The Ministry of Education today released a press release introducing "Python AI Online Diverse Elective Courses," co-developed with universities, to encourage high school students to learn programming languages, cultivate digital literacy, and enable programming design to become a key tool for exploring technology and the future.
The courses are structured to start with basic logic, variable operations, conditional statements, and loop applications, using life-relevant case studies. After teacher demonstrations, students will engage in hands-on practice.
The courses adopt a "cross-school remote teaching" model, breaking down geographical limitations. Students from both urban and remote areas can share top-tier teaching resources through online platforms, not only realizing educational equity but also showcasing the advantages of online electives in promoting resource sharing and cross-school exchange.
A student from Renwu High School in Kaohsiung City, who participated in the courses, shared that they initially thought writing programs required memorizing a large number of complex commands. After actual participation, they discovered that programming is essentially "another language" for communicating with computers. As long as the operational logic is understood, tasks can be completed step-by-step.
The Ministry of Education pointed out that during the learning process, students gradually build systematic thinking abilities. Particularly when program errors occur, they no longer simply wait for answers but begin to attempt self-debugging, find the causes, and make corrections, thus cultivating a spirit of "bravery in exploration and fearlessness of failure."
