ABSTRACT: Based on the survey data of 103 middle schools in the western China, this paper empirically studies the role of
computer information activities and their influencing factors in reading
literacy. Research and analysis found that computer information activities are
predicting students’ reading literacy, and the urban-rural school type has an adjustment
effect on the computer information-reading literacy path. Basic computer skills
have a positive predictive effect on reading literacy, and regulate the influence of computer information activities on reading
literacy. Advanced computer skills have a negative predictive effect on reading
literacy. The mechanism of computer information activity on reading literacy is
its use as a cognitive tool to promote the deepening of students’ knowledge construction and cognition. This requires ensuring the coordinated
efforts to advance the urban and rural integration in education and
informatization, creating independent and cooperative information learning
activities to enhance students’ information
literacy, providing information technology
courses based on cognitive science to improve students’ computer skills, clarifying the goal orientation of programming
education, taking into account both computational thinking and humanistic
qualities.
