She is 40 years old and has previous informal experience in beauty practices such as makeup and manicure. Her main weaknesses are her low self-confidence and low self-confidence in her possibilities for labor inclusion due to her poor academic background. All of this results in a need for empowerment, which would favor their inclusion in the labor market. Empathize Put on the other person’s shoes and walk around in them for a while! This phase is aimed at sharing and understanding María Gabriela’s feelings and needs in order to help her in her process of empowerment and labor inclusion. In addition, it is intended to evaluate the initial level of the competencies to be developed during the Design Thinking (DT) process. Timing Session 1. Day to day activity Session 2. Video display and evaluation thermometers Session 3. Repetition of the process Session 4. Initial evaluation tests To get to know María Gabriela better, the educator uses the activity Day by day. This will allow her to discover aspects of the person’s day-to-day life by watching the video she has made and then clarifying different aspects and commenting on them together. Based on the information shared, the educator assesses this phase using the Evaluation thermometers. These data allow us to determine the openness shown by María Gabriela during the video and at the time of commenting on it. In addition, it also assesses whether the time spent was sufficient, as well as the degree of satisfaction with the information obtained. Educator Opening 3 Time spent 2 Satisfaction 2 The measures obtained reflect an unfavorable evaluation, given that in two of the thermometers (time spent and satisfaction), the educator considers that she has not been able to empathize with María Gabriela. With several scores below 3 out of 5 points, the intervention must be adjusted before moving on to the next phase of the DT process. The educator, requesting the necessary permissions, decides to spend a day in the company of Maria Gabriela, which makes it easier for her to empathize with her and thus move on to the next phase of the DT process. Once Maria Gabriela and the educator have achieved an adequate level of empathy, it is time to proceed with the initial competency assessment. The evaluation instruments used are: the Creative Imagination Test for Adults (PIC-A), the CREA test, as well as an adaptation of the Situational Test of Development of Basic Employability Competencies (DCBE). The information gathered will be useful to evaluate at the end of the process whether the DT methodology has promoted improvements that favor greater autonomy and empowerment in María Gabriela towards her labor inclusion. The results of the initial assessment indicate a low number of responses by Maria Gabriela to a given situation, as well as difficulties in questioning different problems. Also noteworthy are the low scores for teamwork. Define What are your day-to-day challenges? Define them and prioritize them to begin to address them. This phase is aimed at improving Maria Gabriela’s ability to identify her problems and needs, define them concretely and decide where to start. Timing Session 5. Definition and prioritization of challenges Session 6. Evaluation thermometers In this phase, given the degree of knowledge of the educator having spent a day with Maria Gabriela, both collaborate to be able to express the needs that she might present. In this way, with the guidance of the educator, Maria Gabriela is able to systematically explore and identify different needs and define them in a concrete and operational way using the Definition formula (Description of the person + NEEDS + need + WHY + personal situation): Challenge 1 Maria Gabriela NEEDS to expand her network of friends BECAUSE she feels lonely in her host country. Challenge 2 Maria Gabriela NEEDS to broaden her academic training BECAUSE it could increase her chances of finding a job. Challenge 3 Maria Gabriela NEEDS to improve her self-esteem and empower herself BECAUSE she wants to enter the job market in the field of aesthetics. Maria Gabriela must now decide which of the needs will be her first challenge. For this purpose, different criteria are presented to her to be taken into account: the time frame for its achievement (short, medium or long term), its level of difficulty (easy, medium or difficult), the degree to which she believes she will be able to meet the challenge (expectations of success) and the locus of control (whether the resolution of the problem depends solely on herself, depends on other people or is mixed). Two tools are used for the application of these criteria: the Axis of evaluations to classify the ideas according to difficulty and temporality and the Analogical scales which assess expectations of success and locus of control. María Gabriela decides to solve in the first instance the Challenge 3. Although he considers it difficult, he believes that with a manageable level of effort he could solve it in the short term. She therefore finds it particularly motivating and recognizes that she is more dependent on herself. Once this phase is completed, both the educator and Maria Gabriela evaluate the achievement of the main objective of this phase through the Evaluation thermometersThe identification of needs, their definition and the decision of which challenge to face. In this case, both assess the thermometers, so the educator explains in detail to María Gabriela the self-assessment process and the indicators used. Maria Gabriela Specific definition/requirements operation 3 Identification of different needs 3 Decision making adequate/motivating 4 Educator Specific definition/requirements operation 3 Identification of different needs 3 Decision making adequate/motivating 3 The evaluation is favorable (score equal to or higher than 3 out of 5 in all thermometers), so it is possible to move on to the next phase of the process. The progressive increase in María Gabriela’s self-confidence and motivation is noteworthy, as she scored 4 out of 5 on the “appropriate and motivating decision making” thermometer.https://thinklusion.webs.uvigo.es/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Thinklusion-Modelos-Fases-Empatizar.png
