摘要

Abstract

Primary school STEM curriculum case is an important carrier to present curriculum objectives

learning experience

activity organization and evaluation feedback.Focusing on the identification needs of design characteristics and development orientation of STEM curriculum cases in Chinese primary schools

this paper constructs a four-dimensional analysis framework of goal determination

experience selection

experience organization and result evaluation based on Taylor's principle.The case text is transformed into computable features

and the feature coding

matrix construction

weight identification

type clustering and coupling evaluation models are formed.Taking 120 course cases as samples

the fields of course topic

learning segment

task situation

activity process

student achievement and evaluation method were extracted.The results showed that the scores of learning experience selection dimension were high

which were 0.76

0.82 and 0.86 for lower

middle and upper grades

respectively.Results The scores of evaluation dimensions were low

which were 0.55

0.61 and 0.66

respectively.The clustering results show that the cases can be divided into four types: goal integration type

experience exploration type

organization advancement type and evaluation improvement type.In the validation of model applicability

the consensus rate of expert judgment reaches 88.6%

and the accuracy rate of model recognition reaches 89.2%.The model can present case design differences and development directions

and provide reference for primary school STEM curriculum optimization and evaluation improvement.
