Abstract

The cultivation of innovative talents is the strategic goal of education in China. The creative consciousness, creative spirit, creative thinking, and creative ability necessary for innovative talents are built based on independent learning by cultivating students' extensive thinking and collaborative inquiry in primary education. Information technology in senior high school is the best entry point for cultivating students' independent learning ability because of its attractive, project-based, and practical. Therefore, in the context of the information technology discipline, it is feasible and necessary to build a new teaching model consistent with independent learning to promote the development of their independent learning ability, taking into full consideration the types, characteristics, and needs of learners. This study explored the impact of an independent teaching model based on information technology discipline in senior high school on students' independent learning ability with the help of empirical research and conducted an empirical study on seven dimensions: learning motivation, learning time, learning methods, learning results, learning environment, learning process, and learning content. The semester-long teaching practice showed that the independent learning skills training based on the information technology discipline background in senior high school had stimulated students' learning motivation, promoted them to master effective independent learning methods, and improved teaching quality. Finally, based on the teaching practice and effectiveness, the cases and activities of applying this strategy to organize effective teaching were summarized, providing a reference for similar teaching practices.
