10 tasks for artificial intelligence teachers in the first year of the curriculum application

Experts in artificial education and intelligence emphasized that the application of artificial intelligence curriculum for the first time on students from the first to the twelfth, imposes on teachers new roles that go beyond the limits of traditional teaching, to become mentors and guides in the students’ journey towards absorbing modern technologies, explaining that this stage requires teachers to combine educational skills and technical knowledge, to ensure the success of the experience and achieve its educational goals.

They told “Emirates Today” that artificial intelligence teachers in the first academic year will face a set of major tasks, most notably training students on critical thinking, enhancing programming skills, linking curricula to practical reality, in addition to keeping pace with rapid developments in this field. They also stressed the importance of creating a supportive class environment and activating partnership with parents, in a manner that ensures the consolidation of the culture of innovation in new generations.

Simplify concepts

In detail, artificial intelligence expert, Dr. Mohamed Abdel -Zahir, said the importance of the teacher of this article to have skills to simplify complex concepts so that provides the basics of artificial intelligence in a clear and easy language that suits the ages of students.

Digital awareness

He stated that the teacher should build a culture of digital awareness, introduce students to the use of artificial intelligence in their daily lives, highlight its benefits and challenges, noting the importance of teaching critical and moral thinking and clarifying the responsibility for using artificial intelligence, and opening discussions on privacy and justice issues.

Activity design

He explained that the teacher should design practical activities and provide simple projects and experiences (such as robots or smart applications) to link concepts to reality, as well as develop basic programming skills and training students on primary languages and tools (such as Python or Scratch Ai) To prepare them for advanced stages.

Cooperative work

For its part, the expert in educational technology and artificial intelligence, Reem Asaad, believes that the teacher is required to encourage cooperative work and involve students in small work teams to solve problems using artificial intelligence tools, as well as integrating artificial intelligence with other curricula, and highlighting the relationship between artificial intelligence, mathematics, science, technology, and even arts.

Follow up developments

She added: “One of the most prominent tasks of artificial intelligence teachers is to follow up on recent developments, and to see the new in the field and modernize lessons in a way that suits the level of students, noting the importance of building educational partnerships and communication with experts, universities, and technical institutions to extend students with additional learning opportunities, stressing the need to inspire students towards the future, and instilling their enthusiasm that artificial intelligence is not just a study subject, but the future of a profession And creativity.
