Abstract

This study explored university students’ perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) literacy and AI education. Specifically, the authors sought to understand the level of AI literacy among university students, the extent of their prior exposure to AI education, and the factors that affect their AI education. The study was conducted through an online survey distributed among 300 university students at a Korean university. The study findings indicate that most university students are interested in learning AI. Moreover, the results showed that students with prior experience with software (SW) education showed superior knowledge, a better grasp of AI concepts, and more confidence in using AI technologies, especially in computer coding skills. On the other hand, students with less exposure to prior AI education expressed a need for more learning opportunities and sufficient knowledge of computer coding skills. In addition, we found that students who had received SW education during their K-12 schooling showed better math skills than those who had only received short-term training in university. These findings underscore the importance of addressing the educational barriers that impede university students’ ability to harness this interest effectively. In conclusion, our study provides valuable insights into university students’ perceptions regarding AI literacy and the factors that affect their AI education.

了解韩国某大学大学生人工智能素养的探索性研究
本研究探讨了大学生对人工智能(AI)素养和人工智能教育的看法。具体来说,作者试图了解大学生的人工智能素养水平、他们之前接触人工智能教育的程度以及影响他们接受人工智能教育的因素。研究通过在线调查的方式进行,调查对象是韩国一所大学的 300 名大学生。研究结果表明,大多数大学生对学习人工智能感兴趣。此外,研究结果表明,有过软件(SW)教育经验的学生在使用人工智能技术(尤其是计算机编码技能)方面表现出更高的知识水平、对人工智能概念的掌握程度和信心。另一方面,以前接受过较少人工智能教育的学生则表示需要更多的学习机会和足够的计算机编码技能知识。此外,我们还发现,与只在大学接受过短期培训的学生相比,在 K-12 年级接受过 SW 教育的学生表现出了更好的数学技能。这些发现强调了解决阻碍大学生有效利用这一兴趣的教育障碍的重要性。总之,我们的研究为了解大学生对人工智能素养的看法以及影响其人工智能教育的因素提供了宝贵的见解。
