Research On The Application Of Game Teaching In Elementary Programming Class

With the rapid development of information technology,training people’s innovative logical thinking ability has become a new theme in the new era.Under the influence of this educational concept,the reform of basic education points out that teachers can try new teaching methods to help students learn and promote the cultivation and development of students’ comprehensive ability.In addition,since 2011,the Horizon Report of the United States New Media Consortium,which has attracted much attention,has mentioned the words "game" and "gamification" for many times,providing important choices for future teaching.In programming teaching in primary schools,teachers pass knowledge to students in the form of one-way preaching,which easily leads to problems such as students’ low interest and scattered knowledge content.Based on these,the author will try to introduce game teaching to solve the current programming teaching problems.First of all,the author sorts out and analyzes the research status of game teaching at home and abroad,by reading a large number of literature,and defines the core concepts of game teaching and primary school programming,and explores the theoretical basis for the application of game teaching in programming,such as game learning theory and flow theory,etc.Secondly,in view of the problems existing in programming teaching in primary schools and the status quo of game teaching application,the design of game teaching process is carried out around the content and objectives of programming teaching and characteristics of learners.Then,the author’s practice school was selected to carry out three rounds of teaching practice.Students’ learning effects and teachers’ teaching effects were analyzed by means of classroom observation and student interviews,so as to verify the game teaching process and constantly revise and improve the game teaching application strategy.Finally,through the questionnaire survey,the student learning evaluation form and the work evaluation scale analysis,the author summarizes and affirms the game teaching effect of the whole stage.Through three rounds of action research,the process of implementing game teaching in primary school programming is verified,which mainly includes the links of situation introduction,task breakthrough,group formation,cooperation and competition,summary and evaluation.And it summarizes the game teaching application strategy and attention problems,for the future development of game teaching to provide reference.At the same time,it points out the shortcomings of this research process and the direction and prospect of game teaching research in the future.
