Abstract

The rapid development and popularization of information technology has profoundly changed people's behaviors and thinking characteristics. Computational thinking has become an important content of information technology education in primary and secondary schools. As a kind of learning mode oriented to subject integration and project orientation, STEM education is practice training. Computational thinking provides a mode of operation. On the basis of combing the development of computational thinking and computational thinking education and related research, this paper clarifies the relationship between computational thinking and STEM education, and focuses on the core concept of computational thinking, drawing on the typical STEM curriculum practice model, from teaching themes and teaching. Five aspects of goal, teaching method, teaching resources and teaching evaluation, designing the STEM curriculum framework for computational thinking, and indepth analysis with specific teaching cases, explaining and explaining in case mode, in order to provide practical reference for the cultivation of students' computational thinking.
