On The Cultivation Of Critical Thinking In History Teaching In Senior High School

"Criticism" does not mean total negation,it is a positive negation.It includes the negation after careful consideration and careful demonstration.It is a kind of negation that does not blindly obey,do not fear authority,have independent thinking and self-confidence spirit.So thinking is an indirect reflection of the human brain to objective things,a cognitive process based on concepts such as representation,including detailed reasoning,comprehensive analysis and other specific activities,which is generated and developed on the basis of practice.The critical thinking that combines "criticism" and thinking means thinking with questioning as the starting point,reflectivity and comprehensiveness as the characteristics,and with the aim of seeking truth.Applying it to history teaching will help to cultivate students' questioning spirit,their intelligence and thinking,and change the "dead water" teaching which used to be the only and not the only one.It is conducive to training new teachers and laying the foundation for the new round of curriculum reform and college entrance examination reform.Therefore,in view of the unique characteristics of the history discipline and taking critical thinking as the main research object and direction,this paper focuses on discussing the problems related to the construction of critical thinking in the history teaching of senior high school: in addition to the introduction,in the first part,firstly,the concept and characteristics of critical thinking are analyzed;secondly,the new requirements and high levels of curriculum reform are discussed.This paper analyses the necessity of cultivating students' critical thinking in history teaching in senior high school from three aspects: the new direction of examination questions and the common needs of students and social development.In order to understand the current situation of critical thinking cultivation in senior high school history teaching,I sent out questionnaires in G middle school during my internship in graduate school,analyzed the results of the survey,and on this basis,from three aspects: teachersshould become critical and reflective teachers,students should become high-quality students,schools should improve evaluation methods.Suggestions for improvement are put forward.The cultivation of critical thinking is a long process.Although the process is slow now,we must persevere in our efforts.It is hoped that through the writing and research of this paper,we can provide some suggestions for the current situation of history education and the cultivation of high school students' critical thinking,so that the cultivation of critical thinking can get a better and more comprehensive development.
