改革程序设计课程 探索计算思维能力培养

Exploration on Ability Cultivation of Computational Thinking Based on Programming Course Reform

以计算思维能力培养为切入点的程序设计课程教学改革需要转变教学观念和教学方式,在建构主义指导下帮助学生构建学习情境,鼓励学生明确学习目标,激发学生进行协作学习。我校的程序设计课程教学改革从以下四个方面展开:将计算思维特征渗入教学实践环节中培养学生思维能力,开发经典实验案例提高学生学习兴趣,设计分层实验作业满足各类学生需求,研发教学辅助平台提升实验教学质量。实践表明,该方法能够帮助学生根据个性化需求主动完成学习意义构建,增强学生解决专业问题的能力,培养学生的团队合作能力。

Taking ability cultivation of computational thinking as the breakthrough point, programming course has reformed by changing teaching ideas and methods. Constructivism can help students to construct contexts of study, encourage them to set up learning objectives and stimulate them to work on collaborative learning. The programming course reform is implemented from the following four aspects： enhancing students＇ abilities of thinking by merging computational thinking characteristics into teaching process, attracting students＇ interests by developing classical experimental examples, meeting multi-level students＇ demands by designing layered lab assignments and improving qualities of experimental teaching by developing teaching-aided platform. The results show that, the method can help students finish construction of study meaning based on their individual requests, enhance their abilities of analyzing and solving professional problems and cultivate their abilities of team cooperation.
