    Practical Logic and Future Trends of Artificial Intelligence Empowering Environmental Design Education

    by Wenliang Ye

    Learning & Education, Vol.14, No.2, 2025; 12 Views

    With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technologies in areas such as image generation, spatial simulation, and behavior recognition, environmental design education is undergoing a profound paradigm shift. Based on the context of AI empowerment, this paper systematically analyzes the practical logic and reconstruction pathways of artificial intelligence in environmental design education, covering multiple dimensions including curriculum content, competency structures, course systems, evaluation mechanisms, and educational ethics. The study highlights that while AI enhances teaching efficiency, boosts creative expression, and expands design logic, it also brings challenges related to students’ creative subjectivity, cultural diversity in expression, and fairness in evaluation. As “human-machine collaboration” becomes a new norm in teaching, environmental design education must move beyond tool-dependent thinking and construct an instructional framework that integrates intelligent generation, humanistic judgment, and systemic capabilities. The paper emphasizes the need to transition from “technological embedding” to “value co-construction” in order to achieve sustainable innovation and deep transformation in environmental design education.

    A Study on the Influence of Implicit Theories of Intelligence on Creative Behavior among Calligraphy Majors in Chinese Universities

    by Wen Zhao, Yang Yu

    Learning & Education, Vol.14, No.2, 2025; 3 Views

    As a key indicator for evaluating innovative talent, creative behavior occupies a central position in art education. For calligraphy majors, creative behavior not only reflects students’ cognitive ability and artistic literacy, but also determines their capacity to develop personal styles and creative expression based on traditional techniques. This study focuses on the influence mechanism of “implicit theories of intelligence” on the creative behavior of calligraphy majors, aiming to fill the research gap in this field and explore its practical significance and educational strategies. Based on Dweck’s theory of implicit intelligence, and supported by relevant literature, this research analyzes the positive effects of such beliefs on creative behavior from three perspectives: stimulating a sense of challenge, enhancing confidence and perseverance, and activating intrinsic motivation. The study reveals that students with a high level of incremental belief in intelligence are more likely to demonstrate stronger adaptability and creativity when facing creative challenges, thereby promoting the sustainable development of their creative behavior. Accordingly, this paper suggests that calligraphy education should systematically introduce “growth mindset” training, create a teaching environment that encourages exploration and tolerates failure, and incorporate the cultivation of intelligence beliefs into the educational system, in order to comprehensively improve students’ creative ability and artistic expression. This research holds significant theoretical and practical value for optimizing art education models and promoting students’ holistic development.

A video game can change the brain, may improve empathy in middle schoolers

2018-09-12

A space-exploring robot crashes on a distant planet. In order to gather the pieces of its damaged spaceship, it needs to build emotional rapport with the local alien inhabitants. The aliens speak a different language but their facial expressions are remarkably humanlike.

This fantastical scenario is the premise of a video game developed for middle schoolers by University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers to study whether video games can boost kids' empathy, and to understand how learning such skills can change neural connections in the brain.

Results published this week in npj Science of Learning (a Nature journal) reveal for the first time that, in as few as two weeks, kids who played a video game designed to train empathy showed greater connectivity in brain networks related to empathy and perspective taking. Some also showed altered neural networks commonly linked to emotion regulation, a crucial skill that this age group is beginning to develop, the study authors say.

Robots have power to significantly influence children's opinions

2018-09-12

Young children are significantly more likely than adults to have their opinions and decisions influenced by robots, according to new research.

The study, conducted at the University of Plymouth, compared how adults and children respond to an identical task when in the presence of both their peers and humanoid robots.

It showed that while adults regularly have their opinions influenced by peers, something also demonstrated in previous studies, they are largely able to resist being persuaded by robots.

However, children aged between seven and nine were more likely to give the same responses as the robots, even if they were obviously incorrect.
