Harness innovative technology and unleash scientific potential

The Salvation Army Centaline Charity Fund Queen's Hill School takes the mission of cultivating students to become good citizens who "love life, love learning, protect the environment, and benefit the community", and educate them to learn to be grateful and cherish, to develop their talents, and thus move towards a prosperous life. In terms of STEAM education, Principal Chen Xiquan hopes to provide students with a lively and diversified learning experience, allowing students to think and master different scientific concepts through activities. Through interdisciplinary courses, extracurricular activities, etc., the school enhances students' information technology knowledge, technology skills and develops the correct attitude, so as to cultivate the talents needed in the 21st century.

Focus on information literacy and improve independent thinking ability

Artificial intelligence is a hotly discussed topic nowadays. Principal Chen Xiquan has considered the issue of "controlling artificial intelligence". Therefore, when launching artificial intelligence courses, the school has always attached great importance to cultivating students' information literacy. Principal Chen said: "The school emphasizes independent thinking first and foremost in the curriculum, because whether it was in the era of using browsers to search or now, there will be false information on the Internet. Teaching students to use independent thinking to judge and filter is the purpose of information literacy." Therefore, in terms of privacy, the school provides education in accordance with the guidelines of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, and provides information literacy and security education in the curriculum. He also believes that students need to have correct values ​​and positive thinking, and learn how to use technology correctly. Through the design of occasions, problems, learning tools, etc., the school enables students to improve their personal cultivation and strengthen their inner and outer growth in the process of living and learning. It is necessary to have the values ​​of information literacy so that students can accurately judge the authenticity of online information.

AI is integrated into the campus TV station to promote an innovation and technology learning atmosphere throughout the school

The school has added a large number of artificial intelligence elements to the campus TV station, such as AI CG Effect, artificial intelligence virtual anchor, etc. Students can learn to use artificial intelligence technology from extracurricular activities and demonstrate their learning results, giving them a sense of success and engagement. More importantly, it can pave the way for their understanding of artificial intelligence as early as possible. Director Lu Weidi, who is in charge of STEAM education, said that integrating artificial intelligence elements into the campus TV station can boost the atmosphere of the whole school. In addition, the campus TV station will develop dramas with themes based on the values ​​advocated by the school, and launch interactive theater to use the influence and works of the campus TV station to enhance the students' understanding of artificial intelligence.

Lay a good foundation of knowledge to connect with middle school curriculum

The school understands that when students reach primary school 6, they also need to consider transition to secondary school when learning programming. Therefore, in the Primary 6 curriculum, the school will expose students to real code programming, that is, "Real Coding". In the classroom, the teacher will use an artificial intelligence chatbot to help students understand the concept of "Real Coding". Director Lu said: "This can further pave the way for the connection between primary and secondary schools, because the current Education Bureau has launched a framework that requires artificial intelligence enrichment courses in junior high schools, so that students can have relevant knowledge base and have an early understanding of artificial intelligence in high school, which will help them perform after they enter middle school." He added: "Artificial intelligence does not only have large language models (LLM) and ChatGPT, but is very diverse, such as AI drawing, AI Video generation, image recognition and face recognition are all the basic development directions of artificial intelligence. "Therefore, the school will allow students to make various attempts. For example, sixth-grade students will try to build an artificial intelligence self-driving car and learn to write mobile phone programs. The program uses artificial intelligence technology to perform image recognition and cultivate students' foundation in artificial intelligence.

School-based chatbot to establish independent learning habits

Principal Chen hopes that students can not only apply technology in their subjects, but also learn to learn independently, so as to cultivate the habit of lifelong learning in children. In order to provide learning support, the school has developed in science and technology subjects, allowing students to learn to use artificial intelligence to help themselves learn, so as to master more advanced technologies and adapt to society faster than humans in the future. For example, there is a school-based chatbot in the school, which is built and modified based on the LLM module. Different from the general ChatGPT, this school-based chat robot does not directly provide answers to students, but assists students in thinking in a guiding manner, thereby playing a role in helping students solve problems and further helping students learn independently. With artificial intelligence-assisted learning, students can use artificial intelligence to find answers before class. If they don't understand, they can ask the teacher to clarify their doubts, which greatly improves students' learning efficiency. In addition, the school-based chatbot will give additional questions to students, allowing students to deepen and consolidate their knowledge in the process of questioning.

Promote interdisciplinary model, make good use of technology and inspire creativity

The school adopts an interdisciplinary model and combines elements of artificial intelligence with STEAM education. The school’s STEAM AI curriculum responds to the Education Bureau’s planning approach and is organically integrated and naturally connected with all subjects. For example, in Chinese and English, students need to use prompt words when using chat robots. The school has courses on the prompt word framework, allowing students to learn the "one, two, and three principles" of the prompt word framework. They input the purpose, role, and tone in order. In addition to training their Chinese and English skills, it also cultivates children's imagination, and thus learns to control artificial intelligence. Director Lu said: "Our goal is to enable children to make good use of artificial intelligence, and we must not let artificial intelligence erase children's creativity."

Cultivate abilities and attitudes to grasp future social changes

Technology and science (including STEAM education) will be one of the school's key developments. Principal Chen said: "The future development of Hong Kong lies in technology and innovation. Children should have this attitude and idea and accept the elements of technological innovation. If Hong Kong wants to integrate with international standards, technology is necessary." In the future, artificial intelligence can bring convenience to schools on many levels. Director Lu said: "Artificial intelligence is used in different subjects. In terms of learning, it can bring academic help to students; in terms of assessment, for example, artificial intelligence technology can be applied to allow teachers to better understand students' strengths and weaknesses." In addition, in different subjects, such as English subjects, students only need to enter English The system will be able to display the corresponding artificial intelligence-generated pictures of words. Students can use artificial intelligence to make their own word cards to help students use image memory to read pictures and read words, and learn different English words for students whose English skills need to be improved. In the Chinese subject, after students learn poetry, they can use artificial intelligence to generate ink paintings to accompany the poems. In terms of teaching, teachers can give full play to their professionalism and foresight, cultivate students' abilities and attitudes, and lead them to adapt to the rapid changes in society in the 21st century.
