The Reinforcement of Teachers’ Design Thinking in STEM Education by Integrating AI tools - A Literature Review

Summary/Abstract: Integrating design thinking with artificial intelligence (AI) offers a paradigm shift with wide implications in today's landscape of emergent and rapidly changing digital transformation and innovative STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) educational practices. Curriculum design for STEM education requires initial and continuing professional development of teachers for a scientifically and technologically advanced society. Teachers’ design thinking approach usually refers the approach of a specific problem aimed at developing an optimal solution to a challenge through a solution-based approach and supports learners in fostering creativity and critical thinking as two of the four STEM competencies, along with collaboration and communication, and in preparing an innovative mindset that is necessary to openly embrace the challenge. Design thinking is in a synergetic relation with AI's ability to continuously facilitate learning and adaptation to a changeable educational environment as to promote dynamic and flexible STEM learning activities. A limited area of research has been identified on how STEM content can be incorporated into the curriculum at all educational levels, and a systematic review of the learning techniques and teaching methods that are used to support learning in the STEM fields is needed. This study utilizes a literature review of open access journals and books from the WOS and Google Scholar databases.
