Abstract

Recently, small class course teaching, with less than 30 students, seems to outperform the traditional large class course teaching in the field of education. Students can use online private course platform to preview course-related knowledge and promote practical experiences of offline courses. In this study, an evaluation strategy has been proposed for precision education protocol in small class course (SCC) based on artificial intelligence (AI), with the goal of focusing on the curriculum design and teaching approaches. By using the AI precision education model, the teaching approaches of SCC can be integrated into the traditional classroom. The results showed that the AI precision education model can promote the learning outcomes and enhance students’ learning achievements.
