Abstract

This study investigates the development and quasi-experimental testing of an interdisciplinary curriculum in junior high school history education, viewed through the lens of core competencies and enhanced with deep learning technologies, specifically large language models. The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of embedding core competencies—critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity—within the history curriculum, and to extend these competencies using AI-driven analytical tools to boost students’ interdisciplinary insights and skills. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, the study compared an experimental group, which engaged in the AI-enhanced interdisciplinary curriculum, to a control group that followed the traditional history curriculum. Data were gathered via pre- and post-intervention assessments, which included measures of academic performance, student surveys on engagement and perception, and qualitative interviews. The introduction of deep learning tools facilitated more sophisticated analysis and application of historical data, encouraging a more dynamic interaction with the material. Key findings demonstrate that students participating in the interdisciplinary curriculum significantly improved their ability to integrate and apply historical knowledge across various disciplines, showing superior core competencies relative to the control group. These results underline the potential of integrating sophisticated XLNet Model in curriculum design to foster enhanced educational outcomes in junior high school history education.
