A Comparative Study Of The Combination Of Historical And Geographical Features Of The World History Of Chinese And American Middle School History Textbooks

Changes in the geographical environment have affected the historical development of human society,the geographical environment witnesses and participates in the development of human society,the generation,development and extinction of all human civilization activities are closely related to the geographical environment.Therefore,it is necessary to comprehensively and objectively grasp the historical factors that must be considered in the geographical environment.However,in today’s middle school history teaching,there is often a situation of “no history” or “no history”.To improve this situation,middle school history teaching plays a pivotal role.As an important carrier of middle school students’ learning history,history textbooks are of great significance for students to shape basic values and outlook on life.If the writing of history textbooks neglects the combination of history and geography,it is easy to make the content of textbooks become “the castle in the air” and lose support.It will cause great trouble for students’ learning and teachers’ teaching,and the role of textbooks will be greatly weakened.The use of “history and geography” in history teaching helps to improve the effect of history teaching and is conducive to improving students’ thinking ability in all aspects.When China and the United States prepared middle school history textbooks,they all showed the characteristics of “history and geography”.The preparation of American history textbooks emphasizes “history and geography”so that students can better understand history in the context of historical time and geographical space.Compared with the United States,China has also begun to try to embody the“historical and historical combination” in the preparation of textbooks,and realized the importance of using the “historical and historical integration”method in daily history teaching.However,how to form a substantive combination of history and geography in textbooks,how to combine history and geography directly in the textbook knowledge system,how to better apply historical textbooks with historical and geographical characteristics to daily teaching practice.These are still the problems in the current history of textbook writing and historical education reform in China.Comparing the two,the Chinese textbook history textbook uses the map and timeline to cultivate students’ time and space concept.In some chapters,it introduces the geographical environment background and explains the influence of the geographical environment on the historical process.The history textbook of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in the United States has avariety of forms and forms in the compilation of “history and geography”.It puts historical historical facts on the same level as the geographical environment,emphasizes the importance of the interaction between geographical factors and historical history,uses the timeline,uses maps extensively,sets up geographic links,and cultivates the concept of interaction between students and people,with particular emphasis on human and place.The harmony of the relationship and the influence of the climate,the combination of history and place throughout.China’s history textbook“history and geography”has the advantages of full time and space,conforms to the characteristics of students’ psychological development and the effective use of historical maps.It also has the combination of history and geography on the surface,the method is relatively simple,and the map quality is not good enough,lack of attraction,etc.Disadvantages.In view of these shortcomings,learn from the experience of the United States,take its essence,and go to its dross.When writing history textbooks in our country,we should pay attention to the concept of writing.The curriculum standard will further enhance the understanding of the combination of history and place,redraw the beautiful map,and increase the attraction of the map content.Force,use the network resources of the curriculum to strengthen the combination of history and geography,enrich the form of integration of history and place,and implement the concept of combining history and geography.At the same time,history teachers should integrate “history and geography” into teaching activities,paying attention to the comprehensive application and teaching of history and geography knowledge.In the course design,the information of history and geography should be fully explored,and the intensity of curriculum design should be strengthened.To improve the effect of history teaching and achieve historical teaching goals.History teachers themselves should also strengthen the development of geography knowledge literacy,and relevant departments organize relevant training activities to strengthen the cultivation of the history and history of teachers.In this way,we can further deepen the “history and geography” and better promote the reform of our history curriculum to meet the requirements of the history discipline to promote students’ humanities.
