Research On School-based Curriculum Design Of Artificial Intelligence In Senior High School For The Cultivation Of Computational Thinking

With the release of the national development plan for a new generation of artificial intelligence and the 2020 revision of the information technology curriculum standard for senior high schools(2017 Edition),popularizing artificial intelligence courses in senior high schools and cultivating students’ subject core literacy has become an urgent research topic.In 2019,several versions of the textbook "preliminary artificial intelligence" for senior high schools were published.In 2021,the Special Committee on information technology education for primary and secondary schools of the Chinese society of Education issued the "artificial intelligence curriculum development standard for primary and secondary schools(Trial)",which provided more detailed guidance for the implementation of artificial intelligence curriculum in senior high schools.At present,there are differences in the basis of students in various schools in senior high school.How to implement the new artificial intelligence curriculum in senior high school requires front-line teachers to carry out practice and exploration.Computational thinking is the core quality that reflects the essence of information technology.In the stage of basic education,cultivating students’ Computational Thinking through information technology courses and exploring the training strategy and evaluation system of computational thinking are one of the important tasks in front-line teaching.Combined with the above analysis,the author selects the research on the school-based curriculum design of high school artificial intelligence for the cultivation of Computational Thinking as the research topic,and uses the research methods of literature research,questionnaire survey and quasi experimental research to study the design of high school artificial intelligence school-based curriculum and its effect in improving students’ computational thinking level.Based on the research status at home and abroad,the author studies and learns the new curriculum standard and the multi version high school artificial intelligence textbooks that have been published at present.Taking a high school h in Hubei Province as an example,the author investigates the students’ information technology discipline foundation and learning interest,and then analyzes the needs of society,schools and students in artificial intelligence courses;On the basis of curriculum demand analysis,this paper defines the dimension,framework and level description of computational thinking,and puts forward the goal design of artificial intelligence school-based curriculum for the cultivation of computational thinking;Around the curriculum objectives,the learning contents,curriculum resources and curriculum evaluation of four learning projects are designed;This paper puts forward the corresponding curriculum organization model,which mainly includes three dimensions:curriculum content organization,curriculum implementation and curriculum evaluation.The course content is organized according to three levels:basic knowledge and skills of the discipline,problem solving and discipline practice activities,discipline concept and core literacy of Computational Thinking;The curriculum implementation adopts the project-based learning method,including project planning,project preparation,project implementation and project evaluation;The course evaluation focuses on the evaluation of computational thinking,which is completed by means of test questions,evaluation scale,student work analysis and so on.Carry out quasi experimental research in school h,and select two classes as the research object,one as the experimental class and the other as the control class.The experimental class implements the artificial intelligence school-based curriculum designed by the author,and the control class uses the school’s conventional textbook "preliminary artificial intelligence" for teaching and comparative experiment.After a semester of curriculum implementation,the experimental results are analyzed,and it is found that the computational thinking level of the experimental class has been significantly improved compared with the control class.Therefore,it is proved that the school-based curriculum design and implementation of artificial intelligence proposed by the author can effectively improve the students’ computational thinking level.In theory,this study analyzes the main strategies of cultivating computing thinking in senior high school,and puts forward the school-based curriculum organization mode of high school artificial intelligence for the cultivation of computing thinking in the curriculum design,which provides new ideas for the design of high school artificial intelligence school-based curriculum and the cultivation of high school students’computing thinking.In practice,combined with the curriculum design proposed in this study,this paper provides the implementation case of artificial intelligence school-based curriculum for the cultivation of computational thinking,verifies its implementation effect through teaching experiments,and makes an effective attempt in the cultivation and evaluation of Computational Thinking of senior high school students,which provides a reference for the implementation of artificial intelligence school-based curriculum,the cultivation and evaluation of Computational Thinking of senior high school students.
