Exploration On The Teaching Practice Of Scratch In Junior High School Based On Project Learning

Thanks to the advent of the era of intelligent education for all,the artificial intelligence,open source hardware design and programming courses have achieved great generalization and development in the junior high school information technology classes.Considering that programming course is a part of information technology teaching in junior high school,studying the way to cultivate and evaluate the comprehensive ability of students' information literacy has become the major focus of domestic scholars.Based on the project learning and project management theory,this paper combines with the characteristics of junior high school Scratch teaching by taking the teaching mode of taking project learning as the foundation,designs a project learning-based junior high school Scratch teaching mode,and then applies it to junior high school Scratch teaching.Rooted in domestic and overseas researches,along with the theoretical analysis as well as practical experiments,this paper aims to provide a systematic and feasible project learning teaching mode for the Scratch teaching in junior high school.By means of literature collection and study,this paper analyzes the connotation and characteristics of project learning,project management process,maker education,and project learning teaching mode.Meanwhile,the questionnaires,interviews and surveys are conducted on students once participated in junior high school Scratch study,so as to analyze the problems in teaching.From the theoretical point of view,the combination point of project learning,project management and junior high school Scratch teaching can be found.From the perspective of training methods and goals,the commonality between maker education and programming education is discovered,which can theoretically support the application of project learning and project management in junior high school Scratch teaching.In addition,according to the design idea,which is the basic process of project learning,the project learning teaching mode suitable for junior high school is proposed through combining with the five stages of project management process(starting,planning,implementation,ending and control),and integrating into the characteristics of junior high school students.In this paper,the project learning teaching mode and the traditional teaching mode are separately used in the Scratch teaching in two natural classes of the eighth grade of a middle school in Duyun City,Qiannan County,Guizhou Province.The comparison shows that the project learning teaching mode is advantageous in improving the comprehensive ability of learners' information literacy.
