Introduction
Design thinking is a dynamic problem-solving model that emphasizes empathy and creativity, making it applicable not just in technology but across various educational contexts. This methodology encourages educators to engage students in real-world projects, enhancing their inquiry-based learning experiences. By following a structured inquiry cycle—empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test—teachers can guide students in addressing complex problems collaboratively. This article discusses how design thinking can be integrated into classroom practices, providing educators with practical examples and insights from the field.
