Cultivate students' ability to acquire and process information independently.
Key words: students' active learning explorer "Changing students' learning style" is an important task in the curriculum reform of basic education in China. The outline says: "Changing the phenomenon of overemphasizing learning, rote learning and mechanical training in curriculum implementation, advocating students' active participation, being willing to explore, and being diligent in practice, and cultivating students' ability to collect and process information, acquire new knowledge, analyze and solve problems, and communicate and cooperate. "In the process of geography education, the key link to realize inquiry learning is to let students rediscover their existing knowledge under the guidance of teachers and cultivate their independent inquiry ability; Learn to "reassemble" existing knowledge and cultivate comprehensive ability; Geography teaching should pay attention to integrating theory with practice, and fully combine various geographical phenomena around us, rather than simply imparting existing book knowledge. At the same time, students should learn how to apply this knowledge to practice, cultivate their practical ability to apply knowledge to solve problems, understand the causes of geographical phenomena around them and their influence on themselves, and emphasize learning geographical knowledge through understanding, rather than imitating, memorizing and practicing repeatedly.
Many educational experts believe that middle school students have an innate need to explore, gain new experiences, gain recognition and appreciation, and take responsibility, and the satisfaction of these needs must have a certain educational environment and appropriate methods. Therefore, it is necessary to realize research-based learning and fundamentally change students' learning methods. One way is to set up new courses, strengthen research and practical teaching objectives, and set up new curriculum forms (such as comprehensive practical activities and research-based learning) to provide students with an open, practical and active learning environment; Another way is to vigorously advocate the concept of inquiry learning in subject classroom teaching, and cultivate students' inquiry learning and innovation ability in geography and other disciplines. 1, cultivate the ability of collecting, analyzing and using information.
Inquiry learning is an open learning process. In learning, it is very important to cultivate students' ability to actively collect, process and use information around research topics. Through research study, help students learn to use various effective means and ways to obtain information, learn to sort out and summarize information, learn to judge and identify the value of information, use information correctly, and cultivate the ability to collect, analyze and use information. 2. Learn to share and cooperate.
The consciousness and ability of cooperation are the basic qualities that modern people should have. The development of inquiry learning will strive to create an educational environment conducive to interpersonal communication and cooperation, so that students can learn to exchange and share research information, creativity and achievements, and cultivate a team spirit that is willing to cooperate. 3. Cultivate scientific attitude and scientific ethics.
In the process of research-based learning, students should earnestly practice and explore, draw conclusions realistically, respect other people's ideas and achievements, develop a rigorous and realistic scientific attitude and enterprising spirit of continuous pursuit, and hone their will to be fearless and brave in overcoming difficulties. 4. Cultivate a sense of responsibility and mission to society.
In the process of research study, through social practice and investigation, students can deeply understand the significance and value of science to nature, society and human beings, learn to care about the progress of the country and society, learn to care about the harmonious development of human beings and the environment, and form a positive attitude towards life.
Let's talk about my teaching practice with a classroom example.
A special exploratory geography classroom activity class is going on;
Pei Zhong said, "Let me introduce a visit to a farm in Australia." "These are photos taken on a ranch in Australia."
Gao Yun: "This is the agricultural information I found on the Internet. I printed it out. "
Wang said: "In order to understand' ecological agriculture', I collected and sorted out the agricultural production survey in Yanshan District of Guilin City.
Many students also introduced their investigation in the countryside near Guilin. Liu Yuan also charts the collected data.
Around the development of agriculture, everyone is holding a word, with a face of concentration and investment.
It looks like the House of Representatives and the Academy of Sciences. Students spread their ideal wings and describe the blueprint for agricultural development in the new century, which is exciting. Bai Jie, Zhang Yu, Xiao Huimin and other students also improvised a sketch to show the changes that have taken place in rural areas since the reform and opening up. Students learn knowledge in a relaxed and happy way.
The development of agriculture is an important topic in the world today, which can reach the forefront of high technology. If the teaching content is too much and too difficult, it will be daunting and dampen the enthusiasm for learning. The content is too little and too simple, which can't attract interest and can't achieve the purpose of increasing knowledge and cultivating ability. Moreover, it involves agricultural issues, which are unfamiliar to urban students and need examples to understand. Therefore, I arranged a class activity class when studying the content of the chapter "Agriculture" in the fourth volume of junior high school geography.
Let students become explorers of active learning. Nowadays, scientific knowledge is rising exponentially, and there is a sharp contradiction between the rapid and infinite expansion of knowledge and the short and limited life. Therefore, mastering methods is more important than mastering knowledge. Only when students learn to learn and master the key to open the treasure house of knowledge can they constantly master and update their knowledge and innovate.
Human beings are facing many problems of common development, and people are more "sharing weal and woe". Communication and cooperation have become the necessity of the development of the times. It is an important task for teachers to cultivate students' cooperative consciousness and spirit in geography teaching. Everyone is both division of labor and cooperation, * * * to complete the learning task. In advance, I divide the learning content of a class into eight items, and divide the students in each class into eight groups, so that different groups can undertake one of them, that is, a certain topic. Students will read textbooks, observe charts, inquire about materials and investigate and visit with the division of tasks undertaken by this group. I also gave guidance on the methods and targets of the investigation, telling them that they can make full use of material and human resources in the investigation. Material resources include books, newspapers, radio, television, Internet, etc. Human resources include parents, relatives, neighbors, village cadres and agricultural experts. Teachers teach students how to study, instruct them how to read, find reference materials, search information on the Internet, write reading notes and tell them how to conduct field investigations. After returning to China, students take the initiative to discuss agricultural development according to their own advantages and specialties. In this process, they developed the ability to acquire and process information.
What form does this classroom activity class take? If the traditional teaching method is adopted, and the teacher Kan Kan talks about "full house irrigation", then the students are in a passive position and have little effect; Giving lessons to students, giving full play to students' main role and taking students as the starting point and destination of teaching, all teaching activities can make each student's personality develop deeply, fully and freely. So I decided to do it in the form of classroom teaching: everyone exchanged the information they collected, and each investigation group selected a representative to speak at the center, and other students in the group supplemented it. Students in other groups ask questions and answer them. If you can't answer, please ask other students for help. After class, each group also posted good papers, both theoretical and practical, for the reference of the whole class. In this way, students' information exchange and expression ability has also been improved.
In this activity, the students were enthusiastic, carefully investigated and spoke actively in the discussion. Students can combine their textbook knowledge with real life, broaden their horizons and improve the spirit of cooperation and innovation. Through this teaching practice, I have the following experiences:
First, when implementing quality education, we should pay attention to the organic combination of students' intelligence factors and non-intelligence factors, the organic combination inside and outside the classroom, and the organic combination of school, family and society.
The second is to change the traditional teacher-student relationship and highlight students' dominant position. In teaching, students actively participate in inquiry, participate in a series of scientific exploration activities through personal practice, and find scientific conclusions. In a relaxed learning atmosphere, students have changed from hard study to happy study, learned practical and useful knowledge and improved their ability to analyze and solve problems. Teachers place themselves among students, and position themselves as collaborators and guides in the process of students exploring knowledge. Students are no longer "containers" for holding knowledge, but become the main body of learning.
Third, teaching should be full of interest, enlighten wisdom and arouse thinking, so that students can try, experience and explore step by step and become active learners.
Let them train to become qualified talents in the new century.
