4. 研究中心科研项目2026年最新的成果

IEI202501 - Intelligent PBL Teaching Framework Development

自2026年春季学期启动以来，人工智能驱动的小学项目式学习创新实践项目S2阶段已顺利实施近三个月。在8所合作学校的共同努力下，项目在课程实践、学生素养发展、教师专业成长等方面取得了积极进展，整理如下。

一、项目覆盖广泛，实践推进扎实

S2阶段共覆盖8所合作学校，涉及学生约550人、教师40余人。各校围绕真实问题，共开展了约60个跨学科PBL项目，涵盖语文、综合实践、信息技术、科学、艺术等多个学科领域。项目主题丰富多元，既有“跟着课本去旅行·祖国山河我来赞”等文化传承类项目，也有“初识横街”非遗美食调研等社区探究类项目，还有设计可动小车、3D建模、AI游戏设计等工程技术类项目。目前，各学校已顺利进入项目第四阶段“分享与反思”，部分学校已完成项目成果制作，计划于6月下旬进行集中展示。

二、学生素养提升，数据初步验证

项目组于学期初完成了学生综合素养与AI素养的前测问卷，回收有效样本537份。初步分析显示：

综合素养：学生百分制均值为69.7分，且随年级升高稳步提升（3年级65.6分 → 6年级73.2分）。参与过S1项目的学生综合素养比未参与者高出6.1个百分点，说明项目具有持续的积极影响。

AI素养：整体均值为58%。学生在AI知识维度表现较好（64%），但在AI使用与人机沟通方面仍较薄弱（50%），尤其在提问具体性、迭代优化、信息验证等方面有待加强。这些发现为后续教学优化提供了精准靶向。

课堂观察进一步印证了上述发现：学生使用AI工具的意识已初步形成，但普遍存在提示词简单、缺乏追问习惯等问题。项目组已通过联合教研、提供提问框架卡片等方式进行针对性干预。

三、教师专业成长，学术成果初显

在项目带动下，合作校教师的专业发展意识显著增强。太仓三小教师团队自主申报了“面向双素养共生的小学PBL+AI教学模式构建与评价研究”课题，文景实验学校教师积累了丰富的AI融合教学策略，并形成了可复用的课堂案例。此外，项目组各校对接人每周/双周已组织联合教研活动（答疑、计划研讨共创），累计开展课堂观察15余次，收集教师自填表10余份，为教师反思与成长提供了持续支持。

四、暑期研学与峰会筹备有序推进

为进一步深化项目成果，项目组将于7月在西浦太仓校区举办“PBL未来创造者”研学营，邀请各合作校推荐的20个优秀项目团队（约40名学生）进行深度打磨、教授指导与路演准备。7月20日将举办项目峰会，设置项目路演、海报展示、专家点评及颁奖典礼等环节，预计参与师生200余人。目前各校正在进行项目推荐，筹备工作正按计划推进。

五、下一步工作重点

6月下旬完成学生AI素养后测，进行前后测对比分析；

6月下旬完成学生与教师访谈，收集质性数据；

7月中下旬举办研学营与项目峰会，总结S2阶段成果；

8月中旬完成《S2研究总结报告》及各校分析简报。

4. Latest research outcomes from the research centre (2026)

IEI202501 - Intelligent PBL Teaching Framework Development

Since its launch in the spring semester of 2026, Phase S2 of the XJTLU AI-Enabled PBL Primary School Programme has been successfully implemented for nearly three months. With the joint efforts of eight partner schools, the programme has achieved positive progress in curriculum implementation, student competency development, and teacher professional growth. The key outcomes are summarised as follows.

I. Broad Coverage and Solid Implementation

Phase S2 involves eight partner schools, covering approximately 550 students and more than 40 teachers. Around 60 interdisciplinary PBL projects have been carried out, addressing real-world problems across subjects including Chinese, integrated practice, information technology, science, and arts. The project themes are rich and diverse, ranging from cultural heritage projects such as “Travelling with Textbooks · Praising China’s Landscapes” to community-based inquiries like the “First Encounter with Hengjie” intangible cultural heritage food study, as well as engineering and technology projects such as designing movable cars, 3D modelling, and AI game design. Currently, all schools have successfully entered the fourth phase– “Sharing and Reflection” – with some having completed their project outputs and planning to hold exhibitions in late June.

II. Student Competency Improvement – Preliminary Data Validation

At the beginning of the semester, the programme team administered pre-test questionnaires on student comprehensive competencies and AI literacy, collecting 537 valid responses. Preliminary analysis shows:

Comprehensive Competencies: The average score on a 100-point scale is 69.7, with a clear upward trend by grade level (Grade 3: 65.6 → Grade 6: 73.2). Students who participated in Phase S1 scored 6.1 points higher than those who did not, indicating a sustained positive impact of the programme.

AI Literacy: The overall average is 58%. Students performed relatively well in AI knowledge (64%), but weaker in AI usage and human-AI communication (50%), particularly in the specificity of their prompts, iterative optimisation, and information verification. These findings provide precise targets for future instructional improvement.

Classroom observations further confirmed these results: students have developed basic awareness of using AI tools, but commonly struggle with simple prompts and a lack of iterative questioning. The programme team has responded through joint teaching research activities and the provision of “prompt framework cards”

III. Teacher Professional Growth and Initial Academic Outputs

Driven by the programme, teachers from partner schools have shown significantly enhanced professional development. The teacher team at Taicang No.3 Primary School independently applied for a research project entitled “Constructing and Evaluating a PBL+AI Teaching Model for Symbiotic Development of Dual Competencies in Primary Schools”. Teachers at Wenjing Experimental School have accumulated rich experience in integrating AI into PBL and have developed replicable classroom case studies. In addition, the programme’s school coordinators have organised weekly or bi-weekly joint teaching research activities (including Q&A sessions, planning discussions, and collaborative creation), conducted over 15 classroom observations, and collected more than 10 teacher self-report forms, providing ongoing support for teacher reflection and growth.

IV. Summer Camp and Summit Preparation Underway

To further deepen project outcomes, the programme team will hold the “PBL Future Creator” Summer Camp in July at XJTLU’s Taicang Campus, inviting 20 outstanding project teams (approximately 40 students) recommended by partner schools for in-depth project polishing, professor mentoring, and presentation preparation. On 20 July, a Project Summit will be held, featuring project presentations, poster exhibitions, expert reviews, and an award ceremony, with an expected participation of over 200 teachers and students. Currently, all schools are conducting project nominations, and preparations are proceeding as planned.

V. Next Steps

Late June: Administer post-test on student AI literacy and conduct pre-post comparative analysis.

Late June: Complete student and teacher interviews to collect qualitative data.

Mid-to-late July: Hold the Summer Camp and Project Summit to summarise Phase S2 outcomes.

Mid-August: Complete the Phase S2 Research Summary Report and school-specific analytical briefs.
