Programme Aims

On successful completion of the programme, participants will be able to:

  • explain the fundamental concepts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and their applications in enhancing secondary mathematics teaching and learning;
  • apply and assess the effectiveness of various AI tools and technologies to facilitate teaching complex mathematical topics such as Number and Algebra; Measures, Shape and Space; Data Handling and Mathematical Modelling ;
  • design AI-enhanced instructional activities and assessments that promote personalised learning, active engagement, and deeper understanding of mathematical concepts; and
  • critically evaluate ethical, privacy, and practical considerations related to using AI in mathematics education, and explore future opportunities for AI-driven teaching innovations.

Programme Structure

The programme comprises the following core course of 3 credit points:

AI Applications in Mathematics Education for Secondary School Teachers

This course explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and mathematics in education. Participants will learn foundational AI concepts, the mathematical principles underpinning AI, and practical applications in teaching mathematics. The program covers key topics such as machine learning, neural networks, data analysis, and AI-powered assessment tools. Through interactive lessons, case studies, and project-based activities, educators will develop strategies to incorporate AI tools into their curriculum, enhance student engagement, and promote ethical AI use. Additionally, a self-paced module provides supplementary resources for ongoing professional development. By the end of the course, teachers will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to effectively leverage AI in the classroom, fostering innovative and personalized learning experiences.

Medium of Instruction

The medium of instruction is mainly Chinese (Cantonese) and will be supplemented by English where appropriate.

Entrance Requirements

To be eligible for admission, applicants should be:

  •    in-service secondary school Mathematics teacher; and
  •    recommended by school principals.

Award

To be awarded a Certificate of Completion, participants must obtain a pass in all assessment tasks required and successfully fulfill the attendance requirements as stipulated by the programme.

Other Information

This Government-funded programme is supported by the Education Bureau (EDB). Schools which release teachers to take this programme are eligible for appointing supply teachers, if deemed necessary. Government and aided schools shall contact the EDB for detailed arrangements. Private and DSS schools shall make their own arrangements for the employment of supply teachers.

Participants who complete our PDPs are eligible to apply for credit transfer if they enroll in our postgraduate programmes. Their applications will be considered on an individual basis.

Remarks: Each school can recommend more than one teacher.
