Integrating AI and Design Thinking: Primary Teachers’ Teaching Materials

Abstract

Modern life is driven systematically by advanced technology, which encompasses every dimension of daily life. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a critical component in reshaping and developing work structure across various professions. Teaching is one such profession that requires the ability to adapt, learn, and integrate AI into the teaching and learning process. Teaching materials play a vital role in making the learning process more engaging and effective by enhancing understanding, increasing student participation, tailoring content to different student groups, and fostering practical application. This process relies on the use of Design Thinking, a systematic approach to innovation consisting of five steps: empathizing with students, defining the problem, ideating educational materials, prototyping, and testing. Incorporating AI as a tool in these processes allows for the creation of educational materials that are more efficient, convenient, and quick, while being tailored to specific learners’ needs.
