ABSTRACT

This study aimed to develop a design thinking-based University–Industry–Community Collaboration (UICC) education program centered on the healing wellness care industry and to analyze its effectiveness in enhancing student competencies and satisfaction. The program was implemented over 13 weeks at an innovative convergence university using a blended learning format, including online lectures, field visits, and a one-day ideathon. A mixed-methods approach was employed, incorporating pre- and post-surveys, project reports, and satisfaction questionnaires. Results indicated statistically significant improvements in students’ digital convergence skills and creative problem-solving abilities, along with high overall satisfaction. Field-based and project-driven learning contributed to practical problem-solving, empathy, and career exploration. The study demonstrates the potential of a design thinking-integrated UICC model as an effective strategy for competency-based education in higher education.
