Development of STEM College Students'Core Competence and Educational Countermeasures in the Era of AI
Having sufficient STEM knowledge and skilled talents becomes the key for countries to maintain a leading position and strong competitiveness in future economic,medical,energy,technology and other fields.The Chinese government attaches great importance to the cultivation of STEM talents,and STEM education has been elevated to an important level of national development strategy.What is the effectiveness of STEM talent cultivation in China,and whether it can meet the new demands for STEM students'abilities in the era of artificial intelligence,are urgent issues that need to be addressed.This article is based on sample survey data from 32 universities in 17 provinces,regions,and cities.Starting from the key elements invested by universities,it empirically analyzes which educational elements can significantly improve the core abilities of STEM students in the era of AI.The findings are as follows:(1)STEM students have a phenomenon of convergence and"central depression"in their ability development,and ordinary undergraduate students with academic advantages have the lowest value-added scores for various abilities;(2)The employment substitution of AI does not follow traditional labor market competition rules.It is estimated that STEM students have a higher substitution risk than non STEM students,and students from"Double First Class"universities are higher than those from vocational colleges and other institutions.(3)Although the proportion of abilities that are harder to be replaced by AI is lower explained by higher education,universities are still the main battlefield for shaping students'core abilities.Among them,curriculum teaching is the most core practical element that affects students'core competencies,especially interdisciplinary courses,which have a very outstanding contribution to the development of high-level core abilities.It is suggested that universities should anchor the positioning of talent cultivation,promote interdisciplinary and integrated education,introduce a student evaluation system that advocates cooperation and win-win results,and comprehensively diversify the entire process,and reconstruct the connotation of excellent talents in the AI era.
