政府和行业依靠教育机构在为未来的劳动力做好职业创新准备方面发挥关键作用。然而，学生通过实践学习如何创新，而高等教育中实践的机会是有限的。本文提出了一种以学生为主导的创新教育方法，称为课外设计为基础的学习，以此来解决这一挑战。这种模式允许学生在课外环境中练习创新解决方案，以应对真实的、亲社会的和当地的挑战。本文概述了该模型及其在西北大学“为美国设计”项目中的实施情况。调查、日常日记、访谈和观察的结果表明，学生通过成功完成任务、社会说服以及与客户、同行、行业专业人士和教师在实践社区中的替代学习来建立创新自我效能感。此外，学生报告的学习成果由工程技术认证委员会概述。
Government and industry depend on educational institutions to play a pivotal role in preparing the future workforce for careers ininnovation. Yet students learn how to innovate through practice, and opportunities for practice are limited in higher education.This paper addresses this challenge by presenting a new student-led approach to innovation education called ExtracurricularDesign-Based Learning. This model allows students to practice innovating solutions to authentic, pro-social, and local challenges inan extracurricular setting. This paper provides an overview of the model and its implementation in Design for America atNorthwestern University. Findings from surveys, daily diaries, interviews, and observations suggest that students build innovationself-efficacy through successful task completion, social persuasion, and vicarious learning in communities of practice with clients,peers, industry professionals, and faculty. Further, students report achievement in learning outcomes outlined by the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology.
