Previous studies showed that an improvement in attitude toward a subject affects academic achievement in the subject. The purpose of this study is to confirm that the AI education program causes changes in the AI attitude of gifted children in elementary school, and that the change in attitude leads to a change in literacy. In this study, we conducted an AI education program for gifted children, and analyze the effect of AI education program on the change in AI attitude AI literacy through pre- and post-test. The result of the analysis showed the statistically significant improvement of AI attitudes. In addition, through regression analysis it was found that the change in AI attitude has a statistically significant direct effect on the change in AI literacy. This study has a limitation in that self-evaluation was used to measure AI attitudes and literacy and conducted to a relatively small number of samples. Even though, it was also confirmed that the activities of making an AI programs experienced in real-life can cause changes in AI attitudes and literacy.

This study aims to design and develop effective digital contents to improve the ability for artificial intelligence literacy. First, we defined AI literacy and analyzed the competencies required for artificial intelligence literacy. After selecting the educational elements for AI ability, we composed 10 educational programs. To confirm the appropriateness of designed contents, we verified through content validity test by 10 experts. The CVI value was over 0.75, which was highly valid. The developed content was installed on the online system and applied to 55 AI beginners for 4 weeks. The learners showed a positive result of at least 3.85 in the items of content difficulty, understanding, effectiveness, and learning challenge. As a result of this analysis, we can see that the developed content is positive for helping many people understand AI and improving AI literacy.

In this paper, we developed an artificial intelligence literacy education program to strengthen the AI convergence education capacity and cultivate literacy of in-service elementary and secondary teachers, and verify the effect on the degree of interest in artificial intelligence convergence education by applying it. As a test tool, the level of interest questionnaire scale developed by George, Hall & Stiegelbauer(2006) was used based on the center of interest acceptance model of Hall et al.(1979). As a result of analyzing the degree of interest in artificial intelligence convergence education before and after the application of the artificial intelligence literacy education program, the types of non-users were found both before and after the application of the program, but the overall degree of interest increased compared to before application. As a result of analyzing the satisfaction result of the artificial intelligence literacy education program, a response that was satisfied in most areas was derived, but there was a tendency to be somewhat less satisfied with the case of convergence and application of artificial intelligence and industry.

As artificial intelligence(AI) education becomes essential in elementary schools with the revised 2022 curriculum, it is necessary to develop an AI curriculum for elementary school students. In this study, I developed the AI content framework to cultivate AI literacy of elementary school students. AI education areas were largely divided into AI understanding and AI development, and detailed areas were divided into eight categories: using of AI, impact of AI, AI ethics, recognition of AI, data expression, data exploring, learning of AI, and prediction of AI. In addition, twice expert Delphi surveys were conducted to verify the validity of the subject elements and achievement standards for each area. The final draft was finalized after reflecting expert opinions on the AI education content framework. In order for AI education to be expanded in elementary schools in the future, continuous research is needed, such as developing textbooks and teaching tools according based on the AI framework proposed in this study, securing the lesson hours to apply them to schools, and correcting and supplementing the problems of them.

The purpose of this study is to design and develop the test standard to measure AI literacy abilities. First, we selected key areas of AI literacy through the related studies and expert FGI and designed detailed standard. The area of the test standard is divided into three categories: AI concept, practice, and impact. In order to confirm the validity of the test standard, we conducted twice expert validity tests and then modified and supplemented the test index. To confirm the validity of the test standard, we conducted an expert validity test twice and then modified and supplemented the test standard. The final AI literacy test standard consisted of a total of 30 questions. The AI literacy test standard developed in this study can be an important tool for developing self-checklists or AI competency test questions for measuring AI literacy ability.

As the demand for AI education increases, AI education is actively conducted in the educational field, but it is difficult to internalize AI education due to securing time, difficulty in organizing class contents, and lack of curriculum. As a way to solve this problem, there is a school autonomous course. The school autonomous course allows schools to have autonomy and discretion throughout the curriculum, such as adjusting the number of hours in the subject group and restructuring the use of achievement standards. In this study, in order to enhance AI education, the effect was analyzed by developing and applying an AI education immersion course using a school autonomous curriculum. In the AI education immersion course, students continuously experience AI education in a dense manner within a limited time, so substantial AI education can be achieved. After the AI curriculum, it was found that students' overall AI literacy and self-determination learning motivation improved. It is expected that this study will be able to present a direction to internalize AI education using school autonomous curriculum.

In this paper, the effect of artificial intelligence convergence education program that provides STEAM education using machine learning platform on elementary school students' STEAM literacy and learning flow was analyzed. A homogeneous group of 44 elementary school 6th graders was divided into an experimental group and a control group. The control group received 10 lessons of general subject convergence class, and the experimental group received 10 lessons of STEAM-based artificial intelligence convergence education using Machine learning for Kids. To develop the artificial intelligence convergence education program, the goals, achievement standards, and content elements of the 2015 revised curriculum to select subjects and class contents is analyzed. As a result of the STEAM literacy test and the learning flow test, there was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group. In particular, it can be confirmed that the coding environment in which the artificial intelligence function is expanded has a positive effect on learners' learning flow and STEAM literacy. Among the sub-elements of convergence talent literacy, significant differences were found in the areas of personal competence such as convergence and creativity. Among the sub-elements of learning flow, significant differences were found in the areas such as harmony of challenge and ability, clear goals, focus on tasks, and self-purposed experiences. If further expanded research is conducted in the future, it will be a basic research for more effective education for the future.
