Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in organizing experiential activities to develop creative thinking competence for primary school students

Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has opened up many new opportunities in the field of education, particularly in organizing experiential activities for elementary school students. AI can become an effective tool to enhance students' creative thinking abilities. This research aims to explore AI applications for organizing experiential activities to foster creative thinking skills. The research methods include literature surveys, theoretical studies, and an analysis of the characteristics of AI tools in the context of elementary education curricula. The research results show: (1) Experiential activities in elementary schools are suitable for developing creative thinking if teachers flexibly use technological tools and creative learning tasks; (2) Some AI tools, such as ChatGPT, Clipchamp, Learnt.AI, Dreamstudio.AI, etc., effectively support idea generation, rapid graphic design, and the creation of visually creative products; (3) Effective use of AI requires the development of specific learning tasks, aligned with the curriculum, and proper tool selection; (4) The proposed measures are feasible, but teachers need to adjust flexibly and consider the frequency of use to optimize student interest and engagement.
