The objective of this study was to derive a list of creative thinking techniques applied with the requirements of the appropriate technique for the task of fashion design development among the process of fashion product planning. This was done through the analysis of thinking techniques by the type of thinking and idea method. Also, the study presented how each creative thinking technique derived is applied to the task of developing fashion design. The scope of the study was 'Fashion Design Development Task', which corresponds to the design sketch of a fashion item based on the seasonal design concept derived through the fashion design planning stage. Research on the thinking techniques consisted largely of the process of idea thinking, the elements of creative thinking, the patterns and types of thinking. Four studies by Makoto, Michalko, De Bono, and Cox suggesting that the patterns and types of thinking techniques were analyzed for the purpose of this study as empirical studies through FGI of a group of five fashion experts. The analysis results showed that the thinking techniques suitable for the development of fashion design were derived from the technique of fractionation, attributive listing, scamper, morphological analysis, mind mapping, lotus blossom, pattern language, provocative operation, and forced connection. In particular, it can be confirmed that the scamper was treated as an efficient and practical technique in the many studies.

Based on the importance of visual representation for scientific understanding, this study applied visual thinking in elementary science classes. This study analyzed elementary students' visual thinking and investigated the instructional influences. Students' perceptions on the class applying visual thinking were also investigated. The subject were 38 fourth grade students, 18 in experimental group and 20 in control group. For the unit of 'Shadow and mirror', on-line and off-line blended classes were applied in both group because of COVID-19. The experimental group student were asked to construct their own visual thinking, while the control group students used traditional workbook. The results were as follows. First, students' visual thinking can be classified into three different types, which are 'activity recall type', 'result summary type', and 'core concept representation type' based on what they represent rather than how they represent. Second, applying visual thinking in science class showed significant effects on science academic achievement, science related attitude, and creative academic efficacy. Third, students' perceptions on applying visual thinking in science classes were very positive. Students perceived visual thinking activities were interesting and helpful for understanding science. Educational implications of applying visual thinking in elementary science classes were discussed.

Unlike in the past, profit-making companies use design thinking to solve their customers' essential needs rather than just solving problems in a conventional way. Design syncing is a creative strategy to solve problems by using designers' senses and methods in the process of design. Design thinking is a new way of thinking for designers to design their own ways and solve problems. In other words, design thinking can solve complex problems in a new and creative way. In order to realize the necessary functions, an aggregation of relevant elements in accordance with the new law can create an innovative design. Additionally, if a convergence system is applied that is organized and regularly functional to accomplish the functions of different kinds, design-thinking outcomes can make the necessary functions more specific. Through our research, we would like to explore the differential features of design and discuss the direction of design for consumer needs through a case analysis of design thinking with creative convergence system. We would like to propose competitive design product development and creative design thinking through case analysis such as products and systems with design thinking applied. We hope that this research will help businesses and individuals who make design thinking a problem.

This paper focuses on the idea development as a creative thinking process for design innovation. The process of thinking has the thinking structures of abduction and transformation. After we had studied the design thought, we found a structure of a thinking system, and created a creative thinking model with this. Using job analysis, we examined the duster of design jobs, which form the design process, and verified the thinking model. The findings suggest that our idea development has the creative process not only of divergent thinking and convergent one, but also of transformation in design. In same time, the design thinking shows their pattern of transition from abstract concept to concrete object. Between the design jobs, idea development shows higher difficulty than other jobs - marketing, product planning and follow-up. Combining the D-T-C (Divergent-Transformation-Convergent) thinking with abstract-concrete thinking, we designed a DFD(data flow diagram) for an early model of computer mediated thinking system (CMTS). This has implications for design support.

Thinking mode, as the condensation of the internal spirit of a nation, has been inherited till now through abundant historical precipitation, and is also a thinking tool for people to think and solve problems. Different from traditional styles and materials, the way of thinking not only has a more essential impact on design, but also makes traditional culture more vital in design. Taking the influence of Chinese mode of thinking on design thinking as the main research object, in the first place, this paper sorts out the concepts and development of thinking mode and design thinking, and summarizes three characteristics of Chinese mode of thinking: relational, collective and perceptive. Furthermore, it puts forward the influence of thinking mode on design thinking, mainly focusing on the definition of design problems, sub-problem sequencing and solution construction. Last but not least, through a series of Chinese design cases, this paper concretely analyzes how Chinese thinking mode provides national design language for Chinese design.
