Exploring the Use of Artificial Intelligence to Enhance Creativity in Transforming Ideas into Images and Sounds among Grade 8 Students at Cha Nok Rong School

Abstract

This study aimed to (1) examine patterns and characteristics of Artificial Intelligence (AI) use to promote creativity in converting ideas into images and sounds, (2) assess users’ satisfaction with AI as a creativity-support tool, and (3) analyze strategies and propose recommendations for applying AI in school-based learning. The research employed Research & Development (R&D) design. Data were collected from a purposive sample of 30 Grade 8 students at Cha Nok Rong School during the second semester of academic year 2568 (2025). The intervention comprised eight 50-minute sessions. Instruments included an AI-integrated instructional plan and a 5-point Likert questionnaire measuring usability, creativity support, product quality (image and audio), and attitudes (learning experience, intention to continue use, and digital ethics). Content validity was established (IOC = 0.75). Key findings indicated that 60.00% of participants were male, 80.00% were 14 years old, and 66.67% accessed AI via smartphones. Usability yielded an overall mean of 3.57 (interpreted as “high”), creativity support mean = 3.80 (“high”), image quality mean = 3.60 (“high”), and audio quality mean = 3.30 (“moderate”). Attitudinal measures (learning experience, continued-use intention, and digital ethics awareness) averaged 3.87 (“high”), suggesting students’ readiness to continue using AI and an increased awareness of ethical considerations.
