Creativity is an essential aspect of design thinking. Being able to describe creativity and creative processes is important for developing future designers. While much research has been undertaken describing creativity in design, there is very little investigating how creativity and creative thinking varies across disciplines. A coding scheme involving six separate codes was developed initially from the literature, refined and then used to describe how creativity and creative thinking was apparent in the DTRS 10 datasets of Junior Industrial Design, Graduate Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering, Choreography and Entrepreneurship.

Polysemy In Design Review Conversations, Georgi V. Georgiev, Toshiharu Taura
Design Thinking Research Symposium
This paper examines the role of polysemy, defined as the quality of having multiple meanings, in design review conversations.

Furthermore, the polysemy of …
