Seventy-five percent of the DTSC participants were frompublic schools, and twenty-five percent from private institutions.Parents were encouraged to engage through session visits and exchange with faculty andstaff. Throughout the two-week DTSC, parents interacted with faculty on a regular basisand many attended the final DTSC student presentations.DTSC participants achieved the following outcomes associated with the introduction andfundamental development of basic design thinking skills and competencies:1.

In the next section we delve in the theory ofcognition process of learning and focus on the concept of mental imagery.3 Mental Imagery in Concept Learning3.1 Theory of Mental Imagery in Cognition ResearchThe concept of mental imagery has been well-established in the field ofcognitive science. It is widely accepted that human thinking involves non-verbal elements7 , namely, mental images. The term images here is notlimited to visual imagery. It can include, for example, imagery associatedwith hearing. Pavio proposes the Dual-Coding Theory8 to characterize theprocess of cognition. Unlike linguistic elements, the

In order to ensure all students were given the opportunity tocomplete the coding interview in a single 2-hour lab session, each teaching staff interviewer wasassigned at most 8 students to interview. The scheduling was straightforward as each lab sectionof 20-30 students was already assigned a graduate TA and 2-3
