摘要

This study addresses persistent pedagogical challenges in inorganic chemistry—such as abstract concept visualization, imprecise learning diagnosis, and underdeveloped critical thinking—by proposing a triadic teaching model, “Perception-Diagnosis-Critical Thinking,” powered by generative artificial intelligence (GAI). The model employs GAI-driven interactive simulations to visualize abstract concepts, utilizes dynamic knowledge graphs for real-time learning diagnosis and personalized pathways, and designs comparative and critical tasks to foster higher-order thinking in authentic engineering contexts. A quasi-experimental study involving 75 first-year students (experimental group: n = 37; control group: n = 38) demonstrated that the model significantly improved students’ knowledge mastery (*t* = 6.70, *p* < 0.0001), enhanced specific dimensions of complex problem-solving (*t* = 2.055, *p* = 0.044), and elicited more positive learning experiences (*t* = 2.121, *p* = 0.038). This research offers a transferable paradigm for the deep integration of AI in STEM education, positioning GAI not merely as a tool but as an architectural component of the instructional cycle.
