Since the 21st century,with the rapid development of information technology,some experts pointed out that computational thinking should be the third kind of thinking that people should have after experimental thinking and theoretical thinking.The high school information technology curriculum standards released in 2017 in China clearly put forward the concept of computational thinking and regarded it as one of the core qualities of the discipline.In addition,the horizon 2017 report(basic education edition)also included computational thinking as a difficult challenge.It can be seen that computational thinking has become a way of thinking in response to the development of The Times.As soon as the computational thinking was put forward,it immediately aroused the high attention of researchers from all walks of life.In the field of education.general education,higher education and vocational education have made some explorations and researches on computational thinking.Especially in the field of higher education.,some research achievements have been made in the cultivation of computational thinking by combining the cultivation of computational thinking with the basic courses of university computer.In the field of vocational education,Chinese scholars have also done some research on computational thinking,but it is mainly concentrated in the field of higher vocational education,and there is little research on computational thinking in the field of secondary vocational education.Therefore,how to cultivate students' computational thinking ability in the field of secondary vocational education is a problem worth studying.Based on this,in order to enrich the research on computational thinking in secondary vocational education,the author combined the characteristics of secondary vocational courses,referred to the research results in the field of higher education,and took the computer application foundation course as an example to carry out the applied research on the reconstruction of secondary vocational project courses oriented to the cultivation of computational thinking.The research mainly includes the following three parts:Firstly,by sorting out relevant literatures and analyzing the connotation of computational thinking,this study makes clear that the core connotation of computational thinking of secondary vocational students is to be able to find and characterize problems and thus solve them.Secondly,the author designed a questionnaire about the computational thinking of secondary vocational school students,conducted a questionnaire survey of students in secondary vocational schools,and conducted in-depth interviews with teachers in secondary vocational schools.The study found that there are many problems in the training of computational thinking in secondary vocational schools,such as the current secondary vocational students' understanding,and understanding of'computational thinking is not clear,teachers in the teaching process mainly focused on skill-based training,secondary vocational schools large class capacity,inappropriate professional textbooks,traditional evaluation methods and so on.In view of the above problems,the author believes that it is an effective measure to cultivate vocational students'computational thinking in project courses.Third,the author based on the results of-questionnaire survey,the reference of the existing research results on project course,clear secondary project guidelines and constituent elements of the course,the design of secondary vocational curriculum construction process,and USES the experimental approach,with secondary vocational"computer application foundation" course as an example,the project type to reconstruct the course content,in addition,the selection of design project in more detail and to carry out the practice research,based on the experimental classes of the questionnaire before and after the test data is analyzed,combined with observation of students' performance in class,teachers on the project curriculum evaluation analysis,and the analysis of the student work.The validity of the reconstructed project curriculum is preliminarily verified.
