AI赋能的经济学沙盘模拟课程设计初探：面向数字经济时代的教学改革

With the rapid development of the digital economy, technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and cloud computing have brought transformations to economics education. The traditional economics teaching model, which relies on theoretical instruction and static case analysis, can hardly meet students’ needs to apply economic knowledge to practical problems. Therefore, this paper proposes an AI-empowered teaching model for economics sandbox simulation. By integrating an AI-driven market simulation system and intelligent decision support, this model enables students to conduct economic decision-making simulations in a virtual market, improving their abilities in data analysis, economic forecasting, and decision-making.In terms of instructional design, the course adopts a structure of “three links + four dimensions + six levels”, including intelligent learning before class, immersive experience during class, and personalized development after class, aiming to gradually enhance students’theoretical understanding, practical competence, and innovative thinking. Through four core dimensions—data analysis, business operation decision-making, macro policy evaluation, and intelligent decision optimization—students can deepen the application of economic principles in a dynamic economic environment and cultivate interdisciplinary economic and management talents that meet the demands of the digital economy era. This paper discusses the design philosophy, implementation methods, and teaching effectiveness of this teaching model, providing new ideas and practical directions for the reform of economics education. 随着数字经济的迅速发展，人工智能（AI）、大数据和云计算等技术为经济学教育带来了变革。传统经济学教学模式依赖于理论讲解和静态案例分析，难以满足学生将经济学知识应用于实际问题的需求。为此，本文提出了AI赋能的经济学沙盘模拟教学模式。该模式通过结合AI驱动的市场仿真系统和智能决策支持，帮助学生在虚拟市场中进行经济决策模拟，提升数据分析、经济预测和决策能力。教学设计上，课程采用了“三环节+四维度+六层次”的结构，包括课前智能学习、课中沉浸式体验和课后个性化发展，旨在逐步提升学生的理论理解、实践能力和创新思维。通过数据分析、企业经营决策、宏观政策评估和智能决策优化四个核心维度，学生能够在动态的经济环境中深化对经济学原理的应用，培养适应数字经济时代需求的复合型经济管理人才。本文探讨了该教学模式的设计理念、实施方法及其教学效果，为经济学教育改革提供了新的思路和实践方向。
