Research on Teaching Methods of ‘C Language Programming’ Based on TPACK

The “C Language Programming” course is a specialized elective for 33 non-computer undergraduate majors in 9 faculties of our university. It aims to develop students ’ computational thinking. And it aims to make student’s ability to solve practical problems using computer programs. In response to the pain points of “significant differences in student basic knowledge and difficulty in unifying teaching difficulty” in teaching content, teaching evaluation methods, and teacher-student teaching and learning, the teaching method based on TPACK has been adopted. Following the educational philosophy of “output oriented and continuous improvement”, the subject teaching knowledge has been integrated. With the help of modern information technology, based on various integrated teaching modes of online and offline, and of class and extracurricular, a corresponding teaching environment has been constructed, curriculum ideological and political education has been strengthened, and a diversified assessment and evaluation system has been constructed. Based on the above research, multiple disciplinary competition awards have been obtained. Teaching practice has proven that the above teaching methods effectively solve pain points. The transformation has been achieved from traditional classrooms to smart classrooms, from knowledge classrooms to ability classrooms, and from indoctrination classrooms to innovative classrooms. The students ’ learning interest and self-learning abilities have been enhanced. The students’ ability to apply knowledge, solve problems, perform hands-on operations, and cooperate in teams have been developed. The students' patriotism has been cultivated. The correct life values of students has been shaped. The students' innovative thinking and determination to challenge themselves have been stimulated.
