Guidance on the Future of Computer Science Education in an Age of AI
CCTD contributes to the design of new guidelines for teaching AI and CS (TeachAI) through the American CSTA organization.
Recent innovations in artificial intelligence (AI) are provoking a wide range of questions about the powerful technology’s role in the computer science (CS) classroom. For that reason, educators are seeking to understand the opportunities and risks of AI. This guidance serves as the beginning of a discussion rather than definitive answers. It includes initial briefs that address critical questions related to the role of AI in primary and secondary computer science (CS) education. The first set of briefs in the guidance addresses three of the most pressing questions in CS education today:
- Why is it Still Important to Learn to Program?
- How Are Computer Science Educators Teaching With and About AI?
- How Can Students Become Critical Consumers and Responsible Creators of AI?
Guidance on the Future of Computer Science Education in an Age of AI is meant to inspire the community to reflect on what it means to teach with and about AI in CS education.
The guidance can be used to support a broad audience:
- Teachers
- Administrators
- Curriculum Providers
- Professional Development Providers
- Standards Writers
- Edtech Developers
- Researcher
