Integrating AI Education in K–12 Humanities Curricula: Opportunities, Challenges, Design Considerations, and Promising Solutions
Fri, April 12, 7:45 to 9:15am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 111BSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Integrating K-12 AI (Artificial Intelligence) education in humanities curricula can equip students with interdisciplinary skills for an increasingly AI-driven world, extending access beyond STEM. However, it also poses challenges related to curriculum design, teacher training, and ensuring equitable access. In this symposium, a diverse group of researchers will delve into opportunities, challenges, design considerations, and solutions by presenting empirical studies on designing and implementing AI-infused humanities curricula, providing valuable insights into effective pedagogical approaches, student engagement, and the impact on critical thinking, creativity, and ethical reasoning. These studies will contribute to the ongoing discourse on K-12 AI education, informing educators, policymakers, and curriculum developers about best practices, potential pitfalls, and strategies to ensure inclusive access to AI education.
