Research On Project-based Learning Design Of Information Technology Curriculum In Primary Schools

The "Information Technology Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education(2022Edition)" clearly states that information technology curriculum teaching should focus on innovative teaching methods,create real situations,drive by real problems,and encourage students to "learn by doing" and "learn by using".Project based learning,as a teaching method with the characteristics of "true emotions,real problems,and collaboration",has gradually attracted the attention of experts and frontline teachers.It emphasizes that students discover problems based on real situations,carry out practical operations in groups,and ultimately solve problems and present project results.Students construct knowledge and experience from the activity process to form stable core competencies.Based on literature review,this article focuses on the combination of theory and practice,and mainly exploring the design steps and project learning plans for project-based learning in primary school information technology courses.This study adopts the methods of literature research,questionnaire survey,interview,and classroom observation,and mainly conducts the following three aspects of research:The first is to classify project based learning patterns from different dimensions.Secondly,based on the characteristics of the curriculum and student characteristics,propose the design steps for primary school information technology curriculum projects,and design different types of project-based learning plans.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed project design steps was verified through teaching practice using micro project-based learning design as an example.The author conducted a pre and post test on students in the form of a questionnaire before and after the implementation of project based learning.During the activity,he observed students’ performance and conducted teaching records.After the activity,he conducted interviews with students.He analyzed the implementation effect of project based learning design from four aspects: questionnaire data comparison,student interview results,classroom observation,and student project work to verify the effectiveness of project design steps.The research conclusions are as follows:Firstly,project based learning is defined as different types from different dimensions,it is divided into micro projects and unit projects based on class hours and internal capacity.From the perspective of information science,it is defined as experimental project based learning.Experimental projects can be further divided into practical experimental projects,exploratory experimental projects,and experiential experimental projects.From the perspective of discipline integration,it is defined as interdisciplinary project based learning,and divided into principle based projects based on knowledge types Process skill based projects and concept based projects.Secondly,the design steps for project-based learning in primary school information technology courses were proposed,and different types of information technology course project-based learning plans were designed.The project-based learning plan elaborates on theme design,goal analysis,process design,evaluation design,and improvement strategies based on the steps of project-based learning design.Among them,process design is the core part,and the basic steps of process design are four stages: creating a situation to raise questions,communicating and analyzing problems,working together to solve problems,and reporting,communicating,evaluating,and questioning.Finally,the effectiveness of the project design steps is verified through teaching practice using microproject learning design as an example.Through practice,the learning design of the project can effectively improve the learning effect of students,improve their enthusiasm to participate in activities,enhance their information awareness,develop their ability to search information,analyze and solve problems online,and improve their migration and thinking abilities.
