The paper explores the application of design thinking in the field of education, examining its potential to revolutionize teaching and learning processes. Design thinking, a human-centered approach that emphasizes empathy, prototyping, and experimentation, has gained significant traction across various industries due to its ability to foster innovation and problem-solving skills. This study delves into the various educational contexts where design thinking has been successfully implemented, highlighting case studies from different countries and educational levels. It analyzes the challenges faced by educators in integrating design thinking into their curricula and discusses strategies for overcoming these obstacles. Furthermore, the paper evaluates the impact of design thinking on student engagement, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving abilities. By synthesizing these findings, the study concludes that design thinking has the potential to transform education, making it more student-centered and adaptable to the ever-evolving demands of the 21st century.
