The Development And Practical Of ScratchJr Programming School-based Curriculum For Low Grades In Primary School Based On Creative Learning Spiral

At present,the development of information technology and artificial intelligence has promoted the society’s demand for talents to change from application to innovation.Creativity is the key to innovation.Cultivating creative and innovative talents has become a new mission of education.At this stage,programming education has become a key direction for implementing innovative talent training strategies.Therefore,the emphasis on programming education in countries around the world is increasing,and children’s programming education has also achieved unprecedented development.However,programming courses specifically designed for lower grades in primary schools are still in a short supply.In the context of the rapid development of programming education in primary and secondary schools,this study puts forward the requirement of "cultivating students’ ability to practice and innovate" in combination with the new curriculum reform and develops the ScratchJr programming school-based curriculum for lower grade students based on the actual needs of the school,hoping to help the students master the basic concepts of programming during the critical period for developing learning habits.In order to make the ScratchJr programming school-based curriculum better promote the development of students’ creativity,this study develops a curriculum based on the concept of creative learning spiral,carries out the curriculum practices and makes a summary about practical effects.The main work is as follows:Firstly,after reading a large amount of literature about ScratchJr programming,the researcher understands the current research status of ScratchJr programming at home and abroad and and then determines the research purpose and significance,research content and research methods of this research.Secondly,the reseacher clarifies the essential concepts of ScratchJr,creative learning spiral and school-based curriculum development.The reseacher determines the development process of school-based curriculum in this study and determines the basic theories which guide school-based curriculum development.Thirdly,the researcher designs and develops the school-based curriculum.After confirming curriculum goals,the researcher selects and organizes curriculum contents to complete curriculum implementation and curriculum evaluation and then designs a reasonable curriculum evaluation method.Fourthly,the researcher carries out two rounds of action research of school-based curriculum.In the implementation of action research,the curriculum is adjusted according to the learning effects of students and the feedback from teachers and students.Then the teaching process is improved and the curriculum practice is analyzed and evaluated.In the end,it summarizes the achievements and shortcomings of school-based curriculum development in this study,and puts forward the research prospects of ScratchJr school-based curriculum for low grades in primary school based on creative learning spiral.The research results show that the ScratchJr programming school-based curriculum based on the creative learning spiral has played an important role in helping students build basic programming knowledge,which can develop students’ creativity.
