Abstract: Abstract The goal of design thinking training is to prepare participants to transfer what they learn in the classroom to real world scenarios. Because context influences transfer, a crucial step towards developing a transfer measure is understanding differences between training contexts and applied contexts. This chapter presents a study that investigates the influence academic contexts have on design thinking. We found three general influences; Supports for Learning Design, Self-differentiation of Design, and Internal Responses. Additionally, we outline three pilot studies that explore influences a range of applied contexts have on design thinking.
