Abstract
Computer networks are a professional subject of the Computer Science Department. Traditional teaching methods are not suitable for business school students who think the content is too theoretical to understand. Therefore, this research proposes a three-stage progressive teaching method, which divides the teaching process into three teaching stages according to the depth of knowledge of the teaching content. The teaching process gradually adopts traditional instruction, digital storytelling teaching methods, and visual narrative creation projects to guide students’ learning methods. The objective of this research is to adopt a step-by-step three-stage teaching method to gradually increase students’ interest in learning and make computer network learning more effective. The research results show that this innovative teaching method can cultivate learners’ computational thinking and deepen their understanding of corresponding knowledge. The students stated that the anthropomorphic situational narrative materials in the course increased their understanding and enjoyment, thereby improving their learning motivation and effectiveness.
Highlights
With the popularization of the Internet and digital technology, the learning preferences of contemporary students are different from those of the past
This research introduces how to implement computational thinking in teaching activities to help students develop the computational thinking ability to understand the knowledge of computer networking
This research is aimed at the characteristics of Generation Z students and proposes the use of digital storytelling teaching methods with computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) tools to support the teaching of computer networks, guiding students to conduct computational thinking through visual narrative creation projects
