South Korean universities are planning to establish 'Artificial Intelligence Convergence Education Major' in graduate schools of education with the aim of fostering the best AI (Artificial Intelligence) teachers in elementary, middle, and high schools.
Woori University's Graduate School of Education (Director Kim Jae-hyun) received approval early this year from 'New Project for Artificial Intelligence Convergence Education at Graduate School of Education' led by the Ministry of Education. In July, 35 current teachers including middle and high school students will be selected and operate 'Artificial Intelligence Convergence Education Major' starting from the second semester of this year.
As software (SW) education is fully introduced to all elementary and middle schools this year, related education will be expanded in the future, so it is urgent to train professional human resources related to AI education. In response, Kim Jae-hyun, dean of the Graduate School of Education (Computer Education), said, "We decided to establish and operate an artificial intelligence convergence education major at the Graduate School of Education so that we can train professional teachers who can implement artificial intelligence education in the field in order to foster talent that will lead the era of the fourth industrial revolution."
The Ministry of Education announced in March that it will select '202020 AI Convergence Curriculum Operation High School' and train 1,000 AI convergence education specialists annually through re-education of teachers.
For this purpose, Woori University's Graduate School of Education signed a business agreement with the Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education to open and operate 'artificial intelligence convergence education graduate schools' and selected 35 current teachers from elementary and middle schools in the first semester.
The selected teachers will be required to take basic essential courses (understanding data science, programming basics, etc.) and select one of the major and major convergence courses, and conduct research that can be applied and spread to school sites such as subjects or industry-academic-linked projects.
Teachers who have earned degrees in education (artificial intelligence convergence education) will take charge of convergence classes using artificial intelligence at each school, and current teachers who have been recommended and selected by the city and provincial education offices will be eligible for 50% (up to 1.5 million won) of tuition.
