AB - The purpose of this study is to develop an interdisciplinary liberal arts course on the theme of artificial intelligence (AI) and ethics, and to examine its effects on two core competencies—integrative thinking and ethical practice. The course titled ‘Artificial Intelligence and Ethics’, selected through a student-participatory liberal arts course design competition, was developed based on the ADDIE model. It was structured as a 15-week course with 3 hours per week, covering both AI technologies and ethical issues related to their application.
The developed course was implemented over one semester, and both a pre-test and a post-test were conducted to assess its impact. The study participants consisted of 72 students enrolled in a four-year university who took the course in the first and second semesters of 2024. The findings were as follows. The combination of student participation and the ADDIE model demonstrated potential as an effective framework for designing convergence liberal arts education. The application of the course significantly contributed to improving students’ integrative thinking competency and ethical practice competency.
These results suggest that the development and implementation of interdisciplinary liberal arts courses positively affect students’ core competencies. Specifically, the course stimulated critical analysis and value judgment, enhancing students' decision-making abilities and thereby improving their integrative thinking and ethical practice skills. Finally, the study discusses its limitations regarding generalizability and proposes directions for comparative and future research.
