TRAINING MODEL OF ALGORITHMIC THINKING FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS IN CHINA
Keywords:
Information Technology, Algorithm, Algorithmic Thinking, Middle SchoolAbstract
Algorithmic thinking is an important content in the field of international information technology education. At present, algorithmic thinking is also studied in the field of information technology education in institutes of high education in China. In this paper, we discuss the scientific connotations, the training ways, and methods of the algorithmic thinking. The training cases are used to explain the training process of algorithmic thinking, which provides the training way of algorithmic thinking for middle school.
