Research On The Teaching Design Of Primary School Robotics Courses For The Cultivation Of Computational Thinking

Computational thinking is regarded as a necessary skill for students in the 21 st century and has become a research hotspot in the field of education.Many researchers have confirmed that the robot course has an incomparable significant effect on the cultivation of computational thinking.However,through the collection of relevant literature at home and abroad,it is found that there are many researches on the cultivation of computational thinking in robotics courses at the theoretical and strategic levels,and there is a lack of practical exploration at the micro level.How to integrate the cultivation of computational thinking into the specific teaching design of robot course and how to organize effective teaching and learning activities have become urgent problems to be solved.The views of constructivism learning theory,discovery learning theory and learning by doing theory can provide theoretical support for this study.This paper summarizes the current problems in primary school robotics teaching through the investigation of the current situation,and finds that students need to improve the application skills of computational thinking methods and thinking quality ability,and the robot classroom teaching needs to be optimized.Therefore,according to the thinking ability structure and thinking teaching theory,this paper designs a training model of computational thinking ability based on the robot course in primary school,and trains computational thinking from three dimensions including computational thinking method,content and quality characteristics.Then,the teaching oriented to computational thinking is combined with the curriculum content design of primary school robotics,including learner analysis,teaching objective analysis and reconstruction,teaching content integration,teaching strategy design,classroom activity flow design of teachers and students,and multiple evaluation design of teaching.According to the model,the teaching process oriented to the cultivation of computational thinking is constructed,and the "precision" cultivation of the elements of computational thinking method is carried out in the teaching and learning activities.Finally,through action research method,the preliminary construction of the teaching process is applied to practice,a total of three rounds of research,each round of teaching practice to reflect on the improvement and optimize the teaching process.Through multivariate evaluation data feedback,dimensional analysis for computing the effect of the primary school teaching robot design thinking training,including test data comparison before and after the computational thinking,classroom performance evaluation score summary,project work summary way and interview with teachers and students,the score of robot validated in this paper,the elementary school curriculum design to develop computational thinking has a remarkable achievement.On the one hand,it provides new ideas for curriculum research and development,and provides theoretical guidance for the cultivation of computational thinking for primary school students.On the other hand,it provides practical reference for robot curriculum teaching and is also a further effort and beneficial attempt for the development of robot education in primary schools in China.The research results of this paper include: Firstly,based on the structure of computational thinking ability and the elementary school robotics curriculum,a training model of computational thinking ability is constructed.Then,the teaching process of primary school robot course oriented to the cultivation of computational thinking is designed and applied in practice to verify its effectiveness.The practice test shows that it has obvious effect on cultivating students' computational thinking,and students' application skills and thinking quality of computational thinking methods have been significantly improved in the process of problem solving.The classroom implementation effect is good,and the previous teaching problems have been solved to a certain extent.
