The topic I will be working on is inquiry learning. Inquiry-based learning is student-oriented, and teachers will adjust guidance methods at any time based on student feedback. Taking my subtopic as an example, which is how will the spread of AI affect labor demand and supply? How will employment rates and real wages change accordingly? At this time, I will present the labor demand-supply chart to the students, and propose two topics for students to discuss: If AI has wide coverage in future companies, some companies without AI technology will face bankruptcy and close down. So at this time, are the company or the workers affected? In addition, who will be affected if AI causes some unskilled labor to lose jobs? Students can choose a side to discuss the impact of AI on them from the perspective of companies and workers, and they can set up different scenarios to speculate on how the relationship between labor and supply will change. Through the evolution of supply and demand, students will discover that some situations are not happening as they thought. When the students are interested, let the students learn independently and try to move the line on the coordinates to the left and right to understand the changes in the employment rate and actual salary.

Inquiry-based learning needs to be combined with cognitivism, aiming at constructing labor demand and supply models in students’ brains, and skillfully applying them to any possible future situations.
