北京师范大学“世界地理”活动课教学改革与实践

高等教育教学改革的重点之一是探索以学生为主体的教学改革。作者在“世界地理”教学中,有机地组织了活动课的教学改革与实践,调动学生参与教学的积极性。以学生小组活动的自主性、合作性、探究式等学习方式,设计一系列知识竞赛、课堂讨论、模拟区域经济合作论坛、模拟考题等教学环节,旨在锻炼学生的群体学习意识、分析和解决问题的能力和表达能力等,也在很大程度上协调了“世界地理”教学内容多但学时少的矛盾。

Student-centered learning is of greater importance in nowadays higher education reform. In their teaching practice, the authors designed a series of activity curricula to mobilize the participation of students in World Geography learning. They set up several RAGs (Reading and Analyses Groups) to practise alternative, cooperative and inquiry learning reform. Knowledge Competition, Seminar, Mock Forum on Regional Economic Cooperation, and Self-examination are among the list of these activities. These activity curricula aimed at exercising the intention of team learning, competence of analysis and ability of expression of students. To some extent, activity curriculum also helped us to coordinate of the antinomy of mass teaching contents but limited instruction hours.
