The Practice Research Of Developing Computational Thinking In Primary Robot Teaching

With the increasing influence of information technology,middle and primary schools foster students' information technology capacity having a more gradual shift from paying attention to technology itself to hidden thinking ability.Therefore,the cultivation of computational thinking attracts middle and primary schools' attention.The study found that although the cultivation of computational thinking in middle and primary schools is brought into focus at present,quite unified training scheme have not formed.Robot teaching,is one of the information technology teachings in primary school,gets the rapid development in recent years,which leads to new teaching ideas also quietly to raise and people begin to consider that how to cultivate students' thinking ability in robot courses.This study builds the computational thinking's cultivation model in robot teaching for primary school students base on analyzing existing computational thinking researches,which applies to teaching practice and finishes teaching practice about fostering students' computational thinking in robot courses of primary school.This study consists of the following four parts:1.The first part is the first and second chapter of the thesis.This paper mainly illustrates research background of the subject and summarizes overseas and domestic research status and the development of computational thinking's current situation by literature review,then clears significance,aim,content and method of this study.Summarizing related concepts and characteristics of computational thinking;establishing a viewpoint that computational thinking is the problem solving process;analyze the feasibility that it fosters computational thinking in elementary robot teaching;illustrating the inspiration about Constructivist Learning Theory and Cooperative Learning Theory of this study.2.The part two is the third and fourth chapters of the thesis and the main body ofthe paper.In this part,building computational thinking's cultivating model in primary robot teaching based on analyzing computational thinking capability elements in primary robot teaching and robot teaching content.In the third chapter of the paper,the point is that it makes clear elementary school students' computational thinking ability elements,which are abstraction,problem decomposition,arithmetic,debug and migration by analyzing the procedure that computational thinking capability elements and thinking development of primary school students.Selecting appropriate robot teaching content according to Pupils' fostering objectives of computational thinking.In chapter four,elaborating how to foster abstraction,problem decomposition,arithmetic,debug and migration abilities in primary robot teaching aimed above factors.3.The third part is chapter five and six of this paper and teaching practices.This part mainly uses action study based on relevant researches in part two which develop the cultivation of computational thinking in primary robot teaching practical activities,making relevant analysis of process and results about practical activity and proving its rationality and feasibility.4.In part four,which is the summary and forecast and the chapter seven of the paper.Summarizing studies have been conducted and forecasting of the next stage's research work.
