在创意计算中培育学生的摆弄能力——兼评2013年上海LEAD创意教育研讨会暨教师工作坊培训活动

Cultivating Students' Tinkerabilities in Creative Computing ——A Review of 2013 Shanghai LEAD Creative Education Seminar & Teachers Workshop

摆弄(tinkering)一词已从早期"修补"的本意拓展为一种重视探究和动手体验的工作风格和学习方式,它与规划相对,是一种自底向上的问题解决方法。已有一组计算性建造工具可用于发展学生的摆弄能力,如Scratch编程工具、Makey Makey电路板和Scratch传感器板等。创意教育工作坊是在创意计算中培育学生摆弄能力的一个案例,通过案例分析可知,应用计算性建造工具、经历创意计算作品创作过程和使用有意图摆弄的教学策略有助于培育学生的摆弄能力。随着计算性建造工具的普及,中小学信息技术课如何超越应用软件学习、如何在创意计算中培养学生的摆弄能力将成为中小学信息技术教育的研究热点,它将推动我们对技术高速发展形势下学生创新意识和实践能力的培养进行思考与探索。

The word ＂tinkering＂ has extended to a style of working and learning which emphasizing exploration and hands-on experience from the original meaning of repairing. It is in opposition to planning, and it supports a bottom-up problem solving approach. There are a set of computational construction kits to develop students＇ tinkerabilities, for example, Scratch programming tool, Makey Makey circuit board, Scratch sensor board, etc.. Creative education workshop is a case of cultivating students＇ tinkerabilities in creative computing. Through case analysis, it shows that making use of computational construction kits, experiencing of creative computing works building and utilizing teaching strategies of tinkering with intention are conducive to cultivating students＇ tinkerabilities. With the popularity of computational construction kits, IT courses in primary and secondary school how to go beyond the application software learning and cultivate students＇ tinkerabilities in creative computing will become a hot topic of information technology education in primary and secondary schools. It will push us to think and explore the training of students＇ sense of innovation and practical ability in the situation of high-speed development of technology.
