计算思维是当前国际计算机界和教育界较为关注的一个重要的概念,在中小学信息技术课程实施过程中如何有效培养学生的计算思维,是中小学信息技术学科教师十分关注的内容。该文阐述了计算思维的概念与内涵,结合目前中小学信息技术课程的目标,指出计算思维在中小学信息技术课程中的重要作用。根据计算思维包含的算法思维、评估、分解、抽象、概括这五大要素,分别设计了基于计算思维某一方面培养的单个课堂活动,通过具体介绍英国中小学计算课程的一个培养计算思维的课堂实例详细分析如何在信息技术学科教学中落实对学生计算思维的培养,最终总结出在信息技术学科中培养学生计算思维的方法与策略,期望对我国中小学信息技术学科的教学提供一定参考。

Computational thinking is an important concept in the field of international computer and education, how to cultivate the students' computational thinking in the course of the implementation of the information technology curriculum in primary and secondary schools is an important part that teachers should be concerned about. This paper expounds the concept and connotation of computational thinking, combined with the objective of information technology curriculum, points out that the computational thinking plays an important role in the course of information technology in primary and secondary schools. According to the five factors(Algorithmic Thinking, Evaluation, Decomposition, Abstraction, Generalisation) that are included in computational thinking, a single classroom activity based on one part of computational thinking is designed. An example of a computing course in the UK is presented in detail, analyzes how to implement the training of students' computing thinking in the course of information technology. In the end, the paper summarizes the methods and strategies of cultivating students' computing thinking in information technology, and it is expected to provide some reference for the teaching of information technology in primary and secondary schools in China.
