Abstract

Design thinking mindset is integrated within various fields. It became essential for any organization to develop individuals’ design thinking mindset due to the positive impact on the whole organization. Design thinking should be an essential component of pre-service teachers’ programs where teachers are facilitators to learning and designers of the learning environment. This study aims to pilot the use of interactive technology in developing preservice teachers’ design thinking mindsets. The participants are pre-service teachers in a university in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). A quantitative study using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used. An online survey was adopted to collect the quantitative data after the semester was ended. The study results showed a positive impact of interactive technology in developing pre-service teachers’ mindsets.
