Cultivation of Students' Computational Thinking under the New Curriculum

-- App Inventor-based Intelligent Recognition App Design and Development

Abstract

In April 2022, the Compulsory Education Information Technology Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition) were introduced, and the curriculum concept mentions "selecting curriculum content that emphasises both scientific principles and practical applications" and "advocating authentic learning" to focus on cultivating students' integration of theory and practice. It also explicitly focuses on the development of students' computational thinking. An action research approach is used to design a multifunctional intelligent recognition software and to learn and design with learners to gain a better understanding of the App Inventor platform. Through the design of this software, the experience of designing software development based on the App Inventor platform is summarised on the one hand, and how to improve students' computational thinking in the design process on the other.
