Abstract

Although design thinking as a teaching method has mainly been applied by architecture or economy-related study programmes, in the last decade less business-oriented courses have also discovered the potential of this creative, problem-solving approach. In 2018 Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, Slovakia, piloted design thinking on three courses in the Regional Tourism study programme to test whether it can foster creativity, teamwork and communication, as emphasised by many experts. The paper provides an insight into the lessons, as well as a summary of the participants’ opinions, according to which students were far more active, cooperative and creative than using traditional teaching methods.
