It can be seen that it is the mission entrusted to geography education by the times to enhance students' sense of social responsibility, strengthen the concept of sustainable development in which population, resources, environment and society are coordinated, and let environmental awareness penetrate the hearts of the people. Environmental education for students is also a means to stimulate students' patriotic feelings and a good starting point for students' moral education.
In geography education, what aspects should teachers start with in order to implant the concept of environmental protection into students' brains and turn students' consciousness into conscious action?
Teachers need to improve their personal culture and professional quality and have patriotic enthusiasm.
As a geography teacher, we must be patriotic and educate students to love the mountains, rivers, grass and trees of the motherland. The magnificent mountains and rivers and rich resources of the great motherland are easy to stimulate students' patriotic enthusiasm. Teachers should use patriotic passion to arouse students' sentiment of protecting the environment and creating a beautiful home while transforming nature; It is necessary to teach students to cultivate good psychological qualities (healthy emotions, strong will and harmonious interpersonal relationships) and establish a correct outlook on life and the world.
Geography teachers must also consolidate their professional knowledge, keep pace with the times, fully feel and understand the relationship between man and land, and guide students from the perspective of rational knowledge and emotional feelings, so that students can make correct and rational responses to vicious environmental events in their lives.
Establish a friendly relationship between teachers and students and cultivate students' interest in learning geography.
Sincere feelings between teachers and students can effectively mobilize students' enthusiasm, stimulate students' self-confidence and self-motivation, and stimulate students' interest in learning, which is conducive to the implementation of teaching and the improvement of teaching effect. In order to achieve such a teaching level, teachers must earnestly and persistently cultivate students' interest in learning geography. Only with the interest in learning can we induce students' intrinsic motivation to learn, change passive acceptance of knowledge into active learning, and make them realize that geography is interesting, useful and learnable.
Third, let students fully understand the current environmental situation and learn useful geographical knowledge.
At present, the global environmental hot issues concerned by the international community are mainly climate change, ozone layer destruction, acid rain, biodiversity reduction, soil erosion, land desertification, marine pollution and so on. Environmental problems are actually development problems. Because countries are at different stages of development, with different economic structures, industrial policies, natural conditions and cultural backgrounds, the environment has different manifestations, and the focus and countermeasures for solving environmental problems are also different. Let students know about the world and China's environmental problems, so that they can better resonate in geography learning.
Learning geography useful to life is the most basic concept of geography curriculum standard, which requires that teaching should restore life as much as possible, be as close to students' real life as possible, and put teaching activities in the realistic social background, thus stimulating students' strong desire to learn geography, transforming passive learning into active learning and internal needs, and allowing students to learn in life and live better in learning.
According to the content requirements of living geography, I summarized the environmental protection education in geography teaching, including: (1) being able to evaluate the living environment, choosing a place of residence according to one's own needs and personal hobbies, and taking positive attitudes and protective actions towards the environment. (2) Have a correct understanding of the occurrence and defense of various natural and man-made disasters, have a sense of safety, and basically master the measures of self-protection. (3) Using geographical knowledge to understand the news reports of various media and understand the geographical background of major environmental events at home and abroad. (4) in leisure, know what kind of leisure ways to take (such as entertainment, fitness, camping, tourism, etc.). ), and know how to use the environment or choose the route of leisure activities. (5) Understand the relationship between the human characteristics of production and sales places and input and output, as well as the environmental costs in production. Looking at our current educational philosophy, there are still many loopholes and problems in environmental awareness. Because of this, our environmental awareness is weak, and we don't pay enough attention to environmental awareness in education, which makes it difficult to harmonize the relationship between human beings and the natural environment. Therefore, in the process of geography education and teaching, we should attach importance to the importance of environmental education, make use of the advantages of disciplines and strengthen people's concern for environmental protection.
Fourthly, combine the age characteristics and professional characteristics of normal students to carry out educational activities.
Students in normal schools 15 ~ 20 years old. They are full of passion and their emotional content is becoming more and more social. They can use certain moral standards to evaluate the behavior of themselves and others, and their moral behavior is more conscious and profound. They initially formed a moral belief linking moral viewpoint, moral behavior and moral emotion, and their self-awareness gradually developed, and their world outlook gradually formed, resulting in the stereotype of emotional tendency. For such a group, geography teachers should actively guide and internalize the idea of environmental protection and patriotism as part of their world outlook and values.
Students are the main force and builders of the future development of the motherland. They must be soberly aware that in the process of economic development and social progress in the world today, due to natural and man-made reasons, environmental problems are becoming increasingly serious, which directly threatens the survival of mankind. Environmental protection has become a hot issue in the world today, and the strength of environmental awareness is an important symbol of a country's national quality. Therefore, it is necessary to educate modern young students on environmental awareness and global concepts, guide students to pay attention to society and life, and establish scientific values of population, environment, resources and sustainable development. Most normal students in our school choose to be teachers after graduation, mainly engaged in preschool education and primary education, and bear the responsibility of cultivating the next generation. When the concept of environmental protection has become a part of teachers' own world outlook and values, teachers can pass on this concept to students by setting an example.
