The Usage of AI in Teaching and Students’ Creativity: The Mediating Role of Learning Engagement and the Moderating Role of AI Literacy

Abstract
With the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, the application of AI in the field of education has gradually become one of the key factors in improving teaching quality and student abilities. Based on the conservation of resources theory, this study explores how the usage of AI in teaching impacts students’ creativity, exploring the mediating role of learning engagement and the moderating role of AI literacy. The research finds that the usage of AI in teaching significantly enhances students’ creativity, with learning engagement playing a mediating role in this process, thereby promoting creativity improvement. In addition, AI literacy moderates the relationship between the usage of AI in teaching and learning engagement. The results of this study not only expand the application of the conservation of resources theory in the field of education but also emphasize the important role of AI literacy in AI teaching, providing valuable policy suggestions for educational practices.

Talk is cheap: why structural #assessment changes are needed for a time of #GenAI

Abstract
Generative AI (GenAI) challenges assessment validity by enabling students to complete tasks without demonstrating genuine capability. In response to this challenge, institutions have developed and implemented various approaches that aim to communicate permissible AI use to students. Familiar examples include the ‘traffic light’ approach now commonly found within institutional policy. While well-intentioned, these approaches share a common limitation: They focus primarily on communicating rules rather than redesigning assessment mechanics. To clarify why such approaches fail, and to guide more effective responses, this paper introduces a novel conceptual distinction between discursive changes to assessment (modifications relying solely on instructions students remain free to ignore) and structural changes (modifications that reshape the underlying mechanics of assessment tasks themselves). Through a critical analysis of prominent frameworks, we demonstrate that current approaches predominantly rely on discursive changes that create what we term an ‘enforcement illusion’. We find that educational frameworks frequently borrow the language of socially familiar structural systems (like vehicular traffic lights) while lacking their actual enforcement capabilities, creating an illusion of assessment security. In place of this, we argue for a shift towards structural assessment redesign that builds validity into assessment architecture rather than attempting to impose it through unenforceable rules.
