Current Situation And Practice On Infiltrating Environmental Education In Biology Teaching In Junior High School

Frequent environmental events have affected the survival of creatures seriously,especially the productions and lives of human.The international community pays more and more attention to environmental problems and advocates green development.The main place where environmental education is carried out is school.The environmental education in schools is mainly carried out by means of subject infiltration.The 2011 edition of compulsory education biology curriculum standards stipulates that students should enhance their awareness of environmental protection through studying biology.At the same time,the textbook also contains many contents which are related to environmental protection,and sets up special units to emphasize environmental protection.Compared with other subjects,the infiltration of environmental education in biology teaching in junior high school has its irreplaceable advantages.This project takes biology teaching in junior high school as the carrier.After collecting,reading and integrating relevant literature and materials in the early stage.During the education internship,112 students in grade 8 and 5 biology teachers were surveyed and interviewed about the infiltration status of environmental education.After analysis,the following conclusions are drawn:(1)Students have a greater tendency to master environmental knowledge,the occurrence of environmental behavior is more casual,junior high school biology curriculum infiltration of environmental education has a long way to go;(2)In classroom teaching,the form of environmental knowledge is relatively simple;(3)The strength and depth of developing environmental education in biology extracurricular activities need to be improved;(4)Biology teachers can't grasp the proportion of infiltration of environmental education in classroom teaching accurately,the corresponding ability to obtain teaching resources still should be improved.After understanding the current problems of environmental education infiltration in biology teaching in junior high school,the author investigates the strategy from classroom teaching,extracurricular activities and teacher construction:(1)In the classroom teaching,teacher should adopt diversified form to present environment knowledge based on teaching materials,infiltrate in the whole process of teaching creatively,the author put forward the infiltrating method based on the practice school's teaching characteristic: ‘little teachers' before teaching-teachers in teaching-homework",and use mind map of blackboard writing to strengthen the infiltration;(2)Biological community activities for environmental education is a way of extracurricular activities,at the same time teachers can guide students to carry out extracurricular biological exploration experiments,carry out practical extracurricular "green" practice activities according to the teaching progress and local environmental education resources;(3)Biology teachers in junior high school should study the curriculum standard carefully,dig into the textbook,promote the ability to obtain teaching resources,reserve materials,establish the concept of lifelong learning,and participate in the relevant environmental education training actively.There are two typical cases in practical teaching are selected to analyze: one is the classroom teaching case "protecting biological diversity",the other is the extracurricular club activity case "endangered species and their protection".In order to check the effect of the infiltrating practice in environmental education,on the one hand the author observed students' environmental behavior in their daily life.On the other hand there was a test for students with environmental knowledge/awareness and behavior at the end of the semester.The analysis of the survey and observation suggests that the practice of infiltrating environmental education in junior high school biology curriculum pays off to a certain extent.
