Social innovation leads to more diverse methods for design education, which helps design education response to social trends and needs. Social change has brought about the transformation of teaching objects for design education courses, which can provide the public with more opportunities to recognise and understand design. Through the introduction of the ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation) model in teaching design pattern through social innovation, this paper explores the system design construction of a design education course. Using the teaching practice for the course “Three-dimensional Composition” in the product design major at Tianjin University of Technology as an example and relying on a process of analysing, designing, developing, implementing and evaluating, this paper launches a design plan for design education courses. Students’ learning satisfaction is used to measure the course design, and the latest course works of applied research results in 2020 will be displayed to show students’ self-confidence and satisfaction after class. The research described in this paper attempts to construct the teaching design of design courses based on the ADDIE model. It is intended to analyse the multi-dimensional connection of design education: meeting the expectations of college students seeking to acquire design knowledge and social experience, cultivating students’ interest, and enhancing their design achievement and confidence. Moreover, this paper seeks to shed light on ways to reform design course teaching so that the design education results are more in line with the needs and expectations of the times and society.

Main issue: This article aims to measure intercultural teamwork competence and assess its impact on career competitive advantages for design students in order to determine how effective and competitive team members are in culturally diverse settings. Sampling: there were 51 participants (48 effective) in pretesting and 405 (338 effective) in formal testing. Participants were students from three colleges of design in Zhejiang Province of China. Statistical tool: this study used the on-line platform of wenjuanxing (wjx.cn) for data collection and SPSS software for data analysis. Methods: data were collected through on-line questionnaires, and then processed through factor analysis, t-test, and stepwise regression. Results: (1) TWC-CQ scale was formed to measure intercultural teamwork competence; (2) there were no statistically significant differences among participating design students (junior and senior) in intercultural teamwork competencies; (3) key competitive advantage = 0.347 × T-behavioral CQ + 0.232 × T-metacognitive CQ + 0.172 × T-motivational CQ + 0.124 × T-cognitive CQ. Conclusions: intercultural teamwork competence and its positive impact on design students’ competitive advantages could be measured. Implications: theoretical and practical implications were summed up for future studies.

This article aims to target the key factors that could positively affect crowdfunding success for green products in order to promote crowdfunding efficiency and green supply chain management. Methods: Data were collected through expert interviews and questionnaires and then processed through analytic hierarchy process (AHP) analysis. Statistical tool: This study used Expert Choice as the software for AHP analysis. Sampling: There were 20 participants (20 effective) in pretesting and 30 (23 effective) in formal testing. Participants were followers of green products in Taiwan. Results: (1) Twenty-four factors were abstracted to form the final construct; (2) the 24 key factors could be divided into 2 hierarchies, with 5 primary factors and 19 secondary factors; (3) among the 5 primary factors, “green diversified context” was the most influential; (4) among the 19 secondary factors, “product material is safe and non-toxic” was the most important. Conclusions: Funders would be likely to finance green products on crowdfunding platforms if these products fit the 24 key factors in orders. Implications: This research contributes to product life cycle theory and crowdfunding theory and practically improves the sustainability of green products.
