Development of Artificial Intelligence Education Programs Centered on Deep Learning Principles

Abstract

The Ministry of Education is pushing to improve the curriculum to develop basic skills and capabilities to respond to future social changes and emphasizes strengthening digital basic skills, including artificial intelligence and software education. In the field of artificial intelligence education, research is being conducted on artificial intelligence literacy, a basic knowledge that can correctly understand social changes caused by the development of artificial intelligence technology and creatively solve problems in real life and various fields by utilizing artificial intelligence. The purpose of this study is to develop and apply an educational program that can learn the concepts and principles of artificial intelligence (nodes, hidden layers, etc.) by using the part that shows the principle of implementing deep learning models in Machine Learning for Kids. The educational program designed the purpose and direction based on the results of analyzing the needs of 50 elementary school teachers, and analyzed the educational effect through the results of artificial intelligence literacy pre- and post-test for 20 elementary information gifted students. As a result of the analysis, it was found that this education program had a positive effect on improving artificial intelligence literacy.
