking" verbundenen Diskurse zu bestimmen und deren Themen, Konzepte und Bez{\"u}ge herauszuarbeiten.
