Abstract

The frequent use of active methodologies in the classroom has been transforming the educational environment and the teacher/student relationship with the teaching and learning process. design thinking (DT) methodology is one of them and its use is starting to become present in teaching practices. In order to observe the DT in teaching, this research aimed to analyze the objectives and applications of published works on design thinking in the teaching of natural sciences. For this, we carried out a systematic literature review of publications between 2010 and 2020. The research was based on two guiding questions: “What are the objectives of the works published on design thinking in the teaching of natural sciences? And which applications were carried out in these works?”. The results show that the use of design thinking, even if increasing in classrooms, is still little used in the area of ​​natural sciences. In addition, we identified its application in three different ways in the educational sphere (as an innovation approach; as a problem-solving methodology; as a teaching and learning strategy). Although there are difficulties for the insertion of this methodology, the works show that for teachers and students, when this methodology is applied, the results are considered satisfactory. Finally, the use of design thinking as an active methodology in the teaching of natural sciences can contribute to the construction of knowledge in a creative and innovative way.
