Concept Map In High School Teaching Of Geography In Applied Research

While the implementation of new curricula provides a broad stage for"instructional innovation", it makes the traditional geographical teachingface challenge. Instructional innovation, the basic point of which lies in howto teach students to learn, asks for the renewal from teaching aims andconcepts to teaching content, methods and evaluation. Concept map, a kindof cognitive tool signifying, checking, mending, perfecting knowledge, linesall kinds of concepts and their relations in stratified structure similar to theknowledge storage in the brain, and clearly reveals the essence of meaningconstruction. This kind of tool has become the highlight of research forforeign scholars because of its special powerful instructional function.However, domestic scholars are lacking in this aspect, and especiallylacking in the combination of concept map with geography teaching. It canalso be used in geography teaching. Based on the good master ofconcept-map-applied teaching theories and practice domestic and abroad ,to meet the needs of new curricula innovation, this research tries to supplya new effective , practicable way for innovation .Firstly this article arms to find the corresponding theoretical basis andits own theoretical system, after it introduces the connotation,characteristics and function of concept map and the present research state;secondly , combined with the features of geography subject and students insenior high school ,this paper systematically talks about the significance ofconcept map used in geographical teaching, illustrates the classification ofgeographical concept map and their making process;the bodysection ,analyses geographical concept map's self-adapting function inteaching, puts forward and summarizes the concept map's applied strategyin geographical teaching;At last, this passage makes preliminaryexperimental researches on efficient teaching and studying brought aboutby concept map, The research shows that concept map can help students tolearn to study, get a substantial increase in marks, and enhance the qualityof geography teaching;problems and deficiencies remain in this researchwhich need to be further studied and perfected in the future.The main innovations of this thesis: probe deeply into the theoreticalbasis and its own systems from cognition to constructivism, from modernbrain science to multi-intellectual faculties;explores concept map, as a kindof effective strategy for teaching, studying, evaluation in senior highteaching, which have many functions and great significance;methodicallysums up the application strategy of concept map used in geography teaching;especially puts forward propositional strategy and special concept mapstrategy;makes preliminary exploration of geographical concept maps madeby software such as Inspiration7.6.
