核心素养本位下《地理综合野外实习》课程改革模式探索

伴随素养本位教育的改革潮流,建设以核心素养为本位的课程成为师范专业课程改革的方向。《地理综合野外实习》课程是地理师范专业核心课程,是衔接中学与高校地理研学旅行的主要课程。本文基于ADDIE模型的一般步骤,构建了师范专业核心素养本位课程改革模式,分析得出《地理综合野外实习》课程支撑的核心素养,并根据学情分析结果,设计了以核心素养为本位,系统化教学管理、项目式学习模式、多元教学评价、素养取向教学内容、线上线下教学资源为一体的课程教学模式,以期为素养本位下《地理综合野外实习》课程改革提供借鉴。     

21世纪以来义务教育地理课程标准演变

地理课程标准是地理课程的纲领性文件,作为国家对基础教育地理课程的总体设计与基本规范,在地理课程教学、评价等方面有着重要意义。本文梳理了21世纪以来义务教育阶段地理课程标准的发展演变,对不同版本的地理课程标准(2001、2011、2022年版)内容进行对比分析;并针对新一轮课程改革提出紧握地理学科发展前沿、健全跨学科主题活动课程标准、衡量地理学科核心素养水平的启示,以期为地理课程标准更好地指导中学地理教学实践提供思路。     

服务“一带一路”的世界地理课程思政“金字塔”教学模式

实施课程思政是实现立德树人根本任务的重要途径。随着课程思政改革的深入推进,传统的教学模式在部分教学环节出现了“失效”的现象,亟需一套新的教学模式以适应课程思政改革的要求。世界地理是地理学专业的核心课程,全球百年变局、“一带一路”倡议、课程思政改革等多重背景为世界地理教学提供了新的契机,同时也赋予了新的使命。为此,融合多种国内外先进教学模式,构建了服务“一带一路”的世界地理课程思政“金字塔”教学新模式。提出以服务“一带一路”建设为教学宗旨;奉行教学与科研融合,理论与实践并重的教学理念;以知识、能力和思政的综合达成为教学目标;着力实施理论课程群体化、教学资源多样化、教学内容时代化和教学手段多元化四大建设举措。以期更好地培养具有“世界眼光、家国情怀、专业素养”的卓越拔尖人才,为服务“一带一路”倡议建设提供人才智力保障。     

全球化背景下的《世界地理》教育教学改革探索

《世界地理》是一门从自然和人文相结合的角度认识世界的区域科学,是地理学科的重要组成部分。随着全球化的持续发展、当代地理学科发展呈现新趋势及我国素质教育改革的不断深入,我国高校《世界地理》教育教学面临着严峻的挑战。因此,《世界地理》课程必须从教学思想、教学目标、教学计划、教材体系、教学手段和教学评价等方面进行全方位的改革,才能摆脱目前严重滞后于时代和学科发展的困境,以走上健康发展之路。     

美国AP地理课程框架评介

我国新一轮普通高中课程改革强调要构建以学科大观念为核心的结构化课程内容,促进学科核心素养的落实.在此背景下,本文以围绕大观念进行课程整合的美国AP地理课程为对象,从课程内容、学习目标、课程评价三个方面对AP地理课程框架进行评析,最后提出AP地理课程设计对我国地理课程改革的启示.     

《世界经济地理》教学内容改革的探讨

《高等教育面向２１世纪教学和课程体系改革》是国家教育部为推进高等教育教学改革的进一步深化，全面提高教学质量和办学水平，强化素质教育，为培养适应２１世纪基础教育和科技、经济、社会发展需要的高质量新型人才而制定的。《世界经济地理》作为高师地理专业四大骨干课程之一，理应顺应时代的发展，在教学观念、教学内容、教学方法等方面进行全方位的改革。本文结合自己多年来从事《世界经济地理》教学的一些做法和体会，对《世经》教学内容的改革作初步探讨，以求教于大家。１　《世界经济地理》教学内容改革的核心———“全球观”的…     

新课标下初中地理教师课程理解能力发展现状与提升路径

《义务教育地理课程标准（2022年版）》的颁布意味着义务教育地理课程进入了深化改革阶段，对地理教师队伍的建设提出了更高的要求。课程能力是体现教师教学素养的关键能力。其中，课程理解能力是基础支撑，对课程能力的发展起决定性作用。本文探讨新时代初中地理教师课程理解能力的构成，并探究其能力发展存在的问题，进而提出针对性的能力提升路径，以期为初中地理教师课程理解能力的发展提供指导，助力义务教育地理新课程改革的推进。     

基于核心素养的小初高天气和气候贯通进阶探讨

“小初高贯通进阶”遵循学习规律和学科规律,以地理核心素养发展为主线,以学科知识为基础,结合不同学段的学情实施教学,实现小学—初中—高中地理课程的有效衔接以及依次递进。本文以“天气和气候”主题为例,以地理核心素养为导向,系统梳理小学—初中—高中内容要求以及内在衔接,设计具有层次性的教学过程和系统连贯的评价体系,以期为制定贯通进阶的教学策略、培育学生地理核心素养提供教学参考。     

例谈初中地理核心素养的培养

基于学生认知发展的特点以及初中地理课程性质和理念,论证培养初中地理核心素养的迫切性和可行性,提出培养初中地理核心素养需要遵循学生认知发展的特点、整合生活中的地理课程资源、分解教学目标和学生学习行为表现、创设情境、分级评价培养水平等教学策略。     

基于核心素养培养的初中区域地理情境教学实践——以沪教版“南美巨人——巴西”为例

《普通高中地理课程标准(2017年版)》指出地理课程旨在使学生具备人地协调观、综合思维、区域认知和地理实践力等地理学科核心素养。初中地理课程是高中地理课程的基础,情境教学是培养学科核心素养的重要载体。本文以沪教版初中区域地理"南美巨人——巴西"为例,以巴西国旗寓意为纽带创设情境,贯穿整个教学过程,阐述情境教学在初中区域地理教学中培养学科核心素养的实践。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.
