The Application Of Concept Cartoons In Primary Science Teaching

From the fall of 2017,initial grade of elementary science curriculum is adjusted to first grade.In face of younger students,how to make students master scientific concept effectively becomes a difficult problem for science teachers.Constructivism believes that students have pre-concepts before learning.Pre-concepts include scientific concepts and misconceptions.Eliminating misconceptions,and establishing scientific concepts,are keys of effective teaching.Concept cartoons highlights subjective status of students which are required in new curriculum standards,guiding students to think,helping students to eliminate misconceptions and establish scientific concepts.This paper mainly studied application of concept cartoons in primary science teaching,and carried out data analysis on effect of concept cartoons in science teaching.This paper mainly to study following four parts: The first part sorted out and analyzed domestic and foreign literatures of concept cartoons,summarized definition,characteristic and research status about concept cartoons,and provided a theoretical basis for application of concept cartoons in science teaching.The second part based on textbook of grade six,through interviews,concept maps and assignments,misconceptions of primary school students was collected.According to principles of making concept cartoons and list of misconceptions,concept cartoons was made.The third part according to three elements of science teaching: exploration,constructivism and formative evaluation,constructed teaching steps of concept cartoons.According to concept cartoons,matters need attention and teaching steps,teaching design was finished for textbook of grade six.Finally,randomly selected part of students conducted concept cartoons teaching,others conducted ordinary teaching,and teaching effect of concept cartoons was analyzed to verify scientific and effectiveness of concept cartoons in primary science teaching.The fourth part mainly carried on summary,reflection and prospect to research.This paper verified good effect of concept cartoons through four steps of establishing theoretical basis,teaching design of concept cartoons,teaching practice of concept cartoons and analysis of teaching effect,and illustrated that application of concept cartoons in primary science teaching has broad prospects.
