Abstract

Under the background of the digital education strategy in education, the cultivation of artificial intelligence data-intelligence literacy among vocational college students is becoming increasingly urgent. At present, higher vocational English teaching is confronted with dual challenges. Project-based learning (PBL) has deficiencies in cultivating higher-order qualities, while students’ use of generative artificial intelligence shows the characteristics of high frequency and low quality, lacking criticality and ethics. To this end, this study has constructed an integrated path for systematically cultivating data-intelligence literacy in PBL of higher vocational English. This research not only refines the connotation and cultivation mechanism of artificial intelligence literacy in specific disciplinary contexts, expands the theoretical boundaries of PBL teaching, but also provides an operational integrated solution for front-line teaching.
