随着人工智能（AI）技术变得越来越普遍，学生认识到人工智能以及如何使用它是至关重要的。关于小学生的学习能力和促进学生学习所需的教学支持的研究很少。PrimaryAI是作为3 -5年级的人工智能课程创建的，通过四个单元，包括机器学习、计算机视觉、人工智能规划和人工智能伦理，在真实的生命科学背景下利用基于问题和沉浸式学习。该课程于2022年春季由两名高年级小学教师实施。根据测试前/测试后的结果，学生们能够概念化与机器学习和计算机视觉相关的人工智能概念。结果显示，性别差异不显著。教师们表示，该课程吸引了学生，并为教师在课堂上教授内容提供了足够的框架。对未来实施的建议包括：加强人工智能和生命科学概念之间的一致性，改变沉浸式基于问题的学习环境，以及加强与当地动物种群的联系。
As artificial intelligence (AI) technology becomes increasingly pervasive, it is critical that students recognize AI and how it can be used. There is little research exploring learning capabilities of elementary students and the pedagogical supports necessary to facilitate students' learning. PrimaryAI was created as a 3rd-5th grade AI curriculum that utilizes problem-based and immersive learning within an authentic life science context through four units that cover machine learning, computer vision, AI planning, and AI ethics. The curriculum was implemented by two upper elementary teachers during Spring 2022. Based on pre-test/post-test results, students were able to conceptualize AI concepts related to machine learning and computer vision. Results showed no significant differences based on gender. Teachers indicated the curriculum engaged students and provided teachers with sufficient scaffolding to teach the content in their classrooms. Recommendations for future implementations include greater alignment between the AI and life science concepts, alterations to the immersive problem-based learning environment, and enhanced connections to local animal populations.
