Construction of Scaffolding Instruction Mode for Mblock for Arduino Maker Course Based on Design Thinking

Abstract

The cultivation1of Creative Thinking and scientific engineering practice skills is an important part of the current general technical curriculum for primary and secondary schools. Development of related courses has become an important research direction for workers in the general technology field. With the introduction of Maker Education and the variety of forms in the general technical curriculum for primary and secondary schools, aroused widespread concern among domestic researchers. But in the course of the development, most of the Maker courses are too procedural, not at all achieve the goal of cultivating students' Creative Thinking. Therefore, Design Thinking as a methodology for cultivating students' Creative Thinking skills was introduced into Maker Education. This article is based on the basic idea of design thinking and the Scaffolding Instruction in the teaching process, designing research on the teaching mode of Mblock for Arduino course, and apply the teaching mode based on design thinking to specific teaching examples. Let the teaching model based on design thinking really come true in the curriculum for creative' thinking skills students in primary and secondary schools Maker Courses.
