计算思维教育研究现状及实践路径

Research Status and Practice Channel of Computational Thinking Education

计算思维是运用计算机科学的基础概念进行问题求解、系统设计以及人类行为理解等涵盖计算机科学之广度的一系列思维活动,是每个人为了在现代社会中发挥职能所必须掌握的思维方式。基于此,开展计算思维教育受到了许多国家的关注。对于中小学来说,信息技术课程可以作为学生计算思维培养的良好平台。在信息技术课程中,教师可以在计算机程序设计教学、机器人教学中渗透计算思维教育,可以通过游戏软件、音视频创作、开源硬件项目设计、建模与仿真等来培养学生的计算思维。

Computational thinking is a series of conceptual work covering the breadth of computer science, adopting the basic concepts of computer science for problem solving, systematic design, and human behavior understanding. It is a must for everyone to play function in the modem society. Therefore, many countries have paid attention to carrying out computational thinking education. For primary and secondary schools, information technology courses could be a good platform to cultivate students＇ computational thinking. In such courses, the teacher can integrate computational thinking education in computer programming and robot teaching, and cultivate students＇ computational thinking by game software, creation of audio and video, open source hardware project design, modeling and simulating, etc.
