Abstract

AI has been introduced into design courses to enhance student learning outcomes, foster creativity, provide personalised learning support and improve design productivity. This study integrated AI tools as a facilitative aid in a creative product design course, focusing on examining students' learning outcomes and the creativity of their final products by comparing two groups: the T1 experimental group (AI use) and the T2 control group (no AI use). Students' perspectives of using AI were explored. A total number of 77 undergraduate students majoring in product design at a university in China were recruited for the study. The results indicate that the integration of AI tools into the course significantly enhanced students' learning outcomes and the creativity of their final products. Furthermore, students expressed a positive attitude toward using AI in learning and designing, and a willingness to utilise AI in future design work. Challenges and concerns were also highlighted related to AI use for learning and design.

产品设计教育（PDE）中人工智能（AI）对学生创造力、学习成果和态度影响的比较研究

人工智能已引入设计课程，以提高学生的学习成果，培养创造力，提供个性化学习支持和提高设计生产力。本研究将人工智能工具作为辅助工具整合到创意产品设计课程中，通过比较两组：T1实验组（使用人工智能）和T2对照组（未使用人工智能），重点考察学生的学习成果和最终产品的创造力。探讨了学生使用人工智能的观点。本研究共招募了中国一所大学产品设计专业的77名本科生。结果表明，将人工智能工具整合到课程中可以显著提高学生的学习成果和最终产品的创造力。此外，学生们对在学习和设计中使用人工智能持积极态度，并愿意在未来的设计工作中使用人工智能。与人工智能用于学习和设计相关的挑战和担忧也得到了强调。
