Problems And Countermeasures Of High School Geography "Activity Approach"

A new idea has been put forward in the new curriculum reform, that we should change the traditional and simple tendency to focus on imparting knowledge. An active attitude to learning is advocated. The emphasis of the students' education is how to learn , how to survive, how to establish the correct values and acquire knowledge and skills. In the course of implementation, it is necessary to abandon the passive acceptance of learning and to avoid the rote and mechanical training. A positive attitude with active participation, willing exploration, and hard work is advocated. Also we should enhance the training on students' ability to collect and process information, to acquire new knowledge, to analyze and solve problems and to exchange and cooperate with others.In order to achieve the new requirements of the curriculum reform, the Hunan Version Textbooks integrate a large number of "moving activities", in accordance with New Curriculum requirements, to enable students to participate in activities.
