Inteligência Artificial: letramentos e práticas pedagógicas
Abstract
This article presents the implementation of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy program at Colégio Dante Alighieri in São Paulo, Brazil. The objective is to prepare students and educators to interact critically with AI technologies, integrating them into the Digital Education curriculum. The program spans from the 3rd year of Elementary School through High School, focusing on the ethical and responsible use of AI. The methodology includes forming an AI Committee, teacher training, curriculum revision, and practical activities with students. Results indicate the effectiveness of active methodologies in engaging students and facilitating understanding of complex AI concepts. Teacher training proved crucial, addressing both technical and pedagogical aspects. The study concludes that AI literacy is essential in contemporary education, requiring a balanced approach that integrates technological innovation with solid theoretical foundations. It is worth noting that AI does not replace teachers but demands new pedagogical competencies. Institutional support and the school's strategic vision were fundamental to the initiative's success, preparing students for technical, ethical, and social challenges related to emerging technologies.
