Enseigner l’intelligence artificielle pour les jeunes de 12 à 14 ans afin d’en changer leur image et leur représentation au travers d’activités de courte durée

Abstract

Nowadays, computer education for young people is becoming increasingly significant, and the authorities are looking forward to the introduction of artificial intelligence to the curriculum. However, the content of such courses is still a question. This master thesis presents a study that took place throughout the school year 2017-2018 within the University of Namur and several schools participating in the research. This study presents a survey on the depiction and representation of artificial intelligence among pupils (from 12 to 18 years old) and students (from 18 years old) of the general public. Following this study a brief teacher including activities about artificial intelligence is carried and the
student’s evolution after this teaching measured.
