STEM视野下计算思维能力的发展策略研究

Research on the Development Strategy of Computational Thinking Ability Under the View of STEM

计算思维是个体运用计算科学的思想方法进行问题解决时产生的思维活动,对培养学生的创新意识和实践能力有重要作用。随着创客教育、STEM教育等新型课堂教学模式的涌现,计算思维的培养策略也面临着新的挑战。文章首先分析了计算思维向系统思维发展的趋势,并结合计算思维能力对STEM教学过程的支撑作用以及STEM教育中发展计算思维的优势两个方面,阐释了STEM视野下发展计算思维能力的必要性。随后,文章构建出STEM视野下计算思维能力的培养策略,并以案例方式进行验证,最后提出相关建议,以期为STEM视野下计算思维能力的培养提供参考。

Computational thinking is the thinking activity that occurs when individuals utilize the thinking method of computational science to solve problems,which plays an important role in cultivating students’innovative thinking and practical ability.However,with the emergence of new classroom teaching models,such as Maker education and STEM education,the cultivation strategy of computational thinking faces new challenges.This paper analyzed the development tendency from computational thinking to system thinking.Meanwhile,the necessity of developing computational thinking ability under the view of STEM was expounded based on the supporting role of computational thinking ability to STEM teaching process,as well as the two advantageous aspects of developing computational thinking in STEM education.The training strategy of computational thinking ability in STEM field was constructed in this paper and further demonstrated with case method.Finally,relevant suggestions were put forward,expecting to provide reference for the cultivation of computational thinking ability under the STEM view.
