The study explores the application of Design Thinking as an active method in the teaching-learning process, highlighting its potential to enhance student engagement and problem-solving skills. Current educational practices often rely on traditional methods, leading to monotony and disengagement among students. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data from surveys and interviews with teachers, students, and administrators. Findings indicate a lack of awareness among educators regarding Design Thinking as an active learning methodology, resulting in its limited implementation. The study emphasizes the need for teacher training and the development of a didactic guide to facilitate the integration of Design Thinking into educational practices. The methodology promotes creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking, aligning with constructivist and socioconstructivist theories. Results show that students value innovative and creative teaching methods, and that Design Thinking significantly enhances empathy, problem-solving, and collaborative skills. The study concludes that implementing Design Thinking can improve educational outcomes by fostering emotional, social, and cognitive development. A didactic guide is proposed to support the effective application of Design Thinking in educational settings.The study explores the application of Design Thinking as an active method in the teaching-learning process, highlighting its potential to enhance student engagement and problem-solving skills.
