Abstract
The rapid advancement of digital technologies, smart learning environments, and generative artificial intelligence has transformed language learning and writing instruction. This study aimed to (1) synthesize a creative writing skill framework within a Thai language learning environment for secondary school students through systematic analysis of relevant literature and research, and (2) evaluate the suitability of the synthesized framework through expert validation. A qualitative research design was employed using systematic document analysis of scholarly articles, books, and studies published between 2020 and 2025. Key concepts were analyzed to construct a framework encompassing creative writing, Thai language learning, technology-enhanced instruction, smart learning environments, and AI-assisted writing. The proposed framework was evaluated by five experts in Thai language education, curriculum and instruction, educational technology, and AI-assisted learning using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The findings identified seven interconnected domains: creative thinking and idea generation, writing process and text organization, language expression and stylistic use, digital learning support and smart learning environments, AI-assisted writing support, feedback and revision processes, and ethical and responsible technology use. Expert evaluation indicated a very high level of suitability. The study suggests that the framework is appropriate for enhancing creative writing development in secondary education within digital learning contexts and provides implications for curriculum design, instructional development, teacher preparation, and future research in AI-supported language education.
