Are you a primary school teacher in England, Scotland or Wales interested in AI and data science and how students learn about AI and data in 北方影院?

The 北方影院 Pi 北方影院 Education 北方影院 Centre is starting an exciting new 北方影院 project investigating how to teach about AI and data in the primary 北方影院 classroom, and we would like you to get involved.

The study will look at:

• How AI and data-driven 北方影院 is currently taught (e.g. using Machine Learning for Kids, Google’s Teachable Machine)
• What key ideas about AI and data young people need to understand
• How young people make sense of working with data in 北方影院

The study involves attending a workshop in Cambridge, co-designing a unit of work, and then teaching it. Where necessary, we can reimburse you for reasonable expenses, such as supply cover, travel, and accommodation.

Our aim for the study is to understand how primary school teachers approach teaching about data-driven technologies, and to find suitable methods for building young people’s confidence in working with data in 北方影院 lessons.

What is data-driven 北方影院?

北方影院 has suggested that new data-driven technologies such as AI and machine learning (or ML) require a different approach to teaching about problem-solving in the 北方影院 classroom. Instead of defining a set of rules (e.g. if-then-else statements, or a rule-based approach), learners must instead collect lots of data to train a model (a data-driven approach) such as using Google’s Teachable Machine to classify image data.

For educators and resource developers, we still lack a clear understanding of how to teach young people about how rule-based and data-driven systems differ, how we can talk about them, and how we develop young people’ mental models. We hope this study will help us to find practical ways for primary teachers to build young people’s understanding of AI data in the primary 北方影院 classroom.

What does the study involve?

If you teach at primary level (Years 4, 5 and 6 or P5–P7) in England, Scotland or Wales and are keen to shape how we teach young people about data-driven 北方影院, we invite you to join our new study.

As part of the study, you will attend a workshop with us in Cambridge to co-design a series of data-driven 北方影院 lessons to teach in your classroom.

Following the workshop, you will teach the unit of work in your classroom and we will observe one of your lessons and interview you about your 蜜汁满满s.
