Hello. My name is Yiming and I'm a PhD candidate in Industrial Engineering. My PhD project focuses on serious games for teaching innovation processes.
I would like to know what are the key elements (essence) of the teaching of innovation processes.
This information is really important for designing effective serious games.
Thank you so much.
You might like to have a look at these two reports in which we describe a fundamental reframing of learnign in engineering as engioneering habits of mind along with some suggested signature pedagogies -

Hello there, as far as I understand innovation is an on going process wherein specs need to be on a constant rewinding reviewing replacement sprees which matches the learning outcome to that of the recipients. Hence the teaching /learning must be engineered keeping in view the level of understanding ,content and objectives to further enhance the students thinking towards innovative solutions. With a vast teaching experience over the years, my personal philosophy is "each has a master mind only need to help idently, nurture and show the right direction, let it go thru a pathway that is innovating towards achieving goals that are rewarding and makes sense for further discussions yo this never ending creatives cycle". So do not fix or bind the teaching and learning process with any specificities, let the process be continues.
Dear Ms. Ma! I see teaching and learning innovation processes as interrelated. Please see enclosed the articles I found on the topic. Hope YOU have a Nice Week! Yours, Bulcsu Szekely
The key is the ability to think outside the box. When you observe a manufacturing process going on, try to create a time and motion study chart and see if there are wastage (in terms of resources or time) and how one may go about reducing those. The other tip is to brain storm all different ideas some of which may sound crazy and evaluate the pros and cons.
Innovation is a process of change. Innovation is an open-ended process that has no fixed end goal. It can therefore not be totally planned and outcomes are always surprising. Learning innovation needs action as well as constant reflection, to make sure the process still heading in the right direction, and no unexpected negative side-effects occur. Innovation does not thrive well in a hierarchical setting, but is most effective in a networked constellation. The best way to learn innovation is problem-based, in practice.
Everyone has the ability to be creative and innovative, but they need someone to help them do so. Also, each person possesses all the eight intelligences, but in different proportions, according to Gardner's theory.
