Abstract:

Now all professions reliant on tool-based skills, including programmers, are being replaced by AI technologies. First, the lecture analyzes programming education and programming contests, and proposes cultivating computational and mathematical thinking through solving problems by programming is the breakthrough point for the reform of computer education in the AI era.

Second, the lecture demonstrates cultivating computational and mathematical thinking:

● The book series “for collegiate programming contests and education”: programming knowledge system and programming strategies, using programming contest problems and their analyses as experimental learning units;
● Curriculums for solving problems by programming: The guiding ideology is programming is a technology. Case teaching is as the teaching mode. And virtual programming contests are informatization technologies;
● “1+M+N” programming training system cross regions: one programming curriculum series for solving problems by programming, collaborating across regions with M universities, enabling N students to benefit from the learning experience. Finally, the innovation and effects are introduced;
