以计算思维培养为主线的课程改革与实践——以河南工业大学计算机课程为例

THE REFORM AND PRACTICE WITH A FOCUS ON THE CULTIVATION OF COMPUTATIONAL THINKING:A CASE STUDY OF COMPUTER COURSES

课程教学引入计算思维培养,能够有效改变学生的思维模式,提升学生的实践能力。针对当前计算思维培养在课程内容、教学方法、教学手段和教学评价等环节都没有充分体现的现实,可从以下几个方面解决问题:一是将计算思维培养分解为知识、抽象、思维、方法和实践能力培养等5个分目标,在此基础上建立弹性的课程内容框架,灵活设置课程教学内容;二是积极探索启发式案例教学方法以及多样化的教学手段,合理且有效地促进学生计算思维的培养;三是落实多元考核评价机制,多方位、过程化考核学生计算思维能力。

The introduction of computational thinking in class can change students'thinking mode and improve their practical ability.However,the cultivation of computational thinking is not fully achieved in terms of course content,teaching method,teaching tools and evaluation.Several suggestions are then proposed to solve this problem.Firstly,the goal to cultivate computational thinking can be divided into five sub-goals,i.e.,knowledge,generalization,thinking,method and practical ability.On this basis,a flexible framework of course content can be established to adjust the teaching content accordingly.Secondly,it is necessary to explore the heuristic teaching method in case studies and other diversified teaching methods to actively promote the cultivation of students'computational thinking.Lastly,it is essential to diversify the assessment and evaluation to examine the whole cultivation process of computational thinking in various aspects.
