Artificial Intelligence Education in an Elementary School and Its Evaluation by Career Development, Motivation and Rubrics

Abstract

Because artificial intelligence (AI) is an effective method to solve various social problems, it is important for learner to learn a knowledge of AI during the early stage and develop learner’s career. Based on this point of view, we performed an education of AI to the elementary school students and its educational evaluation. As the evaluation indexes, we adopted the intrinsic value, attainment utility value, expectation of the success and career development for artificial intelligence. As the results, we could confirm the improvement of their factors by the t-test and path analysis. We could also confirm that the contents of our education had the good effect for the elementary school students.
