BASIC APPROACHES TO TEACHING ELEMENTS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE SCHOOL COURSE OF INFORMATICS

The article discusses the feasibility of teaching the elements of artificial intelligence in school course of informatics and identified a problem in determining the main approaches to such training. The purpose of this article is to reveal the possibility of forming the content of school course of informatics in the field of artificial intelligence based on system-activity, fundamental and interdisciplinary approaches. The analysis of the scientific-methodological and educational didactic literature in the field of artificial intelligence, the generalization and systematization of the experience of teaching the elements of artificial intelligence to schoolchildren made it possible to determine the goals of teaching the elements of artificial intelligence in school course of informatics; reveal the requirements for the formation of concepts in the field of artificial intelligence; highlight in course of informatics for basic school a knowledge system on the basis of which it is possible to teach elements of artificial intelligence; to identify intersubject communications, the implementation of which will allow schoolchildren to successfully master knowledge and skills in the field of artificial intelligence. The results of the study are a methodological basis for the formation of the content of training in the field of artificial intelligence and they can be used to develop sections of school course of informatics related to artificial intelligence, as well as elective courses in secondary school. The research materials may be useful to specialists in the field of informatics teaching methods and informatics teachers.
