Development And Implementation Of School-based Curriculum Of Scratch Programming Based On Computational Thinking Training

Computational thinking has been recognized as one of the most important skills of everyone in the middle of twenty-first Century,equal to listening,speaking,reading and writing.The goal of information technology curriculum is to improve students'information literacy and comprehensive ability to solve problems.After learning the theory related to computing thinking,computational thinking is one of the core contents of information literacy.I think that the training of computational thinking is the teaching goal of the information technology subject,providing the inner core value of the subject,and at the same time,students can learn to use computational thinking to solve complex problems,for information literacy.And the improvement of problem solving ability is of great significance.In the Ningxia edition of information technology textbooks,program design has chosen to carry out VB teaching.VB involves code and professional terms and concepts.It is difficult for junior high school students to learn and difficult to use.The introduction of Scratch creative interest programming into the primary and secondary school information technology course will be a valuable supplement to the lack of program design training in the current juvenile information technology course system in China.Through the new hot spot of Scratch,the author also serves as the carrier tool for the training of computational thinking,and develops a school based Scratch curriculum with school characteristics and the actual situation of the students,and carries out the implementation and research of the teaching.Research shows that,through the learning of Scratch programming,most students can use Scratch to design and create simple games,animations and stories and other works,which not only stimulate students'interest in learning program design,but also cultivate students'creative ability in practice,raise students' ability to calculate thinking,and cultivate students'ability.Careful observation and understanding of life enhance their ability to communicate and cooperate with others and increase their self-confidence.
