Participatory Design Thinking: A User-Centered Approach to Computer Science Innovation

Nicholas Obudho Simon · European Journal of Information Technologies and Computer Science · 2024

Traditional design thinking, while valuable, has limitations in user involvement. This paper proposes Participatory Design Thinking (PDT), a novel approach that addresses these limitations by placing users at the core of the entire design process in computer science (CS) projects (2). In this study, the shortcoming of traditional design thinking in user centricity was discussed and core principles and benefits of PDT are presented. Then, the practical implementation of PDT in CS, including user selection, training, and integration throughout the design stages were investigated. Finally, the potential impact of PDT on CS innovation and propose directions for future research were explored.
