ABSTRACT

Within the context of fundamental STEM education, the primary objective of this article is to investigate the process of developing lesson plans specifically for the aim of fostering students' capacity for design thinking in the field of science. When it comes to the process of document gathering and analysis, the qualitative research approach is utilized. The outcomes of the study indicate that design thinking makes a substantial contribution to the development of students' creative activities and their ability to engage in problem-solving activities. In addition, it has been demonstrated that design thinking is an extremely efficient method for supporting students in their educational pursuits. Education in the fields of mathematics, science, technology, and engineering are all equally important. while it comes to the field of STEM education, it is essential to adhere to a particular method while developing lesson plans to encourage the growth of design thinking in students. In order to improve the efficiency of STEM education and to provide recommendations regarding areas that need additional research on the subject matter, the purpose of this article is to supply academics and teachers with resources that are pertinent to the subject matter.
