Design thinking and computational thinking: a dual process model for addressing design problems

Abstract This paper proposes a relationship between design thinking and computational thinking. It describes as two prominent ways of understanding how people address problems. suggests that, currently, each is defined theorized in isolation from the other. A two-dimensional ontological space that think addressing problems proposed, based on orientation thinker towards problem solution generality/specificity. Placement within this discussion their leads to suggestion dual process model for model, are processes mirror images other, by which thinkers Thinkers can move fluently two. The makes contribution theoretical foundations questions about might be both investigated taught constituent parts process.
