Creative Eduction School-based Curriculum Design And Teaching Evaluation With SCRATCH In Primary School Based On The Cultivation Of Computational Thinking

Computational thinking is a kind of scientific thinking.Computational thinking and theoretical thinking and positive thinking are listed as three scientific thinking.Based on the "core accomplishment of Chinese students ' development in 2016," the standard of Information Technology Curriculum(2017 edition)of the General high school has been published.Computational thinking should be one of the key training abilities in information technology course has been put forwards in this Standard.The emphasis on the cultivation of computational thinking is evident,and this emphasis will advance the development of the information technology to a new stage."Creative eduction school-based curriculum design and teaching evaluation with SCRATCH in primary school based on the cultivation of computational thinking " is the author's exploration of teaching professional development as a front-line primary school information technology teacher.This research relies on the convenience of the author as a front-line teacher.The author can get real and effective feedback from students for the first time in the course of curriculum design and implementation.According to consulting the literature,this paper defines the concepts of Computational Thinking and creative education.And based on "learning by doing",constructivism theory and project-based learning theory,and combining the characteristics of Scratch software and the author's own computer professional background,the author finally determines the curriculum design framework and Computational Thinking evaluation dimensions.The design and implementation of the curriculum is based on the students of grade five in Gan Li school,Longgang District,Shenzhen.The curriculum design and implementation are almost synchronous and cross-cutting,with the "design case-interest group trial teaching-control group comparison-experimental group formal teaching" mode.This model is just a measure taken in the case of limited research time to maximize the scientificity of design cases.If the time is enough,the author suggests that the curriculum should be revised after two to three semesters and finally be completed.Despite the lack of time in the process of this study,the results have demonstrated the superiority of the curriculum developed in this study.Through collecting the students' works and collecting the test works of the whole grade organized at the end of the semester,the author analyzed the data according to the dimension of computational thinking,and concluded that the improvement of Computational Thinking of the students in the experimental group was higher than that of the students in the control group.It is proved that this study is valuable.This research takes primary school students as the research object.The author wishes that the results of this research will give some enlightenment to information technology educators in the future.And the author also hopes that this research can play a role in raising public attention to primary school information technology subject education.
