A Study on the Reinforcement of Conflict Net Function of Design through Growth Thinking in Design Education

Objectives In this study, it is to explore ways to strengthen conflicts through growth-type accidents through growth-type accident methods. Methods To this end, as a basic study that applied the growth-type thinking method to expand and develop the existing conflict management theory, it was established in the literature selection criteria, and domestic and foreign data search was collected through Google Scholar, Web of Science, and KCI, and literature research was conducted through content analysis. The main keywords were “growth-type mindset,” “conflict management,” and “conflict net function reinforcement.” Results To this end, based on the conflict management theory presented in Chapter 2 and the three growth-type ways of thinking presented in Chapter 3, prior research and field theory were discussed in Chapter 4 to strengthen the positive function of conflict according to the three growth-type ways of thinking. Conclusions To this end, first, it flexibly responds to change and uncertainty through the mindset of adaptation, and accepts conflict as an opportunity for learning and growth. Second, it is necessary to lead the conflict in the direction of strengthening teamwork and collaboration by having a group mindset so that designers prioritize common goals and values over individual interests. Third, through an active mindset, potential conflict factors are identified in advance, countermeasures are prepared, and conflicts can be prevented and quickly resolved when they occur.
