Teaching research on the cultivation of computational thinking ability by using information technology

Abstract

Computational thinking ability is a very important, and it is a basic necessary skill for future talents. This paper describes the shortcomings of the current education of cultivating students’ computational thinking ability, analyzes the needs of cultivating students’ innovative ways of computational thinking in the information age, and expounds the necessity of innovative education and teaching. In this paper, the project driven teaching mode and the teaching method of computational thinking cultivation are proposed. The Small Private Online Course (SPOC) teaching method is used in the teaching practice, which is a kind of information technology method. Combined with project driven and SPOC teaching methods, the students' computational thinking ability is further cultivated. In the teaching practice, the information technology and project driven learning are made full use, which are two key factors in the information age, so the students’ computational thinking ability has been greatly improved, and the teaching effect is obvious.
