澳大利亚中学生AI素养、安全意识与STEM职业抱负：评估工作坊干预的影响
AI Literacy, Safety Awareness, and STEM Career Aspirations of Australian Secondary Students: Evaluating the Impact of Workshop Interventions
AI总结：
本研究评估了工作坊干预对澳大利亚中学生AI素养、安全意识和STEM职业兴趣的影响，发现干预提升了学生对AI的认知和兴趣，但需持续干预以影响长期职业抱负。
摘要：
深度伪造和其他形式的合成媒体对青少年构成了日益增长的安全风险，但关于学生接触和相关行为的证据仍然有限。本研究评估了Day of AI Australia设计的工作坊干预措施对澳大利亚中学生（7-10年级）AI素养和概念理解的影响。采用混合方法，结合干预前后的调查（干预前N=205；干预后N=163），我们分析了学生识别日常工具中AI的能力、对AI伦理、训练和安全的理解，以及对STEM相关职业的兴趣。基线数据显示显著的合成媒体风险：82.4%的学生报告见过深度伪造，18.5%报告分享过，7.3%报告创作过。结果显示，干预后学生自报的AI知识和信心有所提高，同时对广泛使用的平台如Netflix、Spotify和TikTok中AI的识别能力有所改善。这种模式表明，学生从将这些工具视为仅仅是“算法驱动”的转变为认识到它们是AI驱动的系统。学生还报告了工作坊后对STEM职业的兴趣增加；然而，效应大小较小，表明需要持续的干预措施，而不仅仅是单次工作坊，才能影响长期的抱负。总体而言，研究结果支持可扩展的AI素养计划，这些计划将基础AI概念与明确强调合成媒体安全的强调相结合。
英文摘要：
Deepfakes and other forms of synthetic media pose growing safety risks for adolescents, yet evidence on students' exposure and related behaviours remains limited. This study evaluates the impact of Day of AI Australia's workshop-based intervention designed to improve AI literacy and conceptual understanding among Australian secondary students (Years 7-10). Using a mixed-methods approach with pre- and post-intervention surveys (N=205 pre; N=163 post), we analyse changes in students' ability to identify AI in everyday tools, their understanding of AI ethics, training, and safety, and their interest in STEM-related careers. Baseline data revealed notable synthetic media risks: 82.4% of students reported having seen deepfakes, 18.5% reported sharing them, and 7.3% reported creating them. Results show higher self-reported AI knowledge and confidence after the intervention, alongside improved recognition of AI in widely used platforms such as Netflix, Spotify, and TikTok. This pattern suggests a shift from seeing these tools as merely "algorithm-based" to recognising them as AI-driven systems. Students also reported increased interest in STEM careers post-workshop; however, effect sizes were small, indicating that sustained approaches beyond one-off workshops may be needed to influence longer-term aspirations. Overall, the findings support scalable AI literacy programs that pair foundational AI concepts with an explicit emphasis on synthetic media safety.
