Recently, the well-known children's programming education brand ape programming officially released the first set of "computational thinking lessons" specially developed for teenagers in China. Focusing on the wisdom behind computer knowledge, this course aims to train children to establish abstract, decomposition, induction, algorithm, evaluation and other thinking modes, promote children to realize the thinking transformation from "solving problems" to "solving problems," transfer and apply them to learning and life, and empower children's future development.

"Computational thinking" as the core information literacy, included in the new curriculum standard of the Ministry of Education

In 2022, computational thinking, as a core accomplishment to be cultivated in compulsory education stage, was written into the "New Curriculum Standard." The Information Technology Curriculum Standard for Compulsory Education issued by the Ministry of Education points out that "the core literacy to be cultivated in information technology curriculum mainly includes information consciousness, computational thinking, digital learning and innovation, and information social responsibility."

Among them, the definition of computational thinking refers to: "abstract, decomposition, modeling, algorithm design and other thinking activities involved in the process of problem solving by individuals using the thinking methods in the field of computer science." The development of computational thinking has become an important foundation for improving students 'information literacy and skills and cultivating their ability to analyze and solve problems in the era of artificial intelligence.

Ape programming team devoted itself to creating the first set of "computational thinking class" in China

Programming education is considered to be one of the most effective ways to cultivate computational thinking. Ape Programming, as the leading children's programming education service platform in China, focuses on R & D and creating professional and systematic programming learning content. According to founder Li Yi, ape programming has incorporated "computational thinking" into the programming curriculum at the beginning of teaching and research. However, with the accumulation of experience and data analysis, the team decided that it was necessary to develop it into a systematic special curriculum to achieve the best effect of "children transfer computational thinking ability to various fields."

Over the past 3 years, the ape programming team has successfully released the first set of "Computational Thinking Course" specially designed for youth research and development in China, and innovatively launched the curriculum setting of "Programming" and "Computational Thinking," which is also the only set of computational thinking courses learned together with matching programming courses in the industry. The person in charge of teaching and research pointed out: "The learning and operation of programming can initially establish the child's computational thinking mode, and then strengthen it with the computational thinking class of professional system, so as to achieve the learning effect of"1+1>2." "

According to the introduction of ape programming teaching and research team,"Computational Thinking Course" extracts more than 40 typical cases and more than 100 knowledge points from the fields of computer composition principle, classical algorithm, data analysis, network and information security, artificial intelligence, information technology development history, etc., and adopts the latest AI interaction mode to provide students with intuitive and interesting thinking learning experience combined with life examples. The latest curriculum system design is to enable children to carry out special learning of computational thinking courses after they have firmly established Python foundation and entered the third stage (C3) learning. The two penetrate and integrate each other to realize the closed learning loop of improving programming ability, strengthening computational thinking and extending field application.

Li Yi, founder of the brand, said that ape programming has been exploring the high integration of information technology and core literacy. The teaching concept is not only to teach programming knowledge as a single goal, but to stand in the perspective of children's growth and future talent cultivation, so that every ape programming student can develop computing thinking, creative ability and scientific and technological vision in addition to mastering a programming language. "Insisting on cultivating teenagers in the new era with both scientific skills and core literacy should be the common goal of children programming and quality education technology enterprises. "

In 2017, the State Council's "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" clearly put forward: "Set artificial intelligence-related courses in primary and secondary schools and gradually promote programming education." Since then, China's children's programming education has been heating up, gradually becoming a fresh air outlet in the education market, and related products and services have been rapidly upgraded iteratively.

The personage inside course of study points out, the first set of youth computing thinking class comes out, help to improve the quality of programming education, promote youth information literacy promotion, is a beneficial exploration in the field of youth programming education, or will lead the new trend of the industry.

According to public information, Ape Programming was founded in 2017, devoting itself to cultivating scientific and technological teenagers who master programming language, computational thinking, creative ability and future vision in the era of artificial intelligence. Its businesses include ape programming courses, ape programming campus, ape programming children's books, etc., and has successfully built a national and multi-format high-quality children's programming education service platform.
