Computational thinking is considered a fundamental skill essential for everyone in the 21st century. Current research almost focuses on cultivating and developing students' computational thinking through curricula, yet there is limited research on constructing curricula under the guidance of computational thinking. From another perspective, we believe that computational thinking can play a guiding role in the content design and implementation of AI curricula in primary and secondary schools. This paper builds upon the project-based learning model for junior high school programming curriculum that points to core literacy, and further extends it to a five-step design method for Thinking Progressively in junior high school AI curriculum large units, and use this model to design the progression of problem chain and task chain for the AI curriculum large unit. We then construct a junior high school AI curriculum large unit from a computational thinking perspective, offering a framework for other educators to reference when designing and teaching AI curriculum units. © 2024, The Education University of Hong Kong.
