Design Thinking is an iterative methodology focused on innovation and solving complex problems; within the management of Venezuelan socio-educational spaces, it combines empathy, creativity, and analysis to improve decision-making, effective communication, and the development of balanced leadership. With the purpose of analyzing the relevance of this tool to strengthen management in Venezuelan secondary education, a qualitative methodology was employed through a systematic literature review under the PRISMA approach, which included an exhaustive search across journals, documents, and books. Based on this analysis, it is evident how educational management at this level investigates and applies new managerial approaches, promoting innovative solutions within a framework of assertive decisions that optimize both institutional reality and learning spaces.
