Scopus Design Thinking & Creative Thinking.csv

Design thinking and creative thinking skills have a significant impact on fostering innovation across various fields, especially education and technology development. However, the mapping of research related to these two concepts still requires a comprehensive understanding to identify global collaboration trends and patterns. This study aims to examine the thematic trends, evolution of concepts, and collaborative connections between countries through a bibliometric method. To map keyword, author, and international collaboration networks, keywords were analyzed using Scopus database and VOS viewer software. Design thinking relates more to innovation, design education, and sustainability, whereas creative thinking relates more to problem solving, active learning, and critical thinking according to the analysis. Trends include the United States, China and Indonesia as being dominant in terms of international scientific collaboration, and a prospective strengthening of ties between European and East Asian countries. The visualization of knowledge networks and the mapping of international collaborations is the second key contribution of this research and providing opportunities for fure research. It is anticipated that this finding will be a reference for researchers and practitioners in conducting more integrated and useful research in the future.

设计思维（Design Thinking）与创造性思维技能对各领域的创新培育均具有显著推动作用，尤其在教育与技术研发领域。然而，要绘制针对这两类概念的相关研究图谱，仍需依托全面梳理方能明晰全球科研合作的趋势与模式。本研究旨在通过文献计量学（Bibliometrics）方法，剖析相关研究的主题趋势、概念演进历程以及国家间的合作关联。为绘制关键词、作者及国际合作网络图谱，本研究依托Scopus数据库与VOSviewer可视化软件对关键词展开分析。分析结果显示，设计思维更多关联于创新、设计教育与可持续发展，而创造性思维则更聚焦于问题解决、主动学习与批判性思维。当前国际科研合作领域的主导国家为美国、中国与印度尼西亚，且欧洲与东亚国家间的合作纽带有望进一步强化。本研究的第二大核心贡献在于实现了知识网络的可视化与国际合作图谱的绘制，同时为后续研究提供了新的契机。本研究成果有望为未来开展更具整合性与实用价值研究的科研人员与行业从业者提供参考依据。
