培养计算思维，发展STEM教育——2016美国《K-12计算机科学框架》解读及启示

Cultivating Computational Thinking and Developing STEM Education —An Analysis of 2016 American《K-12 Computer Science Framework 》

Computational thinking is the basic quality that every person should have in the information age. It is the core idea of computer science. Then， STEM is one of the important ways for computational thinking cultivating and computer science educating. This paper explores the importance of computing thinking in the primary and secondary education through the analysis of K-12 Computer Science Framework as well as its core concepts， core practices and implementation process. Simultaneously， it is found that STEM education need less time and fewer teachers， could reduce students’ learning load and strengthen the grasp of knowledge and skills. On this basis， this paper puts forward several enlightenment for the computer science education in our country so as to alleviate the contradiction between the popularization of computer science application and the marginalization of computer science education， so that the students can get effective approaches to learning and truly become the creator in the future.
