Research On The Project Teaching Mode Of High School Information Technology For The Cultivation Of Computational Thinking

In a society with a growing degree of informatization,Computational thinking is becoming one of the essential skills for everyone.In the “Information Technology Curriculum Standards for Senior High Schools(2017 Edition)”,Computational thinking is listed as one of the core qualities of information technology disciplines,which emphasizes the importance and necessity of the cultivation of Computational thinking.This study infiltrates the process and method of project-based learning in instructional design,and on the basis of sorting out the research related to computational thinking,constructs a high school information technology project teaching mode oriented to the cultivation of computational thinking,and carries out experimental research in the course of information technology and verifies its teaching effect.This paper explores whether it is helpful to cultivate students' computational thinking,and summarizes the effective implementation strategies of cultivating Computational Thinking in information technology curriculum of senior high school,so as to provide practical reference for information technology teachers.The focus of this study includes five aspects: creativity,algorithmic thinking,collaboration,critical thinking and problem solving.The attitudinal factors affecting computational thinking are confidence,perseverance,tolerance,openness and collaboration.Attitudinal factors are also indispensable in the process of cultivating computational thinking.Based on the three-dimensional framework of computational thinking,the related knowledge of “algorithm and programming” is also sorted out.Secondly,according to the current practice and research status of Computational Thinking at home and abroad,on the basis of project teaching mode and cultivation mode of computational thinking,the high school information technology project teaching mode oriented to the cultivation of computational thinking is constructed.Finally,the research classes are selected for experimental research.Through classroom observation,student interviews and teaching reflection,the project teaching mode oriented to the cultivation of computational thinking is summarized and evaluated.The study selected XX and XX classes in the first grade of Changsha H Middle School for teaching experiments.Before the teaching experiment,the questionnaires were distributed to test the students' computer knowledge base,computational thinking cognition and ability to understand the teaching status.Before the teaching experiment,the students were pretested with the computational thinking scale,followed by the teaching practice.After the experiment,the post-test was carried out,and the statistical data was analyzed to test the development of computational thinking,and finally the conclusion was drawn.
