Abstract With the world requiring innovation, problem-solving, and creativity, the traditional school system has fallen short of equipping learners with the necessary tools to manage real-life challenges. This research explores how Design Thinking is used in schools as a transformative approach that boosts students' critical thinking, collaboration, and innovation. Design Thinking is a human-centered, iterative process that encourages students to thoroughly comprehend problems, develop innovative solutions, build prototypes, and test their ideas in real-world environments.
The research highlights the current awareness, implementation, and hindrances to implementing Design Thinking in educational curricula. From the assessment, a data-driven comparison is made which reads, despite the fact that students and educators do realize the use of the practice, its implementation remains limited due to resource constraints, failure to train teachers, and rigid curricula.
