以培养计算思维为主线的《计算机导论》课程改革实践

Reform and Practice of Foundations of Computer Science with the Main Purpose of Cultivating Computational Thinking

计算思维能力是计算机类专业学生必须掌握的能力,是进入计算机类专业大门的钥匙。《计算机导论》是高校计算机类专业新生入学后的第一门专业导引性课程,也是培养计算思维能力的前沿阵地。目前的导论课程内容庞杂,并且学时有限,如何有效利用这门课培养同学们的计算思维能力,为后续的专业课学习做好准备,是《计算机导论》课程的重中之重,本文阐述了结合线上线下混合式教学模式和有效的思维训练工具Raptor对导论课程进行改革实践的研究,旨在培养学生分析和解决问题的能力。

The ability of computational thinking is very important for the students of computer major, it’s the key to enter the door of computer science. 《Foundations of Computer Science》 is the first professional guiding course for the freshmen of computer major in Colleges and universities, and also the front position of cultivating the ability of computational thinking. This course is very complex and has limited class hours under the current situation. How to utilize effectively this course to train students’ Computational Thinking Ability and prepare for the follow-up professional courses is the top priority of this course. This paper expounds the research on the reform and practice of the 《Foundations of Computer Science》combining the online and offline blended teaching pattern and the effective thinking training tool Raptor, the purpose is to develop students’ ability to analyze and solve problems.
