Lesson Plan For Computer Science Students
Lesson Objectives:
Language Objectives:
Content Objectives:
Understand the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the software development process.
Identify current trends and tools that assist developers in programming with the help of AI.
Lesson Plan:
Language Component: Brief introduction by the teacher, outlining the lesson goals and explaining
basic terms such as AI, machine learning, and software development.
Activity: Listening to a short presentation or a video (e.g., TED Talk) on the role of AI in IT.
Material: A short article about the use of AI in programming tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, AI in
software testing).
Activity: Students work in pairs or groups, read a selected section, and answer comprehension
questions based on the text.
Activity: Students are divided into groups to discuss the following questions:
Teacher Presentation: Overview of popular AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Tabnine, Snyk AI) and
their functionality, focusing on how they assist developers.
Interactive Component: Each group selects one tool to discuss and presents key insights to the
class.
Task: In groups, students design a simple model or concept of an AI-powered tool for a chosen
area of software development (e.g., AI optimizing code, an AI tool for error analysis).
Presentation: Groups present their tool concept, explaining its features and potential benefits.
Summary: The teacher recaps the key points discussed during the lesson, reinforcing the key
vocabulary.
Reflection: Students share their opinions on how AI will impact their future careers as developers.
Supplementary Materials:
Technical articles on AI (curated by the teacher, e.g., from Medium, Towards Data Science, or tech
websites).
Homework:
Written Exercise: Write an essay (300-400 words) on the topic: Will AI take over software
development in the future? Discuss the potential risks and benefits.
