Co-Designing Interdisciplinary Design Projects with AI

This paper presents IDPplanner, a GPT-based tool for helping teachers design interdisciplinary design thinking projects for Singapore secondary schools, and evaluates it through a within-subject study with 33 in-service teachers comparing AI-assisted versus manual project planning quality using a six-dimensional rubric.

Creating interdisciplinary design projects is time-consuming and cognitively demanding for teachers, requiring curriculum alignment, cross-subject integration, and careful sequencing. Recent international surveys (e.g., OECD TALIS 2024) report increasing teacher use of AI alongside persistent workload pressures, underscoring the need for planning support. This paper presents the Interdisciplinary Design Project Planner (IDPplanner), a GPT-based planning assistant grounded in Design Innovation pr
