Review of Children Programming Education Based on Computational Thinking
Programming education,as an important means of cultivating children's computational thinking,has attracted wide attention.Using the Systematic review method and the three-dimensional framework of computational thinking as a reference to analyze 40 empirical cases at home and abroad from 2010 to 2023,explore what aspects of current programming education focus on cultivating children's computational thinking,what programming tools,teaching methods and evaluation methods are used to identify shortcomings from the current situation to clarify the future direction of children's programming education.The results indicate that the existing children programming education on the content of computational thinking is not comprehensive enough;more attention is paid to the use effect of programming tools,and there is a lack of research on the suitability of tools.The teaching method emphasizes the technical support and lacks the attention to the teacher-student interaction;there are many kinds of evaluation methods,but the evaluation content is not complete,the method needs to be optimized.It is suggested that future research should further deepen the systematic cognition of the content framework of computational thinking,select programming tools that conform to children's cognitive rules,explore teaching methods that stimulate children's learning motivation,and build an evaluation system based on the theoretical framework.
