An Exploratory Study of Artificial Intelligence in Promoting Creative and Sustainable Science Education

Abstract

This study explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in promoting creative and sustainable science education. As educational systems face increasing pressure to adapt to rapid technological advancements and address environmental challenges, AI offers promising solutions for transforming science learning. By reviewing existing literature and case studies, the researcher examines how AI-driven tools such as adaptive learning systems, intelligent tutoring systems (ITS), and virtual labs can enhance both creativity and sustainability in science education. These AI tools enable personalized learning experiences, support creative problem-solving, and foster deeper engagement with scientific concepts while reducing reliance on physical resources through resource-efficient methods. The study also addresses the challenges of AI integration, particularly the digital divide in developing regions, and emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among educators, policymakers, and technology developers. Thus, AI’s role in curriculum design and resource optimization is discussed, providing a framework for creating future-ready education systems that prepare students for the demands of an increasingly complex world. The study concludes that AI enhanced critical thinking, creativity, and sustainability literacy among students, which offers valuable insights for advancing science education in both developed and developing settings.
