Methodology of Teaching the Elements of Artificial Intelligence in Schools

With a focus on AI literacy for students in resource-constrained environments, this study investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) components are incorporated into standard secondary school curricula in Uzbekistan. Even if AI is becoming more and more relevant, there is still a gap in digital abilities across different social strata due to unequal educational access. In order to teach AI principles without the use of technology, this study uses Kolb's experiential learning theory and the "Unplugged" approach. Through practical approaches, the course seeks to promote critical thinking and theoretical AI comprehension. The findings show that the Unplugged approach improves students' understanding and interest in AI subjects by clearly communicating AI concepts. With ramifications for wider implementation in technologically limited contexts, this strategy offers a viable model for inclusive AI teaching.
