This paper briefly describes the content of "evaluating students' mastery and application of geography methods" in the Geography Curriculum Standard for Compulsory Education (20 1 1 Edition).
Answer: When evaluating students' mastery and application of geographical methods, we should pay attention to the evaluation of students' understanding, mastery and application level of common geographical methods such as geographical observation, regional analysis and synthesis, geographical comparison and geographical experiment. For example, in order to test students' achievement of "understanding the differences of development levels in different regions through examples", teachers can first ask for inquiry activities, so that students can choose several representative regions according to the map and cite examples to illustrate the differences of development levels in different regions. Specifically, let students explore the following questions: ① How to choose representative areas; ② From what aspects, the selected areas are compared; ③ What conclusions are drawn from the comparison. The above inquiry activities can evaluate whether students' application of "geographical comparison method" is reasonable. Therefore, it is necessary to observe whether students can use the map effectively, and whether they can observe the map in an orderly, step-by-step and meticulous manner. It is necessary to judge whether the comparative fields and projects selected by students are reasonable and whether the conclusions drawn are correct. Through the above observation and judgment, students' understanding and application level of geographical observation, comparison and regional comprehensive analysis can be evaluated accordingly.
