Abstract
Textbooks are essential materials for students to acquire subject knowledge and carry out subject learning, as well as an important basis for teachers to carry out classroom teaching. This paper conducts a comparative analysis of the main popular artificial intelligence textbooks in primary and secondary schools in mainland China based on “General High School Information Technology Curriculum Standards”, and carries out comparative analysis in four aspects, including teaching content, textbook style, teaching activity arrangement, and teaching evaluation design. It is found that the preparation of AI teaching materials is showing a fast development, but at the same time there are problems such as the lack of unified curriculum standards.
