As the application potential and value of artificial intelligence to society is increasing, intelligent technology is developing more and more rapidly, and the country’s demand for training future talents is also constantly advancing with the times. The artificial intelligence awareness required by future citizens and skills have become the objective needs of education, Therefore, the rise and development of artificial intelligence education has important and far-reaching significance. It will help students form intelligent social awareness and adapt to the development of intelligent society.
At present, our country attaches great importance to attracting and cultivating high-tech talents, starting from the basic education stage to popularize artificial intelligence education, and cultivating the intelligent awareness, skills and literacy required by future citizens.
Since the State Council promulgated the " New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan " in 2017, the country has successively introduced various education policies and gradually launched national intelligent education projects. emphasized that artificial intelligence will be introduced to popularize education in primary and secondary schools, and artificial intelligence will be launched Intelligent Curriculum Development Standards, released the Artificial Intelligence Technology and Engineering Literacy Framework.
This year, the Ministry of Education clearly established a new subject in the latest "Compulsory Education Curriculum Plan and Curriculum Standards" - Information Technology , which also set detailed goals and content for artificial intelligence courses.
At this point, schools and parents have begun to pay attention to the topic of scientific and technological innovation literacy, focusing on cultivating children's scientific and technological innovation abilities and expertise. "Students with scientific and technological talents" have also become a special favorite in the selection stage for further education. In this regard, many schools, educational institutions and parents are paying attention to forward-looking artificial intelligence education, but also have a lot of doubts. In order to let everyone have a clearer understanding of artificial intelligence courses, programming education, and technology makers. Learning content, understand what exactly young people learn in artificial intelligence subjects? What do you need to master? Xiaoti will analyze and interpret it for you today, hoping to help everyone prepare for educational development.
