The research of situational teaching mode of programming in high school with Scratch

Since the new Curriculum Reform was carried off, there has been a lot of research on teaching mode of programming in high school. On the basis of the exploration of the potentials if designing a teaching mode with the Scratch Graphical Programming Language, this paper builds a situational teaching mode of programming in high school with Scratch. This teaching mode first design a programming learning situation which is familiar by students because of its close connection to the students´ daily life with Scratch for student through the analysis of the common elements between the situation and the concept of programming. The n guide students learning in the situation, and transfer back to the traditional programming environmental after he understand the content of concept. This teaching mode can arouse the students´ interests of learning; promote the students´ learning transfer ability. Ultimately this teaching mode can help students better understand algorithm programming and established their Computational thinking. Both of them play a significant positive role in developing students´ logical thinking ability and their ability in solving practical problem.
