Artificial Intelligence in the secondary education: the paradigm of Edu4AI

ABSTRACT

Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) and Artificial Intelligence can substantially maximise the student learning experience and support students by acquiring both technical and traversal life skills. The COVID-19 pandemic in the last two years has accelerated the introduction of new methods and tools supplementing traditional practices. In this paper we present the methodology posed within the European funded project Edu4AI “Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to Foster 21st Century Skills in Secondary Education” to introduce artificial intelligence in secondary education curricula, based on the interdisciplinary cooperation of educational and technical partners from four European countries exploring how user-friendly and mostly graphical environments together with simple engaging pilot projects can be used for this purpose. Furthermore we present the criteria, selection methodology and description of these pilot projects and give an outlook for planned future work. © 2022 Copyright for this paper by its authors.
