STEAM Curriculum Design and Practical Research: Training Students' Scientific Advanced Thinking Ability

Under the background of “double reduction”, quality education and the development of students' higher-order thinking ability have become important goals of current education. The article uses the design-based research method to summarize the elements of primary school students' scientific higher-order thinking. After preliminary design and action research iterative revisions, a STEAM learning activity framework for cultivating primary school students' scientific higher-order thinking is formed and improved. And use the analysis of quantitative data and process qualitative data through questionnaires to evaluate students' cognition and feeling of scientific higher-order thinking ability. Research shows that the STEAM activity framework helps to cultivate students' critical questioning, independent inquiry, innovation and creation, problem solving and self-regulation abilities, and leads a new path for the development of smart education.
