《Design Thinking Applying in Career Guidance Course 》is an academic monograph by Dr. Sun Zhongmiao, developed from his doctoral dissertation in education. Grounded in the field of career planning education, this work systematically investigates the operational mechanisms and practical approaches of Design Thinking pedagogy in enhancing students' career self-efficacy.

The study employs Bandura's self-efficacy theory as its theoretical foundation and adopts a quasi-experimental research design to conduct a comparative analysis of the effectiveness between traditional teaching methods and Design Thinking-based instruction. Research findings demonstrate that Design Thinking pedagogy significantly improves students' competencies across five critical dimensions: career goal setting, problem-solving skills, career information acquisition, career planning formulation, and self-evaluation refinement. Through comprehensive case studies, the monograph presents the practical application of the five-phase instructional methodology - "Discover-Interpret-Ideate-Experiment-Iterate" - supported by empirical validation using statistical analysis techniques including structural equation modeling.

The innovative contributions of this work are twofold: it provides educators with an operational curriculum design framework while establishing a theory-practice integrated guidance system for career education researchers, policymakers, and learners. Its core value lies in achieving three-dimensional integration of "cognitive enhancement-belief formation-behavior cultivation" through student-centered interactive learning, ultimately realizing the career development goal of unifying knowledge with practice. Combining academic rigor with practical relevance, this monograph serves as an essential reference for researchers and practitioners in the fields of education, psychology, and career planning.
