A Study On The Application Of Thematic Teaching Method In Cultivating Computational Thinking For Students

With the development of digital information age,digital equipment,multimedia resources and other information are relatively saturated,and the use of information technology and information literacy to solve problems in life has become the norm of our life,so the cultivation of students’ information literacy has become a key element of the contemporary information society,and computational thinking is one of the core existence of information literacy.Computational thinking is a relatively efficient and lifelong learning thinking when people solve digital information problems.To cultivate students’ computational thinking in our country’s information technology course is not only to cultivate students to meet the development needs of the contemporary information society,but also an opportunity and challenge for the new integration of teaching and new technology.It is a key task to effectively improve the computational thinking of senior high school students by using thematic teaching method in information technology courses.According to the requirements of the new curriculum standard,the current training content of computational thinking for students in our country is mainly programming,which combines programming content with students’ life,and students infiltrate thematic learning through observation,group communication and other ways in the theme of life scenarios.This Paper is guided by the learning theory of constructivism and Dewey’s "learning by doing" theory,guided by the content practice of thematic teaching activities in the information technology curriculum standards of ordinary high schools,and combined with the five levels of requirements for the cultivation of high school students’ computational thinking in the new curriculum standards.Begin to implement the design of students interested in the topic theme teaching plan,organize the resources of the theme course,select and design the way to carry out the theme course,and reasonably formulate and give practical solutions to cultivate students’ computational thinking.This article uses the classical education experiment research method,chooses two parallel classes in the Shanwei Peng Pai middle school high school grade in the paper implementation to carry out about the computational thinking raise teaching activity,after one semester teaching practice,according to student’s computational thinking test data analysis,discovered that student’s computational thinking has certain promotion,The key point is that learners’ interest,attitude and practice in computational thinking programming have been improved to varying degrees,among which the key point is that learners have professional and personalized self-awareness of computational thinking,and they have begun to try to use computational thinking and digital equipment to solve and analyze problems in life and learning.Therefore,through research,this paper finds that thematic teaching has an important impact on improving students’ information literacy by carrying out holistic learning of subject knowledge,making students change from simply mastering subject knowledge to integrated learning,from simply cultivating students’ instrumental knowledge acquisition to cultivating students’ computational thinking ability.It is found that the thematic teaching method has an important positive significance for improving the mechanical learning in the current information technology teaching,and it is also one of the main teaching methods for students to achieve computational thinking.Therefore,the research of theme-based teaching method on the cultivation of students’ computational thinking has certain reference significance for the current research on the cultivation of high school students’ computational thinking in China.
