MOU signed between C.D.E.C. and Macau Association
for the Promotion of Artificial Intelligence Education

教區天主教教育委員會與人工智能教育促進會於二零二二年三月十七日簽訂合作備忘錄，旨在為合作推進本地人工智能課程，並以共同推廣和普及人工智能應用與教育教學為目標。合作備忘錄由教區天主教教育委員會辦事處主任陳庭鋒先生、人工智能教育促進會理事長金鑫先生代表雙方簽署。

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) aimed at jointly promoting Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) curricula and popularizing the use of A.I. in local education and teaching has been signed between the Diocesan Catholic Education Commission (Comissão Diocesana da Educação Católica, C.D.E.C) and Macau Association for the Promotion of Artificial Intelligence Education. The MOU was signed on 17 March 2022 on behalf of the two parties by Mr. Stephen Chan Teng Fong, Office Director of the C.D.E.C., and Mr. Jin Xin, Chairman of Macau Association for the Promotion of Artificial Intelligence Education.

當日所簽署合作備忘錄訂立了雙方計劃合作的內容，包括人工智能教育的教材編寫、課程建設及配備、師資培訓等執行工作，以便將教學課程與智能化教具結合，深入實踐探索創新教育新範式，再向本地的中、小學校推廣，讓學校鼓勵學生積極參與人工智能課程實踐和學習課程，確保推動智慧技術與教學融合，提升學習成效。

The signed MOU defines the scope of the planned collaboration between the two parties, including development of teaching materials, compilation of multiple curricula with their essential equipment, as well as the structure of teachers’ training, so as to integrate intelligent teaching aids and innovative education into existing pedagogies. The collaboration then sees a series of outreach approaches for schools to encourage their students to actively participate in A.I. learning programmes that incorporate smart technologies to enhance the effectiveness of learning.

人工智能實驗室教育中心早前於二月下旬開幕

隨著合作備忘錄的簽署，雙方今後將就實現共同的理念而協商個別的執行項目，更期望日後能在精準教學、自主學習、智慧考評、創新教育四大「智慧教育」板塊上，透過人工智能教育促進會所建立的人工智能實驗室教育中心，進一步協助本地學校鞏固教與學的智能化，充分培養學生面向廿一世紀的素養和能力。

Following the MOU signing, both parties will set out to discuss individual projects to realise their common vision, in hope of further assisting local schools to equally develop in all four sectors of "smart education", namely individualised target teaching; guided self-learning; smart assessment; and innovative education. It is anticipated that through the A.I. Education Centre (Learning Laboratory) established by the Macau Association for the Promotion of Artificial Intelligence Education, the two parties can contribute together in laying the foundation for schools to “go smart”, as well as in developing students' literacy skills for the 21st Century.
