디자인 씽킹을 활용한 디자인 프로세스 방법론 연구

Background: As consumers' awareness is being changed, there is increased the interest in the methods for developing a new product or service through the creative thinking. Especially the design thinking is a design consulting method being paid much attention from a lot of companies, and even Stanford University in the U.S.A developed and operates an education program of design thinking being referred as 'D School'. However, though Korean education condition is different from that of U.S.A, so it needs to develop design thinking methods suitable for Korean education. Method: This study collected methods having been used in solving various problems in the design field, and recomposed them and then developed the Triple Diamond Process (3DP) as a solution method suitable for the design thinking. The 3DP is a design-development method making users easily recognize by process. For verifying this method's effectiveness, this study conducted the evaluation on this method targeting real students after holding a meeting about this method. Result: The 3DP had the advantage of various research outcomes and references in spite of increasing the time allocation comparing to the existing 4D, and the proposed method could draw out a more specific outcome through the process gathering opinions three times. Also, the proposed 3DP ncluded the test process for its outcome. The result of survey shows that 67.5% testers prefer 3DP method. But, the 4D method had the advantage shortening the design development time, so the 3DP needs to be complemented. Conclusion: As the results from researching the 3DP, proposed in this study, the 3DP was more specific process than the 4D and could develop various designs utilizing several design methods, and the outcome's completeness degree was higher and the design created through this 3DP had very specific characteristics. Besides, the 3DP was a process to be easily accessed to and could be utilized in making educational curricula in the future.
