A pilot program for advanced training for teachers dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI) has begun in the capital. Nearly 2,000 physics and mathematics teachers will undergo training to use modern technologies in their work, the press service reported. Moscow Department of Education and Science.
"The development of artificial intelligence today not only opens up opportunities for all sectors of the economy but also poses new challenges for school education. Teachers must be able to use neural networks consciously and effectively to create modern digital teaching methods and find learning assignments that will develop fundamental knowledge and skills in a rapidly changing high-tech world. The goal of the new course is to teach teachers to use AI in a way that enhances teachers' professionalism, not replaces it, and serves as a true assistant, not a tool for easy solutions and shortcuts in school learning," the department's press service noted.
The course program includes three modules and is based on practical work. Teachers will be trained by mentors from Moscow City Pedagogical University, Lomonosov Moscow State University, and experts from Sber and Yandex. Teachers will learn how to create learning tasks that artificial intelligence cannot solve and how to develop AI assistants. These assistants will be able to grade assignments, conduct oral quizzes, and analyze lessons.
An important part of the curriculum is learning the principles of neural networks. Teachers will explore the concept of artificial intelligence hallucinations and how to account for this in physics and mathematics lessons. They will also master prompt engineering—the art of correctly formulating queries for neural networks. This will allow students, even without programming skills, to create useful programs, for example, for visual animation of physical processes or geometric shapes.
Each teacher will complete their own digital project at the end of the training. This new knowledge will help teachers improve their effectiveness and prepare students for the future. School graduates will be able to apply artificial intelligence to solve complex professional problems. This large-scale program makes Moscow a leader in the systematic implementation of AI in school education.
Moscow is creating all the conditions for teachers' professional growth, says Sergei Sobyanin.An expert council for the development of school mathematics and science education has been established in Moscow.
