Abstract

The article deals with the issue of developing children’s proactivity using design thinking as a method of education for sustainable development. In the context of the ongoing climate crisis, the main objective of the research was to determine how the design thinking method develops children's proactivity towards nature. The methodology was based on action research, which was conducted in a constructivist, interpretive paradigm. The analysis of the obtained results showed that during the design thinking process, which consisted of four stages: “Feel”, “Design”, “Act” and “Inspire”, children developed their proactivity and initiative by, among others, observing and diagnosing the problems of the surrounding reality, developing the skills of negotiation, decision making, active learning, goal setting, designing their own action, searching for information, constructing problem solving strategies, evaluating their own actions, and managing the learning process.
