ABSTRACT

This study aims to develop and validate the effectiveness of the “B.E.A.T.S.” program, a creative lesson strategy model designed for middle school students by leveraging generative AI-based platforms. The research was conducted over five instructional sessions involving 122 second-year students at Y Middle School in Seoul. The program incorporated a range of activities, including music composition using AI-driven music generation tools, along with prompt-based guidance to facilitate the creative process. Data were meticulously collected through a variety of methods, including surveys, student reflection journals, portfolios, and expert interviews, to provide a comprehensive analysis of students' attitudes toward AI, their interest in music, and their self-efficacy in creative tasks. The findings revealed that students experienced a significant increase in both interest and confidence in music creation when collaborating with AI. Additionally, there was a marked improvement in their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. However, the study also identified certain challenges, such as students developing an overreliance on AI technology and encountering difficulties in mastering basic composition skills. This research underscores the educational potential of integrating generative AI technology into creative lessons, while also addressing the challenges and proposing future strategies and educational approaches to enhance the learning experience.
