In this context, Design Thinking has emerged as a powerful and flexible approach that places learners at the centre of the educational process. This paper explores the concepts, models, and pedagogical relevance of Design Thinking in contemporary classrooms. Using a qualitative review of recent studies and theoretical discussions, the article highlights how Design Thinking encourages active participation, empathy, collaboration, and innovation among students. It also examines how this approach reshapes the role of teachers and redefines classroom practices. While the benefits of Design Thinking are significant, issues such as lack of training, time constraints, and assessment challenges remain. The paper argues that Design Thinking, if thoughtfully integrated, can play a vital role in preparing learners for the uncertainties and demands of the 21st century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Design Thinking, 21st Century Learning, Innovation, Student-centred Pedagogy, Experiential Learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 327-334<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/327-334.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Miss Soma Shit , Mr. Furgal Saren &amp; Dr. Chinmay Ghosh DOI Link:https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/04030040 Abstract: Education today is no longer confined to memorization or passive learning; rather, it is increasingly focused on nurturing creativity, problem-solving, and adaptability among learners.
