| Artificial intelligence is one of the hotspots in the field of science and technology in the world today,and it is an important trend of social development in the future.Understanding the knowledge and skills related to artificial intelligence has become an important professional requirement.Computational thinking has become a necessary ability in the age of intelligence as a way of thinking to solve problems with the methods of computer science and through decomposition,abstraction,algorithm design,evaluation and generalization.Artificial intelligence provides a real project situation for the cultivation of computational thinking,which greatly reduces the difficulty of the cultivation of computational thinking.Computational thinking can help people better understand and apply artificial intelligence technology,and better understand and solve practical problems.Therefore,it is very necessary and important to design and implement teaching activities oriented to the cultivation of computational thinking in artificial intelligence courses.However,at present,the artificial intelligence education in primary and secondary schools in China is in the preliminary stage,and there are few typical teaching cases of artificial intelligence courses for the cultivation of computational thinking,and there are some problems in the teaching exploration,such as "fuzzy artificial intelligence education and programming education","emphasizing skill training and neglecting literacy training".After reading the relevant literature,the study defines the concepts of computational thinking,artificial intelligence education and artificial intelligence curriculum,and makes a summary and analysis of computational thinking,artificial intelligence education and artificial intelligence education for computational thinking training;Secondly,by analyzing the "Information Technology Curriculum Standards for General High Schools(2017 Edition)" and artificial intelligence related textbooks,the relationship between the content of the textbook and the core literacy of the subject is sorted out,specifically the relationship between the content of the textbook "Preliminary Artificial Intelligence" and computational thinking;Then,in order to solve the problem of paying more attention to skill training than literacy training in artificial intelligence course,on the basis of detailed analysis of teaching objectives and teaching objects,combined with existing research experience,the teaching activity design framework of high school artificial intelligence course for computational thinking training is constructed,and the project of "analyzing automobile automatic navigation system" is designed to carry out specific activities according to the teaching activity framework;Finally,with the help of computational thinking before and after the measurement table,computational thinking test questions,as well as the interview outline to verify the effect of teaching activities.The experimental results show that the design of teaching activities of high school artificial intelligence curriculum for the cultivation of computational thinking is operable and can develop students’ computational thinking.To sum up,the study draws the following conclusions:(1)The in-depth analysis of the objectives and contents of teaching activities is helpful to achieve the training objectives of computational thinking;(2)The organic integration of the training process of computational thinking and the general process of project-based learning is helpful for students to better understand computational thinking;(3)Designing the teaching activities of artificial intelligence course with strong operability is helpful to improve students’ problem-solving,algorithmic thinking and critical thinking;(4)Designing the teaching activities with strong synergy is helpful to improve students’ cooperative ability;(5)Designing teaching activities with strong sense of science and technology and high degree of intelligence is helpful to enhance students’ interest and confidence in learning artificial intelligence.On the whole,the research and design of high school artificial intelligence curriculum teaching activities for computational thinking training can improve students’ computational thinking and problem-solving ability to a certain extent while mastering the specific knowledge of artificial intelligence,which can provide a useful reference for front-line teachers to explore artificial intelligence teaching.I hope to further expand the research object,increase the teaching time and enrich the teaching content in the future research,so as to realize the continuity of the research. |
