Outline

This paper proposes a solution to the problem of physics and optics education in underdeveloped areas by utilizing small language models (SLMs). It points out the problem of deepening inequality in STEM education in underdeveloped areas due to poor infrastructure, insufficient educational resources, and unstable internet access, and argues that SLMs, which can operate offline, can be a scalable solution to solve these problems by acting as virtual teachers and supporting native language education and interactive learning. It emphasizes that intensive investment in AI technology can bridge the digital divide and promote the development of STEM education and scientific capacity in underprivileged communities.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
Education using SLM offers an effective approach to addressing inequalities in STEM education in underdeveloped regions.
SLM can help alleviate the problems of teacher shortage and lack of access to laboratories.
It suggests the possibility of bridging the digital divide and strengthening scientific capabilities through investment in AI technology.
Access to education can be improved by supporting native language education.
Limitations:
Additional validation and evaluation of the performance and accuracy of SLM are needed.
Research is needed on the long-term effectiveness and sustainability of SLM-based training.
Consideration of the special educational environments of underdeveloped regions and development of customized SLMs are needed.
Additional support systems are needed to ensure SLM accessibility and usability.
There is a need for discussion on how to secure the costs and resources required to develop and deploy SLM.
