Profile of Student Design Thinking in Developing Learning Media

Abstract

Design thinking is interesting to study because it explains the process of solving problems creatively according to the needs of Society 5.0. This study aimed to obtain a design thinking profile of students in developing monopoly science learning media with temperature. The research method used was qualitative research with PPG students at the PGRI Madiun University as subjects who received assignments at SMPN 11 Madiun. Through observation and in-depth interviews, some research results were obtained. In developing monopoly science learning media, students carry out the design thinking stages, namely: interviewing and profiling for needs analysis (at the empathy stage), conducting restrictions and discussions to determine design challenges (at the define stage), independently generating ideas, discussing, and determining common ideas (at the ideate stage), discussing and making rules of the game and discussing making prototypes (at the prototype stage), conducting trials, and seeking input for improvement (at the test stage). To carry out this activity, students carry out information processing in their minds, namely: processing input information from interview answers and written profiling questionnaire answers, collecting, comparing (information and experience), and drawing conclusions (which are represented in the form of data on student needs), collecting comparing ( information and experience) and draw conclusions (represented in the form of a design challenge), elicit (information and experience), collect information (from discussions), and draw conclusions (which are represented in the form of ideas to create monopoly learning media on temperature Science), collect material and tools and assembling it (so that a prototype of the temperature IPA monopoly is formed), conducting trials of its application and identifying its deficiencies (which are represented in the form of observations on the application of the temperature IPA monopoly and suggestions for improvement of the next prototype). The principle of design thinking is identical to the Plomp model R&D research method, namely, at the empathize, define, and ideate stages (students carry out the preliminary phase), the prototype stage (students carry out prototyping phase), and the test (students carry out the assessment phase).
