Description

Bellas et al. present a European Erasmus+ effort defining an AI curriculum for high school students and teachers with no previous AI knowledge. The commentary describes a 2-year sequence organized around an expanded version of the Five Big Ideas with 8 key ideas, using teaching units implemented as needed and mobile learning to keep costs manageable. It highlights attention to math prerequisites and integration so learners "learn Python and AI at the same time." Initial evaluation via teacher feedback and student technical questionnaires was encouraging.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Attention to math prerequisites for different curriculum components; existing AI textbooks were reported not to fit teachers' needs

Constraints

  • Whether the specific teaching units are effective "will only become clear with time and research"

Target Learners

  • High school students and teachers with no previous knowledge of AI

Learning Goals

  • AI concepts and Python programming combined
