In the ever-evolving landscape of art and design education, we find ourselves at the intersection of tradition and innovation. The theme of "Meta-disruption," as articulated in my course manifesto provides opportunities to explore and challenge the transformative potential of AI and immersive technology in our field. This theme not only sets the stage for a dynamic discourse but also serves as the foundation for a constructivist research approach. Drawing upon the principles embedded in the manifesto, our research seeks to empower Chinese postgraduate art and design practice students to navigate this rapidly changing landscape effectively. We embrace the concept of "Hybrid Creativity," recognizing the symbiotic relationship between human and AI-generated artistic expressions. Through constructivist pedagogy, we encourage students to actively engage in the synthesis of these creative forms, allowing them to construct their understanding of the evolving nature of creativity. Our methodology is rooted in constructivism, which emphasizes the importance of active learning, collaboration, and reflective thinking. We aim to challenge traditional pedagogy by fostering trans-disciplinary collaboration and promoting AI literacy through hands-on experiences. Through constructivist learning environments, students are encouraged to construct their knowledge and meaning, making them active participants in the learning process. By embodying the principles of the "Meta-disruption" theme and employing a constructivist methodology, we aim to redesign teaching to Chinese postgraduate art and design practice students to better equip them with the knowledge, skills, and ethical awareness necessary to navigate the transformative impact of AI and immersive technology in their fields.
