Abstract:

In the era of artificial intelligence, education is undergoing profound transformation, with curriculum culture at the core of this change. As a new cultural driving force in the new era of education, artificial intelligence technology is gradually propelling the structural transformation of curriculum culture through its technological platforms, core functions, and effects. This transformation manifests itself in several ways: curriculum culture, while maintaining its goals of empowerment and transmission-innovation, is shifting toward a learning revolution centered on cognition and development; while carrying curricular knowledge and activities, it is transitioning toward a classification of knowledge that balances internalization and external storage; the subjects of curriculum culture are increasingly emphasizing human-machine synergy alongside national and individual dimensions; and curriculum culture management is moving from standardized and autonomous models toward an evaluation paradigm that emphasizes interaction and inspiration.In response to the transformation of curriculum culture in the intelligent era, it is essential to prioritize the cultivation of digital literacy to equip individuals with the awareness and capabilities necessary for participating in learning revolution. This can be achieved by optimizing strategies for curriculum resource allocation and innovating paradigms for curriculum activities to support the restructuring of knowledge classification and organizational forms. Additionally, a human-centered and harmonious process of regulation should be upheld to preserve the humanistic spirit in curriculum evaluation. Ultimately, these efforts aim to realize a seamless integration of technology and humanism, efficiency and warmth, and intelligence and ethics.

Key words: curriculum culture, cultural transformation, Chinese-style education modernization, intelligent era
