Abstract

In the context of the continuous development of digital and multimedia technologies, it has also reshaped the design industry's demand for design talents. As designers, they not only need to master solid design skills, but also need to form design concepts that are in line with the characteristics of the times, and have innovative design thinking and design methods in the current environment to cope with the new problems and challenges brought by the transformation of design. This study starts from the change of the basic design curriculum and explores the transformation of the educational approach of the design discipline, aiming to help undergraduate students transform their literacy and train them to form design thinking for the future development of the industry. Under the theoretical framework of design thinking and double-diamond model, observation and questionnaire methods are used to propose the BOPPPS design foundation course teaching model. The model consists of six links: introduction, objectives, pre-test, participation, post-test, and summary, and it accomplishes the goal of cultivating students' design thinking and design literacy for the future design industry by advancing the curriculum from figurative to abstract teaching content, from thinking to practice, and by establishing a three-dimensional integrated evaluation model.
