When steam education enters personalized information technology courses

in fact ,STEAM The exploration of education begins with information technology courses , This is because the teaching content of information technology is easy to match STEAM Fit Education , Such as programming class 、 Media production tools are used in primary and secondary schools STEAM The wide application in education is based on information technology courses . Now there are some cutting-edge technologies in the field of information technology , Such as 3D Print 、 Creative programming and so on , Instead STEAM The name of education appears in primary and secondary schools .

As long as conditions permit , You can choose mobile programming 、Scratch Creative programming 、 robot 、3D Print 、 The Internet of things 、 Artificial intelligence 、 The cutting-edge content of information technology such as virtual reality , Bring it into teaching . Current information technology teaching , Basically Office Automation 、 Multimedia or network and other application software , And primary school 、 There is much overlap in the content of middle school , There is no obvious level . The teaching of software operation and shallow application is simple , Schools no longer spend extra costs , Teachers don't bother in class , But it is not attractive enough for students , The promotion of their thinking ability is also relatively limited .“ What to teach ” Forever than “ How to teach ” It is more important , Only the introduction “ springhead ”, Build teaching content with the characteristics of the times , To stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning , Only in this way can the information technology curriculum bloom its continuous vitality .

Create a lively classroom with a life-style situation . The situation is STEAM Education is an important and meaningful part , Learning is influenced by specific situations , The situation is different , Learning is also different , Only when learning is embedded in the context of using that knowledge , Meaningful learning can happen .STEAM Education is not about teaching students to be isolated 、 Abstract subject knowledge , And emphasize the restoration of knowledge to a rich life , Combine fun in life 、 Challenging questions , Finish teaching through students' problem solving .

Some concepts of information technology 、 The theory is more abstract , Teaching can be related to students' real life , Find out from it 、 Mining learning context resources , To help students understand . for example , In programming “ Insertion sort ” The algorithm idea of is more abstract , If teaching can help students recall or demonstrate the methods of card insertion when playing cards in life , Start with the second card , Compare the newly touched cards with the cards in your hand that have been arranged in order one by one , Determine where to insert , Repeat this process until all the cards have touched the position , Then the algorithm is easy to understand .

The application of life situation in information technology teaching , It realizes the two-way interaction between students' knowledge and life ： On the one hand, students' life experience can be used to realize the effective construction of new knowledge , On the other hand, it can guide students to apply the information knowledge they have learned to life , It really embodies “ Knowledge comes from life , Apply to life ”. Create a lively classroom of information technology , Not only program operation 、 Man-machine dialogue , And the use of life situation , It not only creates an interactive teaching atmosphere , It endows the classroom with more interest in life , And let students feel that information technology is practical and useful , Understand the value of knowledge , So as to form a better psychology of seeking knowledge .

Improve comprehensive ability through project practice .STEAM Education offers project-based courses , Will Science 、 technology 、 engineering 、 Art, mathematics and other knowledge are contained in practical projects , Connect subject knowledge through projects ：“STEAM The course features —— Let learners complete the projects they are interested in by themselves or complete the problems they need to solve in life .” so to speak , Project has become STEAM A typical feature of Education .

Project-based practice can also appear in the teaching of information technology , For example, design with “ Nantong urban tourism strategy APP” Projects with the theme of , The whole class completes , Across the classroom , Students are responsible for the planning and management of the whole project , The class students were organized into several groups according to their specialties , Division of labor is responsible for scheme design 、 Field research 、 Data collection 、 Production beautification 、 Evaluation, promotion and other tasks . Students through the practice of the project , It not only promotes the integration of knowledge and skills that were originally relatively scattered , Expanded humanistic quality , And fully appreciate the fun of exploration , Exercise improves practical ability 、 Cooperation ability and understanding 、 Comprehensive ability to analyze and solve problems .

as everyone knows , Task driven is a method often used in information technology teaching , But the project is more complex than the task 、 More comprehensive 、 More as a whole . If knowledge is driven by task “ spot ” Teaching , Cover knowledge with project practice “ Face application , Point face combination , Pay equal attention to knowledge , Information technology teaching will become more three-dimensional and plump . Show the innovative spirit with personalized works .“ Take the product as the learning result , yes STEAM Another feature of Education , It is also the starting point for integrating multidisciplinary learning and evaluation .STEAM Education supports students to understand the world in a way of discipline integration , Transform the world in the form of comprehensive innovation , The learning output link is required to include products , Accumulate and cultivate innovative spirit in the product and design process .STEAM In education , Innovation is embodied in students' spatial imagination 、 Put forward new ideas 、 Vivid vision 、 Hand eye coordination and operation ability 、 Ability to make and interpret models 、 Highly developed aesthetics and artistic acumen are multifaceted .

Corresponding to STEAM product , Information technology works are the explicit expression of students' acquired knowledge 、 The concentrated embodiment of the externalization of learning results , We should encourage the originality and personalization of works , Guide students to innovate . for example ： Ask students to make idioms PPT demonstration , Have greater openness , Most students choose an idiom story , However, a few students choose idioms that express the characteristics of the four seasons or contain animal names . Actually , This unconventional topic selection is creativity , Creativity is the foundation of innovation , It is the behavioral potential of innovation , Not only can we not suppress , And it should be protected . There is no standard answer , Students should be encouraged to innovate , Reflect distinctive personality characteristics , Wonderful picture content 、 Vivid animation demonstration 、 Self made theme with unique style 、 Unique layout , Convenient and fast content navigation . Can be innovative . When the work is displayed , Students use PPT Explain idioms , Those with strong personalization PPT Cooperate with the students to make a speech in high spirits , Make the whole class refreshing , Students get a great sense of achievement , This also urges them to present more innovations in their future works .

in summary , Personalized works release the free nature of students , It embodies the unique value of students , It shows the innovative spirit of students . Try to reduce the restrictions on works as much as possible , Let students have more room to play , Students should be allowed to make innovations in their works , Encourage the innovation of technology and methods in the works ： When evaluating works, we should respect students' creativity and ideas , Be tolerant of the shortcomings in innovation , Fully affirm the innovation of students , Only in this way can we give better play to the incentive and guiding role of value . Teaching concept 、 Content 、 Environmental Science 、 Method 、 Evaluation and other aspects are the focus of information technology teaching improvement .STEAM Education has opened a new window for primary and secondary education . His shan zhishi , Can offend jade , To dig deeper STEAM The rich connotation of Education , Improve information technology teaching , Better reflect the value of information technology courses in primary and secondary schools .
