| The rapid development of The Times makes the traditional learning and thinking mode need to make new changes.Critical thinking,as a necessary way of thinking for citizens in the21 st century,is of great significance to the development of individuals,society and the country.Integrating critical thinking into the teaching of existing courses has become a development trend.This study explores the cultivation of critical thinking among high school students through project-based learning.First of all,the author sorted out the relevant studies of critical thinking at home and abroad,systematically sorted out the test scale and the status quo of teaching of critical thinking,and dug out the critical thinking from the core literacy of information technology curriculum in senior high school.Secondly,the questionnaire method is used to investigate the current situation of the critical thinking of the high school students.The results show that there are some problems in the critical thinking of the current high school students,such as lack of systematic analysis of problems,lack of inquiry spirit of problems,and students’ lack of reasoning ability for different problems.Based on the survey results,a project-based learning process with the purpose of critical thinking cultivation and student subject concept is constructed.Thirdly,taking Class 4,Grade 1 of M School in Zhangzhou City as the research object,the model diagram of three rounds of project-based learning is preliminarily constructed,and on this basis,the action research of three rounds of project-based learning is carried out.Each round of action research through the analysis of students’ works and interview analysis,to understand the problems existing in the teaching practice to constantly improve,design.Finally,a post-test was conducted on students in Class4,Grade 1,with a questionnaire on critical thinking.The effectiveness of the project learning action research on information technology in high school directed at the cultivation of critical thinking was verified through the comparison of the pre-test and post-test.The results show that project-based learning for high school students can effectively improve their critical thinking.Through three rounds of action research on project-based learning,it is found that the designed project-based learning needs to integrate critical thinking tendency and skills,integrate information technology courses,introduce from actual project tasks,and stimulate students’ curiosity.Students’ systematicness,ability analysis,cognitive maturity,reasoning ability,explanatory analysis ability and self-examination ability are effectively improved,and critical thinking is cultivated to some extent.Based on this,relevant suggestions are put forward.Firstly,the elastic action research program should be formulated;secondly,the project difficulty should be stepped up;thirdly,the project theme should be explored and the evaluation should be timely.Finally,the thesis points out the shortcomings of this research,and proposes that critical thinking should be integrated into the basic education stage and transformed into a conscious thinking habit.In order to cultivate students’ critical thinking and improve it,the cutting-edge technology and critical thinking in this field will complement each other through in-depth teaching. |
