The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Green Education: Optimizing Teacher Workflow and Enhancing Pedagogical Design under Sustainable Development Pedagogy (SDP) Constraints
Hossein Talebzadeh
Pre-service teachers' instructional design quality significantly improved when using an AI-assisted framework with a sustainable development constraint, with a large effect size (Cohen's d = 2.80). The SDP workflow compliance index increased by 1.83 units, transforming teachers into strategic educational managers.
Original abstract
The present study investigates the effectiveness of implementing an educational constraint centered on sustainable development on the quality of pre-service teachers' instructional design within the framework of the Integrated AI Triad (IAT) model. A quasi-experimental approach was adopted, comparing the lesson plans of 28 pre-service teacher teams across a Baseline phase and a Sustainable Development Pedagogy (SDP) phase. The results of a paired $t$-test revealed a statistically significant improvement in the overall design quality after the intervention (t(27) = 13.78, p < 0.001), accompanied by an exceptionally large effect size (Cohen's d = 2.80). The highest surge was observed in the SDP workflow compliance index, which exhibited an increase of 1.83 units. These findings demonstrate that enforcing a rigorous, AI-assisted zero-paper resource management constraint serves as a strategic catalyst, transforming the teacher's role from a conventional pedagogical designer into an efficient, highly reflective, and strategic educational manager.
