Course Title: Life System Design Thinking (LSDT)
Description: LSDT is an engaging exploration of personal, social, and societal dimensions crucial for navigating today’s complex world. Through in-depth analysis and systematic thinking, students learn to design holistic life plans that promote personal growth, meaningful relationships, and positive societal impact. By examining core life systems and integrating diverse perspectives, learners craft balanced and thoughtful approaches to life, fostering self-awareness and societal well-being.
Course Learning Outcomes
Students who complete this course will be able to:
- Demonstrate proficiency in thoroughly analyzing individual and societal life systems and identifying key components, challenges, opportunities, and interconnections between various systems, illustrating a deep understanding of how individual actions impact broader personal, social, and societal contexts.
- Apply systematic thinking and design principles to create a cohesive and balanced /SMART life plan that integrates learnings from each central life system and cultivates a daily life habit of reflection and self-awareness.
- Acquire and enhance the necessary knowledge and skills related to personal growth, relationship-building, family dynamics, professional development, financial literacy, and societal impact.
- Effectively apply the designed life plan in real-world scenarios, integrating the principles of the “Me System,” “Relation System,” “Family System,” “Expert/Money System,” and “Friends/Social Systems” into daily life.
- Develop the ability to critically assess the effectiveness of the implemented life plan, identifying areas of success and areas for improvement.
