Teaching Design And Practice Research Oriented To Cultivate Computational Thinking Ability

In recent years,the country has attached great importance to the development of vocational education and has elevated its status to be as important as general education.It can provide applied talents for the development of my country’s economy and society.With the introduction of relevant policies,the connotation of vocational talent training has also changed,and more attention has been paid to the improvement of students’professional quality.In the information age,everyone should have computational thinking ability,and cultivating the computational thinking ability of secondary vocational students in vocational education will help students improve their professional quality.Computational thinking has attracted the attention of many scholars since it was put forward.In terms of the training phase,foreign scholars are actively exploring the cultivation of students’ computational thinking ability in K-12 courses.Domestic scholars mainly cultivate students’ calculation in university computer courses.In terms of training methods,domestic and foreign scholars believe that the programming course in information technology courses is one of the effective ways to cultivate students’computational thinking ability.Based on this,this research will target students in the secondary vocational education stage,using the "C Language Programming" course as the carrier,drawing on the results of the research on the definition of computational thinking and teaching models and methods at home and abroad to determine the teaching of this research design ideas and apply them to actual teaching to cultivate students’computational thinking ability.The research methods used in this article mainly include literature research method,questionnaire survey method,interview method,statistical analysis method and quasi-experimental research method.The completed work is as follows:First,by consulting the literature,combing the computational thinking and the computational thinking in the "C language programming" course on the basis of the current research status of training,the theoretical basis and related concepts of this research have been determined.Second,analyze and design the "C Language Programming" course from six aspects:teaching objectives,teaching methods,learner characteristics,teaching content,teaching media,and teaching evaluation,and determine the teaching design ideas and flowcharts of this research.Introduce the task link to cultivate students’ abstract thinking ability,that is,remove irrelevant information from the task,and grasp its key parts;in the task analysis link,train students’ ability to decompose thinking,which is to decompose a complex task to make it become a number of small tasks that are relatively easy to solve;in the task-solving link,train students’ visual thinking ability,algorithmic thinking ability,debugging thinking ability,and iterative thinking ability,that is,students draw a flowchart and present it in the form of program code.Input to the computer to run,modify and optimize it;the cultivation of students’ transfer thinking ability is reflected in whether students can solve similar tasks when they are given to students.Third,according to the teaching design ideas and processes,select relevant content for teaching practice,collect students’computational thinking before and after questionnaire data and study task list data,and use SPSS software to analyze the obtained data and draw conclusions.The research results of this paper show that:In terms of computational thinking ability,the computational thinking ability of experimental class students has been significantly improved,and is generally better than the control class;in terms of classroom performance,experimental class students the homework grades of theoretical courses and practical courses have been improved.It can be seen that the instructional design integrated with the cultivation of computational thinking can help cultivate students’computational thinking ability and the learning of students’curriculum content,and can improve students’ homework performance.
