Interdisciplinary PBL and C++ Teaching in Clubs
Empowering Growth through Master Teacher Studios, Unlocking New Teaching Mindsets
Innovating for the Future
On the evening of September 25, from 19:50 to 20:40, two informative sharing sessions were held in the DingTalk group of Master Wang Xiangrui’s studio. Teachers Wang Weidong and Tao Yuqian shared their thoughts and experiences on the themes of “Weekly Half-Day Planned Courses” and “Club Course Development,” contributing to the enhancement of technology and programming teaching capabilities in primary and secondary schools.
Teacher Wang Weidong’s Sharing
At the beginning of the event, Teacher Wang Weidong introduced the theme of “PBL Project-Based Laser Creation – Smart Distance Measuring Device” for the school-wide curriculum development. This course relies on the “Weekly Half-Day Plan” for compulsory education in Shenzhen, guided by the STEAM education concept, and follows the PBL process to create an interdisciplinary integrated teaching system. The course introduces distance measuring tools from daily life and sparks students’ interest with the question, “How does a car’s reversing radar work?” Students use hardware such as Arduino main control boards and ultrasonic sensors, along with Mind+ software, to complete the entire process of “hardware assembly – code debugging – model processing.” Additionally, through a combination of formative and summative assessments, the course pays comprehensive attention to student growth. Teacher Wang also proposed a future outlook for deep integration with AI, providing reference ideas for project-based teaching.
Teacher Tao Yuqian’s Sharing
Next, Teacher Tao Yuqian introduced the insights and practices she gained from the books “Creative Programming in C++ for Elementary Students” and “Creative Classroom for C++ Project Learning in Primary and Secondary Schools” regarding the development of programming club courses. “Creative Programming in C++ for Elementary Students” features 85 progressively challenging courses that use engaging titles and vivid metaphors to lower the learning difficulty, catering to both self-study and tutoring; while “Creative Classroom for C++ Project Learning in Primary and Secondary Schools” drives teaching with over 50 project cases close to youth cognition, with rich supporting resources suitable for competition entry. Teacher Tao also shared her thoughts and insights from specific course cases in the books, providing practical reference materials and methods for C++ teaching in elementary programming clubs.
This sharing event showcased the explorations and reflections of frontline teachers regarding the challenges encountered in teaching practice: the content not only covered the practical exploration of interdisciplinary project-based teaching under the guidance of higher-level documents but also included theoretical learning and reflection based on practical difficulties. In the future, Master Wang Xiangrui’s studio will serve as a professional learning community, continuously gathering wisdom and strength to provide a platform for teachers to exchange ideas, promote in-depth discussions, and achieve mutual progress, thereby continuously enhancing course development capabilities and creating a better learning experience for students.
