基于“西游记”的Java教学方法改进与研究

Research on the Improvement of Java Teaching Method Based on “Journey to the West”

摘要: Java编程语言的开源性、跨平台性、丰富的生态系统、强大的社区支持、高性能等特性驱使其在所有编程语言当中占有主流地位。其面向对象、封装、继承和多态等特性无形中给学习者设立了一道门槛，加之传统教材墨守成规不能够有效激发学习者的兴趣，导致一种“入门即放弃”的现象出现。为打破传统教学的主题观念，采用以Java续写西游记故事为背景的教学方式，极大地提高了学生的学习兴趣和积极性，经过三期实验组与对照组的对比，从教学评价、期末成绩、竞赛情况等方面的结果分析得出，将西游神话引入Java课堂可以有效地扭转“入门即崩溃”的局面。

Abstract: The open-source nature, cross-platform compatibility, rich ecosystem, strong community support, and high performance of the Java programming language have driven it to a dominant position among all programming languages. However, its object-oriented, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism features have inadvertently set a threshold for learners. Coupled with the traditional textbooks’ adherence to conventional methods that fail to effectively stimulate learners’ interest, a phenomenon of “abandoning at the first attempt” has emerged. To break the traditional teaching concept, a teaching method based on continuing the story of “Journey to the West” with Java was adopted, which greatly enhanced students’ interest and enthusiasm in learning. Through the comparison of three experimental groups and control groups, the results from aspects such as teaching evaluation, final exam scores, and competition performance show that introducing the myth of “Journey to the West” into Java classes can effectively reverse the situation of “crashing at the first attempt”.
