Abstract

This study aims to clarify the necessary interventions for supplementing teachers’ knowledge and skills related to the design process to facilitate the design-based activities in the SDGs Challenge Project. Using a qualitative approach and the SDGs Challenge Project as a case study, this study analysed teachers’ feedback before the project started and post-lesson surveys to determine the difficulties teachers have faced in facilitating the design process in 2021 and 2022. The findings showed that teachers have difficulties understanding design thinking, inadequate facilitation skills, limited content knowledge, and unfamiliarity with the worksheets provided. The educational resources for teachers to guide the design process in this project are necessary. The new educational resource should offer knowledge and the methodology of the design process. In addition, resources on pedagogical strategies to facilitate the design thinking is required. Exemplars of student outcomes for each design task and clear explanations of the purpose of each task is also necessary as a resource.
