The computational thinking- oriented inquiry teaching mode for advanced programming language course

Qian Gao

As the core idea in the computer course,’ computational thinking’ is an effective means to provide a unique way of thinking and solve the problems of one’s major. This paper aims to explore and practice teaching mode and learning mode based on computational thinking method and ability for computer course so that the teaching model can be found to provide methodological guidance for the application and the cultivation of the ability on computational thinking in computer course teaching. Based on the analysis of current status and existing problems of computer foundation course, and the current research status of computational thinking, this paper proposed a innovative teaching mode by comprehensively considering the computational thinking concepts and inquiry-based teaching, select “C language programming design” as a teaching case, shows the improvement on the non-computer professional students’ solving problem ability by utilizing the computational thinking teaching mode in computer courses teaching. The questionnaire survey and analysis shows that the proposed teaching mode make students experience every knowledge point in the learning process and realize the self-construction of each link of the knowledge, as well as cultivated a certain ability of computational thinking in solving everything in daily life
