Abstract
The ability to think about design and creatively solve problems is essential to realize a sustainable society. Design is not only an aesthetic element, but also plays an important role in problem solving. Design has traditionally been taught in high schools in "Art I," and has been newly introduced in "nformation I." In this study, we examined the bridging between "Information I" and "Art I" in order to improve students' problem-solving abilities based on design. First, based on the concept of subject bridging, which connects the curriculum guidelines and learning contents, the differences between two subjects in terms of design were summarized. Next, we found that students' understanding of design deepened through the class practice of "Art I," which was intended to be linked with "Information I. " Therefore, we proposed a bridging class between "Information I" and "Art I" in which teachers are aware of the characteristics of design treated in each subject, in order to aim to further improve students' abilities while achieving a synergistic effect in their learning.
