Meta-Disruptive Leadership as the Basis of a Building a University Art School on AI (80304)
Session: On Demand
Room: Virtual Video Presentation
Presentation Type:Virtual Presentation
A recent article noted that “School leaders have warned that AI poses a “real and present” danger to education…”. In this paper, I argue it is inevitable that managers and educators must accept that the only solution to this ‘danger’ is not only to embrace the potential of AI and immersive technology but to use it to shape a creative educational curriculum.
This paper promotes a new form of education leadership called meta-disruption. This concept of Metadisruption begins with the introduction of a series of systemic shocks to the practices of art and design teaching and education management. These shocks create cracks in the traditional view of creativity and will develop new ways of thinking. For us, the form of these shocks is the use of AI and immersive technology in assessments, feedback mechanisms, and art and design practices themselves. I suggest that this leadership style is needed to usher in much-needed radical change in university art schools. These actions would generate new thinking that will provide students and staff the confidence to explore and develop new creative practices and course developments.
I will present research data from postgraduate students; the data shows that even a limited introduction of meta-disruptive practices has seen a reimagining of old teaching models and infused new vitality into our classrooms. In creative practices, the students have been more engaged in new creative forms, allowing them to construct their understanding of the evolving nature of creativity in the era of AIEd.
