Human-Machine Collaboration, Creativity Development, Literature ReviewAbstract
With the integration of the "AI+" era into society, the importance of creativity has grown. The human-machine collaboration model, spurred by "AI + Education," aims to reshape the teaching ecosystem and enhance effectiveness. However, research on its impact on student creativity development remains insufficiently systematic.To address this, this paper defines key concepts of human-machine collaboration and creativity, then systematically reviews 81 domestic and international journal articles using a literature synthesis approach. It further distills a research framework and discusses three core themes:Instructional Mechanism Design: How AI reshapes the foundation for cultivating creativity;The Creativity Paradox: Efficacy gains versus hidden costs in human-machine collaboration;The Ethical Dilemma: Structural tensions between technological rationality and humanistic values.Finally, it outlines future research directions. This study holds significant importance for clarifying the current research landscape in this field.
