Abstract

The rapid iteration and practical application of generative artificial intelligence (AIGC) have reconstructed the teaching ecology and creative practice logic of vocational digital media art education, and also posed new challenges to the cultivation and development of students' creative agency. As the core literacy of vocational digital media art talents, creative agency is reflected in students' autonomous thinking construction, aesthetic expression, practical exploration and innovative breakthrough capabilities in artistic creation. Taking vocational digital media art education as the research field, this paper combines constructivist learning theory, digital literacy framework and creative development theory to analyze the connotative characteristics and constituent dimensions of students' creative agency in the age of generative AI, explore the dual impacts of AI technology on students' creative thinking and practice, and construct a targeted evaluation system for creative agency. Corresponding cultivation and evaluation implementation strategies are also proposed. This study aims to fill the research gap in the evaluation of students' creative agency in vocational art education under the background of AI-art integration, and provide theoretical reference and practical paths for the teaching reform and talent training of vocational digital media art education.
