Information Literacy in the Design Thinking Process - A Preliminary Research

The main problem of research study was to explore and capture the relationship between Information Literacy and Design Thinking processes in the didactic context. The study was carried out in two groups of students who participated in classes where Design Thinking was used. The first group was represented by people studying at the first-cycle studies in the field of electronic information processing (humanities and information technology studies); the second group consisted of students from second-cycle studies in the field of information management (studies in the field of social sciences). In both groups, the author of the paper conducted classes and moderated the Design Thinking process. The study was conducted using a quantitative method, supplementing survey research by a critical analysis of the literature, comparative analysis, and statistical methods.
