The Science Curriculum Collaboration Learning Activity Design In Primary School Based On Mind Map

At present,the ability of communication and collaboration has become one of the core qualities recognized by all countries in the 21 st century.Therefore,cultivating the ability of student has naturally become one of the main educational goals for many countries.For the same consideration,China,as well,has infiltrated this goal into different education levels.Science is an important course in primary school.The Primary School Science Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education of 2017 version advocates to promote students' active exploration by focusing on inquiry-based learning,and emphasizes to gradually cultivate students' ability to raise,analyze and solve problems,as well as the ability to communicate and cooperate through cooperation and exploration.It can be seen that cultivating students' communication and collaboration ability through cooperative learning is also one of the important goals of primary school in science curriculum.Although cooperative and inquiry-based learning has been widely used in primary school for science curriculum teaching,there is a situation that "there is a form of collaboration and inquiry,but there is no effect of collaboration and inquiry".In primary school,science teaching practice has some questions,for example,the low participation of students and insufficient learning depth.The curriculum standard of primary school science emphasizes the importance of "learning by doing and thinking by learning".Obviously,this situation only involves learning by doing,not thinking by learning.Mind map is a powerful graphic thinking tool,which has been proved by scholars to play an important role in promoting students' cooperation and communication,improving their thinking ability and stimulating their study interest.In other words,mind mapping can not only improve students' interest and participation in learning,but also promote students to think deeply in learning.Therefore,this study proposes a framework of cooperative learning activity based on mind map for science curriculum in primary school,so as to improve students' participation and learning depth of primary school in cooperative learning.By providing students mind map based on the problem to guide students to think and discuss problems by doing,to achieve the goal that thinking by learning.In order to study the design of collaborative learning activities based on mind map in primary school science curriculum and its effectiveness,this paper carried out in-depth research from the following three aspects.Firstly,the theories related to collaborative learning and mind mapping are systematically sorted out.On this basis,the advantages of mind mapping in promoting students' participation and learning depth in collaborative learning activities are further analyzed.The main manifestation is that mind map can be used as a sorting tool of individual thinking to promote individual deep thinking.Mind mapping can be used as a medium to facilitate communication among team members.The mind map can be used as a tool for collaborative knowledge construction to promote collaborative knowledge construction.Secondly,guided by the activity theory and based on the existing design framework of cooperative learning activities,the design framework of cooperative learning activities in elementary school for science curriculum based on mind map is proposed.The framework includes three parts: initial analysis,structural design,structural evaluation and improvement.Among them,structural design is the core,including activity task design,activity process design,support resource design and team role definition.This framework has certain guiding significance for teachers to carry out the practice of cooperative learning activities based on mind mapping in primary school foe science course.Thirdly,to analyze the effectiveness of the design framework that collaborative learning based on mind mapping activities in the elementary school for science course,the experimental object of this study is two parallel class student of a primary school that in Wuhan city,adopting quasi-experimental method to explore the effect of that introduced the mind map into collaborative learning activities in the elementary school science for the students' participation and achievement.The experimental results show that the introduction of mind mapping into the cooperative learning of science in primary schools has no obvious influence on students' grades,but it can significantly improve students' participation in the cooperative learning process.
