Abstract

Anchored in Constructivist Learning Theory and reinforced by Amabile’s Componential Theory of Creativity, this study examines the manner in which artificial intelligence (AI) facilitates educators in fostering inventive capacities among learners within Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Mathematics, and Science. While extant scholarly discourse underscores AI’s capability to augment personalized instruction, instantaneous feedback, and adaptive learning experiences, only a limited body of literature has scrutinized the extent to which AI shapes learners’ creativity and innovative competencies in STEM-oriented instructional environments, particularly when interpreted through the perspectives of both educators and learners. This scholarly lacuna becomes increasingly evident within basic education settings, where AI implementation remains in its formative stages and exhibits inconsistent levels of comprehension and application. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design, the inquiry elicits perspectives from purposively selected ICT, Mathematics, and Science teachers (n = 10–12) who have incorporated AI-enabled instructional resources, including simulations, adaptive learning platforms, and code assistance applications, together with students (n = 6–8 per discipline) who have participated in AI-supported pedagogical experiences. Data were elicited through semi-structured interviews structured in accordance with the research objectives, emphasizing the identification of teachers’ AI integration practices, learners’ viewpoints, and the motivational as well as inventive outcomes associated with AI-enhanced instructional contexts. The study is anticipated to demonstrate that educators employ a diverse repertoire of AI platforms to cultivate creativity, exploratory learning, and analytical problem resolution, while simultaneously encountering impediments associated with technological accessibility, professional competency development, and congruence with curricular learning outcomes. Learners are likewise expected to regard AI-powered instructional tools as immersive and motivational, particularly because of functionalities such as real-time feedback, individualized learning activities, and interactive simulations that invigorate inventive thinking. Nevertheless, potential constraints, including cognitive burden, excessive reliance on AI, and inadequate instructional facilitation, may likewise emerge. Collectively, the anticipated findings are expected to furnish a more nuanced comprehension of how AI may be pedagogically harnessed to nurture creativity and innovation across ICT, Mathematics, and Science classrooms while simultaneously informing educational policy formulation, teacher professional development initiatives, and the refinement of AI-supported instructional approaches aligned with constructivist and creativity-oriented pedagogical principles
