碩士 === 國立東華大學 === 課程設計與潛能開發學系 === 101 === In the teaching of an accessory design course for the department of the vocat ional beaut ician high school , the generat ion of a design concept to learners is an abst ract concept. It is hard to put i t in words. In the process of construct ing the concept , by using the convent ional way of passing knowledge, learners usual ly feel at loss grabbing the abst ract idea as not being able to form an intel l igent representat ion to a design concept . Based on the observation, this study targets the senior students of the vocational beautician department, using "graphics" and "real works" as tools for the case study, through visualized training and leading students to develop "visual thinking" and "design thinking", through qualitative research to explore the development of the case studies betwiin teachers and students. Study shows using "graphics" and "real works" as case study resonates well with students. Through case study students learn "visual thinking" and through visual thinking design thinking, creativity and thought process form. At the operat ion stage, students cont inue the thinking process f rom case study discussions so they, through visual thinking, can observe and learn f rom the works of thei r peers whenever they get stuck and are will ing to help, trust and learn from each other. In addition, under-achieving students wil l no longer feel distant from the high-achieving students and, furthermore, they wi l l find a sense of belonging to the class. Besides discussing cases in the classroom of a vocat ional high school classroom has i ts dif ficulty. The key element to the case study teaching is the discussion on the cases so teachers have to respond to the progress of the teaching scenar io in order to conquer chal lenges and encourage the learners to ful ly express their thinking.
