| Opplysninger | Scoping studies are a methodological approach that reviews the existing body of literature on a selected field of study. This case study draws on a recent piece of research (Yuan & Wu, 2021) that borrows this methodological framework to analyze and evaluate Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offered by Chinese universities with the goal of exploring how design thinking is taught in non-western contexts. The decision of analyzing MOOCs was made in response to the challenges posed by both the pandemic situation and the difficulty of gaining permission to conduct research on in-person teaching. I will share the advantages and challenges of observing MOOCs and elaborate on how the five-stage scoping studies framework allowed me to apply a structured process to analyze available resources by narrowing down the scope of my inquiry step by step. The approach can serve as a methodological guide when it comes to educational research that focuses or touches upon online teaching and learning resources as well as other studies that touch upon newly emerged topics with little prior research.
