How to cultivate students' innovative ability in information technology teaching in primary schools

It is clearly pointed out in the "Guidelines for Information Technology Courses in Primary and Secondary Schools" that information technology courses should strive to create conditions and pay attention to cultivating students' innovative spirit and practical ability. At present, there is a serious tendency to emphasize results over processes in information technology classroom teaching, which hinders students' development. Therefore, it is an urgent problem to cultivate students' innovative consciousness, train students' innovative thinking and develop students' innovative ability in classroom teaching.

First, interest is the cornerstone of cultivating and improving students' innovative ability.

Psychological research shows that when people are interested in something, they know it soon; When you are not interested, you understand slowly or are not accepted. If we want to improve students' innovative ability and stimulate their innovative thinking, we must stimulate students' interest in learning. However, a large number of surveys show that students are very interested in information technology courses, but this interest only exists in the "computer" itself. Their purpose is to play games, surf the Internet and so on. But they are bored with the content of the textbook taught by the teacher. So there is a phenomenon that students like information technology classes, but they don't like information technology teachers. Of course, there is only one reason: teachers don't allow them to play games and surf the Internet.

In view of this teaching phenomenon, I think teachers should start with teaching content, teaching methods and language art in classroom teaching, carefully study teaching materials and students, correctly guide students, and make their interest in "computer" develop into their interest in information technology, thus stimulating students' creative thinking and cultivating students' innovative ability.

-"Introduction" with wonderful lessons. A good beginning is the foundation of a successful class. Therefore, at the beginning of each class, the teacher's "guidance" is very important. It is the prelude to a class, which can not only arouse students' interest in learning, but also make students happy and arouse their enthusiasm for learning.

Text editing is one of the important contents of information technology courses in primary and secondary schools. But many students think that text editing is just "typing". As long as you can input words, some students who haven't even learned to insert or delete words simply feel "bored". In order to interest them, I introduced the content of this lesson from the moment when scientists invented a kind of "special paper" as exercise books. This kind of "special paper" has the characteristics of large capacity, easy modification and no pollution, and is widely used in daily life, such as short messages, business communications, computers and so on. Let students experience the profound influence of information technology on human daily life.

-Carefully design teaching tasks. Interest is a great motivation for learning. Practice has also proved that if students have a strong interest in what they have learned, they will change from passive to active, from forced learning to conscious learning, and their mood will become happy, so that their attention will be concentrated and lasting, their observation will be keen, their imagination will be rich, and their creative thinking will be more active, thus maintaining their enthusiasm for learning. As an information technology subject, it has great advantages and students' interest is strong. In order to maintain this interest, we should carefully design teaching tasks and optimize teaching contents and methods. The design of teaching tasks directly affects students' interest in learning. A good task can make students master knowledge imperceptibly and get twice the result with half the effort.

For example, entering words and modifying words are generally things that students don't care about or even are interested in. In order to let them master this part of the content, I designed a small task: let students input a short article entitled "My hobby", and the content can be determined around their own actual situation. In this way, students not only master the basic rules of inputting characters, but also learn the skills of modifying characters while completing tasks with great interest.

-The explanation is small but accurate. Less but better mainly refers to speaking less in quantity according to the teaching content and students' cognitive level, leaving students with a lot of time to study and think; In terms of quality, exclude the knowledge that students have mastered and can understand and master by themselves. It is important to point out the key points of the problem to students in teaching, so as to exercise their thinking ability of independent discussion.

For example, when teaching "block operation", only the operation steps of "block movement" are explained in detail. As for the contents of "block copy" and "block deletion", students can learn and master the operation steps by themselves.

-Using the "Rosenthal Effect". To cultivate students' self-confidence, we should make full use of the effective theory of Rosenthal effect. A person's innovative ability is inseparable from self-confidence, which is a necessary prerequisite for self-realization and success. Appropriate encouragement to students will make them full of hope and self-confidence, and turn their interest from external cause to internal cause, thus consolidating their interest.

For example, at the end of each class, show your work. When their works appear on the projector or network, students will gain a sense of success and self-confidence, which will inspire them to explore new skills and operation methods in their future study.

Second, improve the ability of thinking in images and cultivate students' innovative consciousness.

Computer painting is a new painting art developed on the basis of traditional painting. On the one hand, it inherits the basic characteristics of traditional painting art, such as composition, modeling and color setting. On the other hand, it has incomparable advantages over traditional painting art, such as convenience, novelty and diverse effects. Therefore, computer painting is deeply loved by primary school students. In practice, we find that computer painting is not only helpful to improve students' aesthetic ability, but also of great significance to develop students' creative imagination and cultivate unique creativity.

Drawing is a small program that comes with Windows. Through teaching and research, it is found that teachers can improve students' thinking ability in images and cultivate their innovative consciousness by teaching drawing procedures from the perspective of thinking development. Computer can provide students with a large number of vivid representations in a short time, and externalize these representations through practical operations, laying a solid foundation for students to extract and process representations. For example, teach students to draw figures and lines with brush tools and let them practice various variants of these basic figures and lines. Students use rectangle, circle, polygon and other tools in the software to draw the deformation of different basic graphics, and gradually form the representation of this graphic in their minds, thus accumulating creative materials. Using multimedia technology to teach, this activity itself may not really help students improve their thinking ability in images, but the key lies in the teacher. In the teaching process, how to give full play to the advantages of multimedia teaching and improve students' thinking ability in images in an all-round way has become a problem for teachers to think about. Therefore, in order to improve students' thinking ability in images in the teaching process, teachers must consciously and actively control the classroom, give students appropriate guidance and timely guidance, so that they can really broaden their horizons and improve their practical ability and abstract thinking ability.

For example, explaining the lesson of "copying graphics" can give students a few minutes to operate in advance and think about the role of copying. Through careful thinking, the students provided a variety of answers, such as: using the copy function, you can easily draw four wheels of the same size; You can draw the eyes of two identical small animals; You can draw many beautiful flowers and so on. After synthesizing the students' answers, the teacher and students summed up the purpose of copying: it can save time; You can draw the same figure easily; Errors can be avoided and the accuracy is high.

Using this method, students consciously mobilize the existing images in their minds according to the teacher's questions and explanations, and connect the knowledge they have learned with the new learning content to draw many works full of childlike interest, such as cars, flowers, Woods, circles and so on. Because the students really used their brains to think positively, in the actual operation process, some students even put forward the idea of drawing symmetrical graphics by using the graphics flip technology, which produced a spark of creative thinking.

In the teaching process, teachers should stimulate students' curiosity and thirst for knowledge, and encourage students to think positively and study hard. Because every student has unlimited potential creativity, there is no insurmountable gap between ordinary people and genius. The problem is the lack of the key to open this mysterious palace. I believe that students are "stimulants" to develop creativity. Teachers should give students the initiative in learning, give them more thinking opportunities, more activity space, more performance opportunities, more creative confidence and more successful experiences, and drive them to advance towards countless successes.
