Research On Project Teaching Activity Design And Practice Based On Interdisciplinary Theme

With the improvement of society’s digitalization and intelligence,it is very importa nt for students’ development to be able to use Computational thinking to think about and solve problems.The curriculum standard of compulsory education information technolo gy also proposes that "initially having the ability to solve problems and developing Com putational thinking" is one of the overall goals of the curriculum.As an integral part of t he specific teaching content of information technology courses,interdisciplinary themes essentially guide students to use information technology course content for independent exploration in the process of problem-solving.By integrating and handling the connectio n with other courses,interdisciplinary thematic knowledge can be effectively utilized to achieve problem-solving,effectively integrating the concepts of "learning technology" a nd "using technology".Project based teaching not only focuses on exploring the principl es of knowledge,but also emphasizes the design,production,and improvement of work s.Therefore,this study focuses on how to design and implement project-based teaching based on interdisciplinary themes,and verifies the effectiveness of project-based teachin g activities in primary school information technology based on interdisciplinary themes t hrough teaching implementation.First of all,this research focuses on the information technology curriculum standar ds in the compulsory Educational stage,and puts forward the core research question of "how to promote the development of primary school students’ Computational thinking thr ough interdisciplinary theme based project-based teaching activities".Through literature research,this paper combs the research status of interdisciplinary themes,project-based teaching and information technology curriculum in primary schools at home and abroad,and analyzes the applicability of the design of information technology project-based tea ching activities in primary schools based on interdisciplinary themes to cultivate student s’ Computational thinking on the theoretical basis of constructivism,Transfer of learning theory and Dewey’s "learning by doing" theory.Through questionnaires and interviews,this paper analyzes and summarizes the problems existing in the current teaching of info rmation technology courses in primary schools.Guided by the concept of interdisciplina ry theme education,the connotation of Computational thinking,and the elements of proj ect-based teaching,it designs the process of project-based teaching activities of informat ion technology courses in primary schools based on interdisciplinary themes.Among the m,there are six stages: "selecting projects-formulating plans-conducting research on a ctivities-completing works-exchanging results-evaluating activities".Secondly,based on the proposed interdisciplinary themed project-based teaching ac tivity process,three rounds of teaching practice will be conducted in Class X,Grade 6 of Y Primary School.After each round of teaching practice,analyze the effect of teaching practice through classroom observation,work evaluation and student interviews,adjust t he design of the next round of teaching activities according to feedback information,and develop students’ Computational thinking in a step-by-step and spiral way through three rounds of teaching practice.At the same time,before and after the practice,data collecti on and analysis were carried out by issuing Computational thinking questionnaires,so as to conduct an overall analysis of the changes in learners’ Computational thinking and te aching effects,to determine the effectiveness of project-based teaching based on interdis ciplinary themes in the information technology curriculum of primary schools.Finally,the analysis results show that project-based teaching activities based on int erdisciplinary themes enable students not only to pay more attention to knowledge princ iples,but also to design,produce and improve works,enhance Cooperative learning abil ity,and solve problems with the help of Computational thinking skills.This shows that t he project-based teaching activities based on interdisciplinary themes proposed in this st udy are effective in cultivating students’ Computational thinking in primary school,and can provide new methods and ideas for teachers to develop students’ Computational thin king in the project-based teaching activities based on interdisciplinary themes.
