Because geographical knowledge covers a wide range, it is often difficult for students to distinguish and master a large number of geographical concepts, laws and characteristics. Many students find geography difficult to learn and remember, but they are not interested in geography learning, which leads to poor teaching effect. So how to change this phenomenon? Let me talk about my views on how to improve the quality of geography teaching.
First, improve students' interest in learning geography.
Interest is the emotional basis for students to receive education, a guide to getting started, and a great motive force for students to explore knowledge and promote the development of thinking. Therefore, in geography teaching, we should attach importance to the cultivation of interest, a non-intellectual factor. First, link the knowledge of textbooks with the development of modern society, endow the subject with certain vitality and make it present the value of knowledge, so that students' learning enthusiasm can be mobilized. In class, we can stimulate students' interest in learning by talking about the application of some geographical knowledge in social development and real life. For example, the application of geography in land planning, rational distribution of industrial and agricultural production, government decision-making, coordination of population, resources and environment, transportation and so on. In this way, students will find what they have learned useful, so they are interested in learning. Secondly, students' interest in learning can be improved through intuitive teaching and scientific memory methods. Intuitive teaching can make difficult geographical knowledge easy to master, while scientific memory methods can reduce students' learning difficulty. In this way, students are full of confidence in learning geography well and their interest in learning doubles. Third, some materials can be interspersed in the lecture to enhance students' interest and deepen their understanding of knowledge. The development of students' ability is based on understanding knowledge and mastering skills. To some extent, interest in learning also depends on the mastery and understanding of knowledge. The more you know, the better you have knowledge and the stronger your interest. If you properly quote some materials collected at ordinary times in class, it will promote your understanding of knowledge and increase your interest. In addition to the above three methods, there are many ways to improve students' interest in learning. For example, you can also set doubts to stimulate thinking, so that students can think about issues related to geographical knowledge in and out of class, and so on. Hobby is the best teacher, and interest is the greatest motivation. In teaching, we should actively stimulate students' interest in learning and improve teaching quality.
Second, improve the quality of preparing lessons and ensure the quality of teaching.
In the field of teaching research, teaching design, teaching method research, and daily work of educational papers, there are new debuts.
Serious and solid lesson preparation and writing geography teaching are the basis to ensure the teaching quality. I think we should pay attention to the following points when preparing lessons and writing lesson plans: 1. Dig deeply into the teaching syllabus and teaching materials to determine the teaching purpose. Only in this way can we not deviate from the teaching direction. 2. The arrangement of teaching content should meet the requirements of citizen quality education and the age and psychological characteristics of students. 3. The content and requirements of teaching should be specific, clear and easy to teach. 4. Simplifying and lowering the requirements of some deeper knowledge reduces the burden on students and is conducive to the smooth progress of teaching. 5. Distinguish between primary and secondary teaching materials, and highlight the teaching focus. Teaching plan should highlight key points, solve difficulties and grasp key points to improve teaching quality and efficiency. 6. Design teaching methods and prepare visual teaching AIDS. Teachers should carefully design teaching methods according to the contents of textbooks. Teachers should estimate the possible situations and problems in the classroom and think about how to give full play to the leading role of teachers in classroom teaching, so as to make teaching colorful, tense and orderly. In addition, we should also consider when and how to use visual teaching AIDS, so as to be aware of it. In short, geography lesson preparation is a frequent and arduous task. This requires teachers to seriously, carefully and carefully consider various educational factors, constantly study and explore, work hard, overcome difficulties, and gradually realize the teaching of lesson preparation knowledge, ability and quality, so as to meet higher requirements for lesson preparation and ensure teaching quality.
Third, use comparative method to deepen students' memory and understanding of knowledge.
High school geography knowledge involves a wide range of concepts, and it is difficult to distinguish and master the laws and characteristics, which is the main reason why students find geography difficult to learn. In teaching, I realized that comparative method can solve this difficult problem well, which is beneficial for students to master new knowledge, review and consolidate old knowledge and form a unified knowledge system. Let me talk about several forms of comparative method in teaching: 1. Comparison method: put several independent or different geographical things, phenomena or laws on a chart for comparison, so that students can understand the differences and connections between them. For example, when talking about the three basic functional areas of a city, we can compare and distinguish commercial areas, residential areas and industrial areas. 2. Borrowing method: In teaching, we often encounter some abstract geographical things or phenomena, and it is difficult to achieve results only by simple language and words. At this time, we can borrow geographical things from everyday things, and make abstract geographical things or phenomena concrete, visualized and simplified. For example, the extrusion deformation of books is used to explain the causes of wrinkles. These abstract and difficult knowledge can be told by borrowing, which can arouse students' interest and help them digest knowledge. 3. Analogy: Some teaching contents are similar to different degrees. At this time, students can learn from what they have learned before to help them understand and remember new knowledge and form a systematic knowledge system. For example, regional economic integration can be explained by analogy with world economic globalization. 4. Specific comparison method: In order to let students better understand the characteristics of a geographical thing or phenomenon, geographical knowledge can be compared with other knowledge points one by one. For example, in Area A of China, we can compare the geographical environment and economic structure between Area A and Area B. Group comparison method: in the process of systematic review, in order to help students find the connection between knowledge and realize a new leap in understanding what they have learned, comprehensive comparison can be made, for example, to compare the three major economic zones in China. This helps students to read thick books thin and master various knowledge points. To sum up, if we can properly use the comparison method and choose the comparison objects and methods, we can achieve good teaching results. However, it should be noted that not all geographical knowledge can be compared with each other, and it is necessary to use it flexibly according to teaching needs in order to achieve better teaching results.
In short, to improve the quality of geography teaching is to assign each teaching link to the best state. This is a systematic problem, which needs to be constantly run-in in each teaching link, starting from the nuances. The most important thing is to fully mobilize students' learning enthusiasm, prepare each class carefully and solidly, and actively explore scientific teaching methods to ensure the best results in geography teaching.
