Developing a Holistic Al Literacy Framework for Children
The increasing prevalence of AI in everyday life has intensified the emphasis on teaching AI literacy to children. Our findings led to the development of a holistic AI literacy framework for children, which contains three high-level dimensions and eight content areas of AI literacy: AI awareness, AI mechanics, and AI impacts. This framework contributes a research-based, comprehensive, and current definition of children's AI literacy, advancing its conceptualization in early life stages and guiding future AI education.
Executive Impact

AI Awareness
This dimension focuses on developing a general, conceptual understanding of AI. It includes AI definition (what intelligence is, what AI is, differences from non-AI systems), AI application (use cases across various industries like art, healthcare, education), and AI history (major historical events and application evolution).
AI Mechanics
This dimension introduces the working process behind AI and cultivates the ability to train ML models. It covers AI input (data basics, data preparation, collection, pre-processing), learning procedure (model basics, ML methods/styles like supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement learning, and model development including training, evaluation, and optimization), and AI output (various formats of AI outcomes).
AI Impacts
This dimension explains the ramifications of AI technologies on individuals and society and seeks to shape children's responsible use and design of AI. It covers AI implication (positive impacts, ethical considerations like bias, transparency, privacy, security, misuse, employment ethics) and responsible practice (ethical consumption and responsible design).

Papers Analyzed
Our framework is built upon a comprehensive systematic review of current educational practices.
Age-Appropriateness: A Key Research Implication
Our analysis reveals a significant skew in AI education interventions towards older children. Most existing interventions target high-schoolers (49.5%) and middle school students (46.7%), with very limited content for kindergartens (6.7%) and lower primary grades (10.5%). This highlights a critical need for future research focusing on empirically validated age-appropriate AI learning content for younger children.

Phased Implementation Roadmap
A strategic approach to integrating our AI Literacy Framework into your educational programs or organizational training.
Phase 1: Needs Assessment & Customization
Conduct a comprehensive review of existing curricula and organizational goals. Identify specific age groups and learning objectives. Customize the framework's content areas and depth to align with your unique context and learner profiles. Develop tailored learning materials.
Phase 2: Pilot Program & Educator Training
Implement a pilot AI literacy program with a selected group of learners and educators. Provide intensive training to teachers on the framework's dimensions, content areas, and age-appropriate pedagogical strategies. Gather initial feedback and refine materials and teaching methods.
Phase 3: Scaled Rollout & Continuous Evaluation
Expand the AI literacy program across all target age groups or organizational units. Establish robust assessment tools to measure learning outcomes and effectiveness. Implement continuous feedback loops and data-driven adjustments to ensure ongoing relevance and impact.
Phase 4: Advanced Integration & Community Building
Integrate AI literacy with broader STEM education or interdisciplinary studies. Foster a community of practice among educators to share best practices and resources. Explore opportunities for advanced AI projects and real-world applications to deepen learners' engagement and skills.
