A Strategy Research On Developing High School Students' Comprehensive Thinking Based On Geographical Images

Because of the uniqueness of geography,it requires us to look at the world from a comprehensive perspective and explain the world in an integrated way,Therefore,comprehensive thinking is one of the basic ways of thinking in geography." Geography Curriculum Standard Of General Senior Middle School(2017 Edition)"clearly points out that comprehensive thinking is an important educational goal of the high school geography curriculum.The improvement of students' comprehensive thinking ability is helpful to conform to the current trend of college entrance examination reform,but also to meet the needs of the current society for comprehensive talents,so at present,geography teaching in senior high school pays more and more attention to cultivating students' comprehensive thinking ability.However,most senior high school geography teachers are still exploring the methods and strategies of comprehensive thinking cultivation.How to effectively cultivate students' comprehensive thinking is a problem that frontline geography teachers need to solve urgently.Geographic images is the "second language" of geography,which is an important teaching tool and teaching content in geography classroom.With the gradual deepening of curriculum reform,geography textbooks present a trend of visualization,and images have become an important part of textbooks.In view of this,the author explores the function and value of geographic images deeply,establishes the effective link between geographical images and comprehensive thinking,analyzes the present situation of cultivating comprehensive thinking by using geographical image based on examination question diagnosis method and interview method,and then puts forward the countermeasures to cultivate comprehensive thinking by using geographical images in teaching.This article mainly includes the following six parts.The first part:Introduction.This paper expounds the research background and significance,analyzes the current research situation at home and abroad by combing the relevant literature of comprehensive thinking and geographical images,and clarifies the research objectives,contents,ideas and methods.The second part:Definition of concepts and theoretical basis.On the one hand,it defines the concepts of geographic images and comprehensive thinking,determines the characteristics,composition and cultivation content of comprehensive thinking,clarifies the connotation and type division of geographic images,and the characteristics of images;on the other hand,it clarifies the theoretical basis of this research,Including geography curriculum and teaching theory,educational measurement and evaluation theory,constructivist learning theory,information processing theory.The third part:Analysis of the relationship between geographic images and comprehensive thinking.First of all,from the high school geography curriculum standard to the comprehensive thinking training requirements and the characteristics of the college entrance examination geography for comprehensive thinking,clear the importance of geographical images to the comprehensive thinking cultivation;secondly,the author from the "geographical images bearing rich geographical elements,reflecting elements association;geographical images can show the process of things,reflect the scale of things;geographical images can express local comprehensive characteristics,local relationship between people and environment" six aspects to establish images and comprehensive thinking of elements,time and space,regions.At last,it describes the value pursuit of cultivating students' comprehensive thinking by using geographic images tools.The fourth part:Analyze current situation and identify problems.Based on the composition of comprehensive thinking,the content of cultivation,and the level of comprehensive thinking,the author selects test questions from the college entrance examination papers that point to the comprehensive thinking examination,compiles test papers,and distributes them to 238 high school students in three key high schools in Hubei and Jiangxi Provinces.From the test score statistics,it is found that the overall thinking of high school students is currently at the lower middle level.According to the graded analysis of the students 'answering levels,it is concluded that the problems of students' comprehensive thinking mainly include:Focusing on understanding of individual elements,and comprehensive analysis of factors not enough;Basic knowledge is not firm,and the relationship between elements is not clear;The analysis ability of process diagrams affects the overall level of comprehensive of space-time;The lack of awareness of scale analysis affects the comprehensiveness of space-time;The lack of analysis and inductive ability affects the understanding of local characteristics;Regional concept,human-environment relationship understanding is weak.At the same time,we interviewed eight frontline geography teachers to understand the current situation of image use and comprehensive thinking cultivation from the perspective of teachers.The fifth part:Put forward the training principles,strategies and points for attention.This part put forward the principles to be followed in the use of geographical images to cultivate high school students' comprehensive thinking;aiming at the specific problems existing in the three dimensions of comprehensive thinking of elements,time and space,regions,put forward the countermeasures of using geographical images to cultivate students' comprehensive thinking,and design relevant cases to explain the strategy;at the same time,put forward the relevant matters to pay attention to in the implementation of the strategy,so as to provide reference for the first-line geography teachers to use geographical images to train students' comprehensive thinking.The sixth part:Conclusions and prospects.This paper discusses the conclusion of this study,insufficient analysis,and puts forward the prospect.
