In view of the increasing influence of data-based intelligent technologies, known as artificial intelligence (AI), on our daily lives, developing digital skills is a key social task that cannot be achieved in formal educational settings alone. With a focus on algorithms literacy and sourcing skills (the ability to competently evaluate sources), the project investigates how key aspects of digital skills can be fostered in young people in out-of-school educational settings.

Probabilistic Decisions of Children
Project management
Prof. Dr. Tilmann Betsch Duration
10/2013 - 12/2020 Funding
Several donors
592 000 €
At what age and under what conditions do children systematically use probabilistic information in decision-making? How do they use it - as criteria for orienting selective information searches and/or as weights of values in the integration of information? With regard to these questions, the empirical research findings are poor and inconsistent. Against the background of two model classes of decision making (multiple strategy approach vs. connectionist approach) competing assumptions about…
