Designing And Practising Of Children STEM Teaching Model Based On Smart Toys

STEM education has the values of problem-based,integrated,situational,initiative and learning by doing,are gradually favored by preschool educators.However,the practice of children STEM education is still less,and the reference of children STEM education teaching mode needs to be enriched.In addition,"The 13 th five year plan of education informatization" clearly points out that we should actively explore the application of information technology in the teaching mode of interdisciplinary learning(STEAM Education),strive to improve students’ information literacy and develop the habit of digital learning.This shows that the use of information technology will become the inevitable trend of STEM education.Based on the above point of view,this paper proposes to integrate smart toys and children STEM education,using literature research,quasi experimental research,situational testing,observation,interview and other research methods,in order to build a universal STEM teaching mode based on smart toys.First,it combs the domestic and foreign literature on children STEM education,children STEM teaching mode and smart toys,which provides a theoretical basis for this paper.Secondly,it analyzes of each link of children STEM education teaching objectives,analyzes the supporting role of smart toys according to the characteristics of each link of children STEM activites.Thirdly,taking improving children’s approach to learning as the teaching objectives,this paper designs and constructs the children STEM teaching mode based on smart toys.Finally,applied to practice,through the difference analysis of pre-test and post test of children’s approach to learning,children’s classroom observation records and teachers’ interview results to application effect of the teaching mode.It can be shown that the children STEM teaching mode based on smart toys has a certain feasibility,and has a certain positive role in improving children’s approach to learning.
