Integrated theoretical framework combining UDL, Bloom's Taxonomy, and design thinking for AI-focused faculty development

Description

The institute design rested on three complementary lenses treated as interconnected rather than separate: Universal Design for Learning as the inclusive framework, Bloom's Taxonomy as a cognitive framework for judging AI's appropriate roles across cognitive levels, and design thinking's five stages (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test) as the innovation process. The article states the design "emphasized their interconnection through three primary theoretical lenses", using Bloom to help faculty "discern when AI collaboration enhances versus undermines learning objectives across cognitive levels".

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Faculty development must address multiple dimensions simultaneously: technical competence, pedagogical innovation, ethical reasoning, disciplinary application, and institutional navigation

Constraints

  • AI's role in higher-order thinking remains contested territory requiring careful pedagogical consideration, per the article

Target Learners

  • Higher education faculty integrating AI into teaching

Learning Goals

  • Judging appropriate AI roles across cognitive levels
  • Inclusive AI-enhanced course design
  • Human-centered AI integration design
