Resumen

The modern development of education is focused on acquiring special work skills: quick adaptation to working conditions, ability to work in a team, thorough knowledge of digital technologies, which are combined in the design thinking. The purpose of the article is to analyze the problems and prospects of creative design thinking of higher education students in the conditions of digitalization. The work is written on the basis of the use of general scientific cognitive research methods and special pedagogical methods: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, generalization, specification, abstraction, observation. The results of the study analyzed the importance of digitization of education and design thinking, the history of the concept of "design thinking" and the peculiarities of its use, problems of using digital education in design thinking. The conclusions summarize that the correct use of this technique can not only create a creative learning atmosphere but also affect its effectiveness in general. In order for the design thinking technology to be as effective as possible, we offer our own recommendations for its use: systematic identification of empathy by teachers for students, critical analysis of the application of this technique, its constant improvement, experimentation with various tasks.
