The Impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence on the Role of Teachers in Art Colleges

The widespread use of generative artificial intelligence has brought new challenges to teachers and requires teachers to change their role. Against this background, this study analyzes the main challenges faced by teachers in terms of teaching methods, teacher professional development, and educational value rationality in art college. Besides, the internal mechanism of the transformation of teachers' role positioning was analyzed, from instructional leaders to collaborative learning facilitators, from knowledge transmitters to technology users, and from skill demonstrators to value guides. On this basis, a practical path for reshaping the role of teachers is put forward in a targeted manner, which is to guide teachers to enrich their knowledge structure, improve their intellectual literacy, and strengthen their value guidance. Teachers of art college must keep up with the changes of the times and make adjustments to teachers’ roles to adapt to the transformation of higher education in the digital era.
