ABSTRACT

By Utilizing the flexibility and powerful function of Python language, this paper proposes to use different ideas and perspectives in the classroom and experiment to solve problems and write programs, so as to achieve the goal of "multiple solutions to one problem". This paper gives three examples, including calculating the sum of all integers from 1 to N, finding the Narcissistic number and sorting. Three years' teaching practice shows that the teaching method of "multiple solutions to one problem" in Python programming teaching has the advantages of cultivating divergent thinking, improving problem-solving ability, stimulating innovation potential, enhancing knowledge transfer ability, meeting the requirements of engineering thinking training, improving learning interest, and promoting cooperation and communication, which can cultivate students' computational thinking.
