Extension of media literacy from the perspective of artificial intelligence and implementation strategies of artificial intelligence courses in junior high schools

Quick prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies raise the standards for all-round qualities of students, requiring them to improve their computation thinking, programming abilities and interpersonal skills, which account for an important part of extension of students’ media literacy in this intelligent world. As science and technology moves fast forward, junior high schools should carry out education on media literacy, provide training in STEM subjects and entrepreneurship courses to lay a foundation for AI training. To provide AI courses, junior high schools should consider the students’ physical and psychological development, and carry out training in this regard in a simple-to-complex and superfïcial-to-deep manner. In AI education, exploratory education should be adopted, course on science, information technology and comprehensive practice should be integrated organically, and AI courses that meet the conditions of the schools should be developed.
