The Student-centered STEM Learning Model Based on Artificial Intelligence Project: A Case Study on Intelligent Car

Abstract

Artificial intelligence has become a crucial technology for the development of the times. In the practice of emerging engineering education about artificial intelligence, how to enhance students' understanding of artificial intelligence technology, strengthen students' enthusiasm for learning, and improve their research and application innovation ability is a key issue. This study constructs a student-centered STEM learning model that emphasizes innovative applications, so as to promote project-based learning effects for students, reduce learning burnout as well as improve their research and application capabilities. We take the design improvement and experimental result analysis of the intelligent car target tracking system as an example and verifies the effectiveness of the learning model through multi-dimensional evaluation and comparative experiments. Under the same experimental equipment and necessary project functions, we divide students into STEM learning groups and traditional project learning groups to carry out learning activities. This study focused on the learning process of the STEM learning group. The empirical analysis shows that the project completion time and quantitative evaluation of the effects are better than the general learning model.

Innovative Methodologies and Approaches to Teaching with Artificial Intelligence in Ukrainian Higher Education

“…Analysing the research devoted to AI-based methodology in higher education, it was found that six teaching approaches are effectively applied. They include: differentiated instruction (Büyüksoy et al, 2020;Eikeland & Ohna, 2022), student-centered approach (Kerimbayev et al, 2023;Liao et al, 2021), technology-based approach (Kozlova & Pikhart, 2021;Zawacki-Richter et al, 2019), group learning (Kim et al, 2022b;Seo at al., 2021;Tan et al, 2022), game-based learning (Priyaadharshini et al, 2020;Videnovik et al, 2023), and competency-based approach (Margienė et al, 2022;Oroszi, 2020). Figure 2 shows the teaching approached in higher education with AI.…”

Exploring Chinese STEM college students’ expectations of effective online courses

“…Consequently, Chinese universities have undertaken a transition from traditional teacher-centered methods to studentoriented learning strategies in STEM courses, focusing on active engagement and the application of knowledge (Liu & Cheng, 2005;Zhou, 2016). For instance, Liao et al (2021) proposed a student-centered STEM learning model that integrates real projects, cooperative learning activities, and innovation cultivation to enhance Chinese engineering students' understanding of artificial intelligence technology and foster their enthusiasm for learning. Similarly, Sun and Liu (2021) implemented a student-centered approach, incorporating hands-on projects, in-class quizzes, and one-to-one Q&A sessions in theoretical mechanical lessons at a Chinese university.…”

Research on Project-Based Teaching Methods in the Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

“…This approach emphasizes deepening learning through real projects and encourages students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems. Early research indicated that project-based teaching can enhance students' academic performance and knowledge retention [6]. Additionally, students engaged in projects typically need to collaborate actively, problem-solve, and think across disciplines, which are crucial skills in the workplace [7].…”
