Design Thinking has become a fundamental tool to revolutionize teaching in vocational education. Beyond being a problem-solving method, this approach offers a framework that encourages creativity, collaboration, and active learning in the classroom.

Teachers who adopt Design Thinking create educational environments where students are the protagonists of their own learning. The process invites exploring problems from multiple perspectives, prototyping solutions, and learning from mistakes without fear of failure, generating a climate of trust and motivation.

This approach not only improves the ability to solve concrete problems but also develops soft skills like communication, teamwork, and empathy, which are indispensable for professional success. For educators, the challenge lies in designing experiences that effectively integrate Design Thinking stages, adapting to the needs and characteristics of their students.

Within the framework of the Education Architects project, didactic materials and training programs are being developed for teachers to facilitate Design Thinking implementation in classrooms. These resources include practical exercises and examples of good practices that help transform teaching into a more innovative, inclusive, and student-centered process.

The goal is to support teachers in guiding their students to develop key competencies, preparing them for a labor market that demands flexibility, creativity, and adaptability.

Thus, Design Thinking is not only a methodology to solve problems but a path to build more humane, dynamic, and effective vocational education.
