Development of prototype for Artificial Intelligence education program for elementary schools based on Design Thinking

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to develop a prototype of an elementary school artificial intelligence education program based on design thinking. Method: To this end, core values and design principles of AI(Artificial Intelligence) education programs for elementary schools based on Design Thinking were derived through literature studies, case studies, and demand surveys. Results: As a result, the content feasibility was improved in the CVI measurement of the secondary FGI participant. I would like to suggest that: First, this study is the prototype development study of artificial intelligence education programs, and the researcher's intention was to develop a prototype-type artificial intelligence education program and help it be used in the field quickly. Second, this study was not a study of the development of AI education programs in the form of prototypes that measured effectiveness or improvement in the specific competence of learners or professors through the program. Therefore, the contents and areas of AI education used in this study were reconstructed based on foreign cases and the results of AI curriculum research conducted so far. Conclusion: Therefore, if a formal curriculum for AI education is presented under the leadership of the Ministry of Education, it is necessary to develop the final form of AI education programs based on Design Thinking.
