LITERACY IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE CONTEXT OF MATHEMATICS EDUCATION: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY

Abstract

This is an exploratory and interpretative work, built from the study of papers published by researchers, that present some empirical implementations, documents and curricular proposals from governments and scientific societies on literacy in Artificial Intelligence (AI). In several countries, this field of knowledge is included in school curricula, and young students are to be provided with this knowledge from elementary school. Such an approach is considered AI literacy. Researchers argue that an understanding of AI, both technology-integrated and user-centred, is limited. Thus, this study aimed to identify skills necessary for understanding AI that can be developed in Elementary School, especially in Mathematics Education. The contributions of this study are expected to guide schools and teachers towards including AI literacy, allowing the deepening of this theme.
