Preparation of Schoolchildren for the Olympiad on Artificial Intelligence

Abstract: 
The article presents a small part of the research results devoted to the development of scientific and methodological support of variant teaching of the basics of artificial intelligence in the course of computer science of basic general and secondary general education, concerning the preparation of schoolchildren for the Olympiad on artificial intelligence. The aim of the article is to actualize the problem of developing or selecting the necessary task material for purposeful preparation for school Olympiads on artificial intelligence. The content of theoretical and practical modules of the basics of artificial intelligence developed as a result of the research includes olympiad training in artificial intelligence for basic and high school students studying computer science at an advanced level. The research methodology consists of: integrative approach to the development of the methodology of variant teaching of the basics of artificial intelligence and the implementation of possible educational trajectories in the basic educational programs of basic general and secondary general education; experience in the development of the concept and content of the first All-Russian Olympiad of schoolchildren of grades 8-11 on artificial intelligence; expert activity in the Russian Union of Schoolchildren’s Olympiads and the results of surveys of teachers. General theoretical and empirical research methods were used. The conclusion about possible solution of the problem of development of training tasks for purposeful preparation of schoolchildren for the Olympiad on artificial intelligence and realization of the course on choice of participants of educational relations with the use of standard tasks of three stages of the Olympiad on artificial intelligence is made in the conclusion.
