Summary: 
This article explores the application of the design thinking process in teaching Grade 12 Geography topics. The research was conducted using a pedagogical experimental method through the design of post-intervention assessment tools, applied to a randomly selected group of students. The findings show that learners not only improve their geographical competencies and personal qualities but also develop the ability to transform knowledge into products of practical value. This study serves as an initial attempt to integrate design thinking into Geography instruction — a new approach aimed at innovating teaching methods in the modern educational context. Accordingly, the study contributes to both the theoretical foundation of Geography education and offers a concrete, feasible instructional model that helps teachers meet the demands of the 2018 General Education Program, thereby fostering a creative and humanistic learning environment.
