计算思维是核心素养的重要组成部分,了解国际计算思维教学研究的热点和前沿动向,能够为我国相关研究和实践提供参考.该研究运用CiteSpace软件对 2006-2023 年科学网核心数据合集中计算思维教学研究领域的文献进行知识图谱分析,梳理出国际计算思维教学研究的四大主题:内涵和定义的理论探讨、评估测试及验证、教与学的方法策略、编程学习应用.研究发现,在计算思维评价方面,早期研究关注学习者的学业表现,后期侧重评估计算思维教学的有效性;在技术技能方面,早期主要借助学习编程语言发展技能,后期则倾向于通过游戏项目设计提高学习参与程度和思维能力.此外,跨学科融合是国际计算思维教学研究的重要发展趋势.基于此,提出以下几点建议:开展系统化跨学科探索、推进整体性评估研究、加强计算思维的实证性研究.
Computational Thinking is an important component of core literacy,and understanding the hotspots and cutting-edge trends in international computing thinking education research can provide reference for related research and practice in China.Using the information visualization processing software CiteSpace to conduct a knowledge domain analysis of literature in the field of computational thinking education and teaching research in the Web of Science Core Data Collection from 2006 to 2023,four major themes in international computational thinking education research were identified:theoretical exploration of connotation and definition,assessment testing and validation,teaching and learning methodologies,and programming learning application activies.The research has found that early studies focused on learners'academic performance when assessing computational thinking,while later studies emphasised the effectiveness of teaching computational thinking.In terms of technical skills,early studies relied mainly on learning programming languages to develop skills,while later studies tended to use game project design to improve learning engagement and cognitive skills.Furthermore,interdisciplinary integration is an important development trend in international research on the teaching of computational thinking.Therefore,the following suggestions are made:conduct systematic interdisciplinary research,promote holistic assessment research,and strengthen empirical research on computational thinking.
