\nABSTRACT  \nThis article proposes a comprehensive AI curriculum tailored for young learners aged 11 to 14, emphasizing a humanistic approach. We review other AI curricula proposals for children and young people and underline that they focus primarily on AI's technological benefits and on learning coding and logic. Our curriculum explores human cognition that is often overlooked in existing AI curriculum. Our proposal combines learning through construction, reflective discussions and project-based learning in order to approach AI from variety of angles. Implemented by CreaTIC Academy during 2023/24 school year as an out-of-school activity in a secondary (middle) school in Barcelona, Spain, this curriculum integrates technological, philosophical, cognitive, and cultural dimensions. It draws from diverse fields, including Philosophy of Mind , Cognitive Psychology and Philosophy of Children , and includes practical coding with tools like Scratch and AppInventor, as well as Machine Learning for Kids. Designed to be adaptable across various socio-economic contexts, our approach aims to promote a broader liberal education for children and help teachers implement AI activities in their classrooms KEYWORDS: Curriculum Design, Artificial Intelligence Education, Humanistic  \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nIn recent years, and especially with the introduction of ChatGPT in 2022, the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) has been made obvious to everyone. AI is in the News daily, it is incorporated in many applications we use routinely, it is revolutionizing industries. Education is not an exception. The rapidly evolving AI field and its significant potential to transform education has been noticed long before the mass heap. And now it is already changing the Education in all its levels. Studies show high rates of use of AIbased tools in higher education for a wide variety of tasks. In Germany almost two-thirds of the respondents in a large survey with university-level students reported to have used IA-based tools (von Garrel and Mayer, 2023) . Dempere et al. (2023) reveal through a systematic survey that notable benefits of AI usage in higher education include research support, automated grading, and enhanced human-computer interaction. The same study also reveals concerns such as online testing security, plagiarism, and broader societal and economic impacts like job displacement, the digital literacy gap, and AI-induced anxiety.  \nThe impact on schools is closely following. In 2021 a European survey on K-12 level concluded that it is expected a “powerful andimmersive use of AI in education in near future” (European Schoolnet, 2021) . More recently, Zhang & Tur (2023) discuss the potential of ChatGPT to enhance the work of educators by aiding in curriculum design, lesson planning, creating materials, differentiating instruction, and improving the student learning experience through tailored education, but also leaves many issues to tackle. AI learning could bring learning opportunities and foster children’s AI literacy in terms of AI concepts, practices and perspectives. (Su & Yang 2023) . Mogavi at al. 2024 report about 22% usage of ChatGPT in K-12 and report that early adopters “are conc","cbCainkGKSil8g6J","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainkGKSil8g6J","pdf",197104,"English","# Introduction\n## Background and motivation\n## Existing curricula and identified gaps\n# Curriculum proposal and framework","[{\"question\":\"What age range does the proposed AI curriculum target?\",\"answer\":\"The curriculum is designed for young learners aged 11 to 14, with activities structured for school contexts.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the article position its curriculum compared with existing AI curricula for children?\",\"answer\":\"It contrasts with curricula that primarily emphasize AI’s technological benefits and learning to code, by instead focusing on human cognition and related perspectives that are often overlooked.\"},{\"question\":\"Which teaching methods and tools does the curriculum include?\",\"answer\":\"It combines learning through construction, reflective discussions, and project-based learning, using practical coding tools such as Scratch and AppInventor, and resources connected to Machine Learning for Kids.\"}]","Teaching AI to the Next Generation - A Humanistic Approach | PDF",1792092777,23]
