This study aims to explore the middle schoolers' common naive conceptions of AI and the evolution of these conceptions during an AI summer camp. Data were collected from 14 middle school students (12 boys and 2 girls) from video observations and learning artifacts. The findings revealed 6 naive conceptions about AI concepts: (1) AI was the same as…

The main goal of this study is to reveal special talented primary school students' perceptions of artificial intelligence, one of the popular concepts of recent times, through metaphors. In this study, the phenomenological design, which is within the scope of qualitative research, was used. In this study, Türkiye Science and Art Center included…

As artificial intelligence(AI) is utilised throughout society, the need to improve AI literacy as an essential competency, not only for specific experts but also for general citizens, is increasing. Therefore, several studies are being conducted on AI education, and attempts are being made to introduce it into the regular education curriculum.…

Based on Folk theory, Media Equation, and AI literacy research, the study constructed an interview outline and selected 72 students in 4th and 5th grade in three primary schools located in the Minhang and Putuo districts of Shanghai (two in the Minhang district and one in the Putuo district) as the study participants for focus group interviews.…

This study investigates how 11- to 12-year-old students construct data-based decision trees using data cards for classification purposes. We examine the students' heuristics and reasoning during this process. The research is based on an eight-week teaching unit during which students labeled data, built decision trees, and assessed them using test…

Considerable amount of research in educational data mining has focused on developing efficient algorithms for Knowledge Tracing (KT). However, in practice, many real-world learning systems used at scale struggle to implement KT capabilities, especially if they weren't originally designed for it. One key challenge is to accurately label existing…

Despite its proven success in various fields such as engineering, business, and healthcare, human-machine collaboration in education remains relatively unexplored. This study aims to highlight the advantages of human-machine collaboration for improving the efficiency and accuracy of decision-making processes in educational settings. High school…

Applying multimedia technology to college music teaching can directly present some abstract knowledge to students. This not only breaks the limitation of traditional teaching time and space, but also enriches the teaching content and improves the teaching quality. Therefore, it is very important to change the teaching concept, actively practice…

Numerous artificial intelligence methods have lately been applied in education. This study proposes an Adaptive Neural-network-based Fuzzy Logic (ANFIS) model combining fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks for predicting students' STEM attitudes. The inputs of the research were determined as grade levels and academic achievement scores, and…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been making considerable inroads into everyday lives, and AI applications and resources can be found in homes, businesses, entertainment venues, and--of course--in schools. The rapid rate at which AI is being integrated into education and placed in the hands of students, teachers, and other staff has prompted a…

The purpose of this study is multifold: First, to develop an educational program using artificial intelligence (AI) in middle school free semester system of South Korea. Second, to verify the program's effectiveness, the study clarified the definition of AI and AI education and considered their meaning in technology education. This study used…

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) necessitates promoting AI education at the K-12 level. However, educating young learners to become AI literate citizens poses several challenges. The components of AI literacy are ill-defined and it is unclear to what extent middle school students can engage in learning about AI as a…

In today's technology, there are rapid advances in the field of artificial intelligence. With the increasing involvement of artificial intelligence in daily activities, great changes are taking place in our habits. At this point, the necessity of educating students in accordance with the age of artificial intelligence emerges. Students'…

Assessment plays an important role in education. Recently proposed machine learning-based systems for answer grading demand a large training data which is not available in many application areas. Creation of sufficient training data is costly and time-consuming. As a result, automatic long answer grading is still a challenge. In this paper, we…

In their daily work teachers are responsible for several complex tasks; might AI be harnessed to support teachers in the challenging work of planning lessons? In this paper we investigate the use of an AI tool, namely ChatGPT, to generate a lesson plan that may be of use to teachers in their planning. A carefully worded prompt, informed by…
