Research On The Design And Application Of Aeromodelling Curriculum In Primary School Based On The Concept Of Maker Education

In the era when the whole people call for innovation and respond to it,the maker movement is popular all over the world.People from all walks of life try to innovate,and those who dare to innovate are all "makers".In the upsurge of "maker for all",education also follows closely,and puts forward "maker education",which integrates the maker spirit into all aspects of education and teaching.How to carry out maker education is still being explored.In this way,the development of school-based curriculum in primary and secondary schools has provided fertile soil for the development of maker education.Among them,the "aeromodelling curriculum",which implements " Inquiry based science education " most thoroughly,has attracted the attention of many schools.The number of primary and secondary schools offering aeromodelling curriculum in Chengdu is increasing.However,aeromodelling teaching is faced with the awkward dilemma of no clear teaching goal,no fixed teaching content and no standard courseware,which seriously hinders the development and improvement of aeromodelling teaching.Therefore,under the guidance of maker education concept,I designed the development mode of aeromodelling course.According to this curriculum development model,combined with the actual situation of the school and the needs of students,I conducted the development of the elementary school aeromodelling curriculum.At the same time,two rounds of action research were conducted in an elementary school in Chengdu for students enrolled in 2018 and students enrolled in 2019.In this research process,problems were found and solved,the aeromodelling curriculum development model was constantly improved,and the teaching effect of the curriculum was tested,and the design,implementation and effect verification of the elementary school aeromodelling curriculum based on the maker education concept were completed.In this research,I have consulted a lot of domestic and foreign literature on makers,the concept of maker education,the development of maker courses,model aircraft teaching and course design.Through the literature analysis,combining with the actual situation,the paper selects the appropriate course development model as the reference basis,and designs the model airplane course development model based on the maker education concept.I investigated and understood the current situation of model airplane teaching in Chengdu,and made it clear that model airplane teaching in Chengdu is faced with the problems of lack of professional teachers and random teaching content.According to the designed model aircraft curriculum development model,this study has completed the development of the primary school introductory model aircraft curriculum,a total of 16 models,divided into four power sources.Finally,I took two rounds of action research to verify the effectiveness of model airplane course development model and whether the developed courses can improve the quality of student makers and the teaching effect of model airplane.The research shows that the aeromodelling curriculum development model based on maker education concept is effective,the curriculum meets the needs of students and is suitable for aeromodelling teaching in primary schools.The teaching effect of the course is good,which solves the problems such as the lack of the course system,the random teaching process and the inability to evaluate the teaching effect in model airplane teaching,and points out the target and direction of model airplane teaching.At the same time,the course conforms to the maker education concept,improves students' practical ability,innovation consciousness,sharing consciousness,and accumulation of interdisciplinary knowledge,comprehensively improves their maker quality,and well develops students' interest in aerospace.
