Evaluating Private Artificial Intelligence (AI) Curriculum in Computer Science (CS) Education: Insights for Advancing Student-Centered CS Learning

Abstract

This study was undertaken to pilot a Private AI curriculum designed with a problemcentered instruction (PCI) approach for post-secondary Computer Science (CS) education.To this end, a condensed version of one of the ten curricular modules was implemented in a twohour workshop.The mixed-method data analysis revealed participants' positive motivation and interest in the curriculum, while also pinpointing opportunities to further improve the design strategies of the curriculum. Pilot test of a private AI curriculumThis study pilot-tested a Private AI curriculum grounded in the PCI framework, designed to prepare the next generation of AI professionals with a focus on privacy at the post-secondary level.To achieve this, we facilitated a workshop where a scaled-down version of the curricular module was deployed.The study aimed to investigate learners' perceived levels of motivation and interest and to examine collaborative problem-solving behaviors to continuously refine the curriculum's design.The following questions guided this study: (a) How do learners perceive their motivation and interest towards the Private AI curricular activities?and (b) How do learners engage in collaborative problem-solving during hands-on lab activities?
