The article "Design Thinking as an Active Method in the Teaching-Learning Process" by MSc, Daysi Tatiana Calderón Caiza, explores the importance of incorporating active learning methodologies in education to address the needs of students and enhance their problem-solving skills. The study highlights the lack of awareness among teachers about Design Thinking, a methodology that fosters creativity, collaboration, and empathy. Through a mixed-methods research approach, including surveys and interviews with 40 participants (33 students, 5 teachers, and 2 authorities), the research reveals that while both teachers and students recognize the value of innovative and creative methodologies, there is a significant gap in the implementation of Design Thinking due to insufficient teacher training. The findings suggest that the integration of Design Thinking can significantly improve student motivation, creativity, and problem-solving abilities, aligning with contemporary educational theories that emphasize critical thinking, collaboration, and emotional intelligence. The study concludes by proposing the development of a didactic guide to help teachers implement Design Thinking in their classrooms, thereby enhancing the overall educational experience.The article "Design Thinking as an Active Method in the Teaching-Learning Process" by MSc, Daysi Tatiana Calderón Caiza, explores the importance of incorporating active learning methodologies in education to address the needs of students and enhance their problem-solving skills.
