Curriculum Design And Development Of Metacognitive Ability Of Primary School Students Based On Mind Map

With the deep integration of information technology and teaching,great changes have taken place in education.The development of education in the new era puts forward new requirements for talents’ quality,which changes from simply focusing on knowledge transmission to guiding students how to learn and cultivating students’ willingness and ability of lifelong learning.The important basis of learning how to learn is to cultivate students’ learning ability,to make students learn to become the new goal of education and the focus of people’s attention,as well as to have good metacognitive ability.However,from the perspective of literature research and current investigation,the level of metacognitive ability of primary school students in China is generally low.As an indigenous person in the digital age,primary school students will face a more diverse and uncertain society in the future.Thus,cultivating good metacognitive ability at the beginning of learning can help students know how to learn earlier and faster and lay a solid foundation for future development.Then later students can grow into the master of a learning society.Therefore,this study aims at promoting the development of primary school students’ metacognitive ability through the metacognitive ability improvement course based on mind map,which can lay a foundation for primary school students to move towards lifelong learning,and provide a certain reference value for the followup researches of primary school students’ metacognitive ability training.Through literature review and analysis of the relevant research results of metacognitive ability training at home and abroad,it is found that system training and thinking training are very important for the cultivation of metacognitive ability.The use of thinking tools can promote the development of students’ metacognitive ability.But there is a lack of systematic courses of using thinking tools to improve primary school students’ metacognitive ability at present.Therefore,according to this situation of the weak metacognitive ability of primary school students in China,this study,under the guidance by Taylor’s goal model,teaching system design theory,cognitive development theory,educational goal classification theory and constructivism learning theory,chooses mind mapping as the thinking training tool and uses action research method and quasi experimental research method,through three rounds of action research Gradually optimize,to design and develop the curriculum content of six modules to improve the metacognitive knowledge,metacognitive experience and metacognitive skills of primary school students,and verify the implementation effect of the curriculum.The metacognitive ability improvement courses specifically include six modules: What is the Mind Map,Reasonable Planning Time Management,Reasonable Planning Objectives,How Make Notes Efficiently,Learning Tips,Learning Summarize reflect,all of which are progressive,linked with each other.It is based on the mind map and use the completion of learning activities as the main line.The curriculum with logical structure and close connection can improve the metacognitive ability of primary school students.Through the process portfolio evaluation,the primary school students’ metacognitive ability questionnaire and interview,and the analysis of the student`s study effect,the results show that the students master the mind map and apply it to the learning activities under the study of the metacognitive ability courses,thus their logical thinking is clearer and their learning quality is improved;in addition,the students can be more active in self planning,self-regulation and self summary of learning activities on the basis of cognitive knowledge,which promotes the improvement of metacognitive ability.Therefore,this study can cultivate the metacognitive ability of primary school students based on the mind map,and make good progress in practice through the design and development of the metacognitive ability improvement course for primary school students,which provides reference for the further study of metacognitive ability.
