Abstract:

As the urgent demand for adapting to actual combats and military training, the military academies in China need train and develop a large number of military talents with welleducated, innovation capacity and mixedabilities. We present a novel teaching reform technique for computer courses based on “Gagne type” computational thinking. The core objectives of the proposed teaching technique are “two centers”: the training for computational thinking and the studentcentered “Gagne type” teaching method.  Effectively fusing the two key teaching ideas above can  greatly enhance military personnels ability of autonomic learning and innovation exploration, thus meeting the demands of high degree informatization and networking actual combats.

Key words: computational thinking, &ldquo, Gagne type&rdquo, computer courses, teaching method
