Abstract
With the in-depth advancement of smart education, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and project-based learning (PBL) has become an important direction of curriculum reform. By sorting out the research progress at home and abroad, this paper clarifies the connotation and characteristics of smart education, compares its differences from traditional digital education, analyzes the needs and pain points of curriculum construction combined with practical cases, and finally constructs a "goal-content-implementation-evaluation" four-dimensional integrated curriculum construction model. This study provides theoretical support and practical paths for the in-depth integration of AI and project-based learning under the background of smart education.
