수학에 기반한 인공지능 수업을 통한 중학생 인식변화

초록

This study analyzed the effects of a math-based AI curriculum on middle school students' computational thinking, perception of the practical value of AI, and appreciation of the value of mathematics as a subject. We developed an AI education program based on mathematics for the 5th and 6th grades of elementary school and the first semester of the 1st year of middle school. The program was taught to 146 1st-year students in eight middle schools in Metropolitan City B from March to June 2023 under a free semester system. A pre- and post-survey was conducted to analyze changes in the perception of participating students. The developed AI education program improved students' computational thinking, perceptions of the practical value of AI, and perceptions of mathematics education. Korean students need more instrumental motivation to learn mathematics than their high mathematical literacy. Recognizing the practicality of mathematics can contribute to the formation of instrumental motivations for learning mathematics. This research suggests introducing an AI education program based on mathematics is necessary. Such an educational program allows students to experience practical aspects of mathematics, enhancing their understanding of AI and recognizing the value of mathematics subjects. Therefore, this study is meaningful to improve students' instrumental motivation for learning mathematics.
