It contributes to the conceptual development of design thinking by considering perspectives within the design disciplines, while also recognizing the emergence of human-centered approaches outside of the design disciplines. The various chapters examine designer-specific perspectives of design thinking and reasoning, discussing how they can inform design thinking practices outside of design disciplines, especially in education, business, and industry. This book also contributes to current research of higher design education through examining research and practice, presenting \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;\"\u003eSynergized Design Thinking (SynDT) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;\"\u003eas an alternative basis for conceptualizing and teaching design thinking. It provides readers with the benefit of understanding and appropriating design thinking concepts from within the design disciplines, as well as case exemplars for reference. This book serves as a helpful resource for designers, design students who would be future designers, non-designers, design educators, K-12 schools, teachers, and adult educators who are seeking to integrate design thinking into their curriculums and teaching practice. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background: white;\"\u003eDr. Joyce Hwee Ling Koh is \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variant-emoji: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-language-override: inherit; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003ea professor at the School of Education, University of Waikato,\u003cspan style=\"background: white;\"\u003e New Zealand.
