Action Research On Robotic Engineering Practice Activities To Promote The Development Of High School Students' Engineering Thinking

With the development of big data,Internet of Things,cloud computing,and deep learning,people are gradually ushering in the era of artificial intelligence.Driven by the development of this era,future STEM(science,technology,engineering,mathematics)talents in all walks of life There is a shortage,and it is not enough to export talents through higher education.The cultivation of potential professionals must be enlightened from the stage of basic education.Therefore,in recent years,various countries have begun to pay attention to innovative education exploration for students at the basic stage,and teaching methods are also undergoing new changes;it is no longer limited to the teaching of a single subject,but more emphasis is placed on guiding students to solve practical problems through multi-disciplinary integration The ability to train students to adapt to the higher-order thinking of social development in the 21st century.As one of the core qualities of high school general technical disciplines,engineering thinking is one of the most concerned at present,and it is also a key quality for engaging in engineering projects in the future.The 2017 edition of "General High School General Technology Curriculum Standards"clearly includes "robot design and production" in the optional compulsory module "Technology and Engineering Series",which aims to enable students to form a preliminary system and engineering thinking through basic technical learning.At the same time,because of its own characteristics,robot education has gradually become a hot spot in the education world.At present,the robot education in China’s high school students is actually carried out in the form of robot competitions or community interest classes,but it still faces many problems in the specific implementation process.In the end,how to coordinate the robot teaching and competition activities,so that effective training of high school students engineering thinking still needs in-depth research and discussion.This research is based on the author as a student who has personally participated in robot engineering practice activities,and found the impact of robot teaching on students’ engineering thinking from the perspective of teachers and students.It uses literature analysis,field surveys and interviews to train high school students.Action research has been carried out on the robot engineering practice activities developed by engineering thinking.First of all,according to the cognitive development of high school students,consult relevant literature and consult experts in this field to jointly establish the theoretical framework of engineering thinking in this study;objectively and comprehensively analyze the main components and characteristics of engineering thinking,based on engineering thinking of this research The evaluation tool development provides a reference basis.This research mainly relies on robot teaching for engineering challenge activities.In addition to engineering decision-making thinking,engineering design thinking,engineering implementation thinking and engineering evaluation thinking,the defined engineering thinking components emphasize engineering optimization thinking and fully integrate the research activity itself and the research content.Fusion.The research is carried out with a complete project theme,and the development of engineering practice activities should follow the systematic,planned,rigorous,practical,etc.of engineering thinking.Secondly,the relationship between engineering thinking and engineering quality is theoretically analyzed,the teaching theory basis for this study is expounded,project-based learning is used as the approach,and the integration of STEM education is used to analyze the practical activities of VEX robot engineering.To cultivate the feasibility of high school students’ development of engineering thinking.VEX teaching activities are not just limited to the simple transfer of robot knowledge.The corresponding real engineering challenge provides a good condition and place for the development of high school students’ engineering thinking.After a certain theoretical analysis and foreshadowing,under the guidance of the design learning Crotona double cycle model and the engineering practice activity process theory,combined with the basic requirements of robot activities for the development of high school students’ engineering thinking,the development of high school students’ engineering thinking development is an activity The goal is to select the"VEX-EDR" educational robot project as an example to carry out the design of the engineering practice activity framework of this research.According to the previous basic investigation,this study was selected to be carried out in a high school in Xi’an,Shaanxi.With the support of schools and tutors,the characteristics of the research object and the actual development of engineering practice activities were continuously adjusted and improved.Combining the characteristics of this study,with reference to the existing engineering thinking evaluation methods and NAEP’s technical and engineering literacy test papers and other thinking evaluation methods,a qualitative and quantitative engineering thinking evaluation plan was formulated.According to the characteristics of VEX machine teaching practice activities,the corresponding evaluation scale,interview question outlines for teachers and students and parents and reflective diary evaluation are designed.A scientific and plural way is adopted to ensure a more objective evaluation of students’ engineering thinking level.Overall,through two rounds of large-scale engineering practice projects,the framework of engineering practice activities for cultivating the development of high school students’ engineering thinking has been continuously improved,making shallow contributions to the exploration of innovative education reform in China,and giving suggestions and corresponding suggestions to promote the development of students’ engineering thinking through robotic teaching reference.
