Study on Information Science and Technology Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education from the Perspective of Collaborative Problem Solving
In Information Science and Technology Curriculum,the cultivation of subject core competences and the cultivation of Collaborative Problem Solving(CPS)competence support and permeate each other.Information Science and Technology Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education(2022 edition)are guided by nurturing goals for knowledge selection and content organisation,which are instructive for curriculum construction and teaching implementation.Taking the curriculum standards as the object of study,exploring the presentation and penetration strength of CPS in the curriculum standards will help to better implement the cultivation of CPS competence in the Information Science and Technology Curriculum.According to evaluation framework of PISA2015 CPS,the study constructs the evaluation index system of the curriculum standards from the perspective of CPS,divides the presentation of CPS into six situations,and adopts the content analysis method to quantitatively portray and qualitatively interpret the level,mode and effects of the presentation of CPS in the curriculum standards.Through the analysis,it is found that the curriculum standards are intentionally permeated with CPS,in which CPS is mainly presented explicitly,the overall presentation level is in the middle to upper range,and the presentation effect in"course content","course objectives"and"appendices"is better;the presentation of CPS in the curriculum standards is appropriate,in line with the characteristics of the course content and the cognitive level of learners;although the penetration of CPS in the curriculum standard is effective,it is not complete and there is still room for improvement.Accordingly,in order to ensure that students can effectively develop CPS competence,relevant suggestions are made:to further improve the effectiveness of the presentation of CPS in the curriculum standards;to strengthen the presentation of CPS in the computational thinking part of the senior secondary curriculum standards;to strengthen the process evaluation and to improve the effectiveness of the CPS assessment;to further optimise the cultivation of CPS competence from the resources of the curriculum;for teachers to interpret the curriculum standards from the perspective of CPS;and to keep in touch with the the nature of the Information Science and Technology subject to carry out collaborative problem solving activities.
