Abstract

This study explores a novel educational model of generative AI-empowered interdisciplinary project-based learning (PBL). By analyzing the current applications of generative AI technology in  information technology curricula, it elucidates its advantages and operational mechanisms in interdisciplinary PBL. Combining case studies and empirical research, the investigation proposes implementation pathways and strategies for the generative AI-enhanced interdisciplinary PBL model, detailing specific applications across three phases: project preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The research demonstrates that generative AI-enabled interdisciplinary project-based  learning  can  effectively  enhance  students'  learning  motivation, interdisciplinary thinking capabilities, and innovative competencies, providing new conceptual frameworks and practical approaches for educational model innovation.
