Research On The Implementation Status And Promotion Strategy Of Geographic Disaster Education In Senior High Schools Under The Background Of New Curriculum

A disaster is an event that results in the partial or total loss of function of the human livin g environment due to some kind of abnormal change in the natural or social environment,cau sing casualties and property damage.China is prone to natural disasters and serious hazards,b ut the level of national disaster prevention literacy is low and the ability to defend against disa sters is poor.There is an urgent need to improve people’s capacity in terms of how to prevent disasters,how to respond to them,and how to recover after they occur.Disaster education aim s to develop citizens’ disaster awareness and disaster prevention literacy,and can help people f ight against disasters.In the Geography Curriculum Standard for General High Schools(2017Edition and 2020 Revision),it is clearly proposed about "cultivating the necessary geographic literacy for modern citizens",indicating that the subject of Geography should undertake the important task of educating students about disaster education.Under the background of the new round of high school geography curriculum reform,this paper uses literature research,comparative analysis,questionnaire survey and data analysis,based on disaster theory,geography teaching theory and hierarchy of needs theory,combined with the current research on the content of disaster education in high school geography textbooks.The main conclusions of the paper are as follows:Initially,by comparing and analyzing the similarities and differences between the old and new Geography courses,it is found that the importance of disaster education in Geography courses has been significantly improved,and it is closer to the purpose of disaster education.In terms of curriculum standards,the expression of the overall goal of the curriculum in the new curriculum standard highlights the value of educating people,and guides disaster education to pay more attention to students’ needs for life safety;the adjustment of the curriculum structure allows geography teachers to have more time and space to use various means to implement disaster education;curriculum content has also become more demanding for students to learn disaster-related knowledge.In terms of textbook content,taking the two compulsory textbooks in the new version of the People’s Education Edition as an example,it is found that natural disasters in the Geography 1 are independent chapters and a new section Disaster Prevention and Mitigation has been added,which can lay a solid theoretical foundation for the implementation of disaster education.What’s more,examining the implementation status of geographical disaster education in senior high schools by means of questionnaires.Statistical analysis of the questionnaire data shows that the students have a low level of disaster prevention literacy,especially the lack of disaster prevention knowledge and skills.The reason is that some schools have insufficient awareness of disaster education,lack of systematic disaster education curriculum resources,the disaster prevention literacy and disaster education ability of geography teachers are not high,and the teaching methods of geographic disaster education are relatively simple.Last but not least,according to the current situation of the survey,combined with the new geography curriculum design concept,the following improvement strategies are put forward: increasing the importance of disaster education and enriching the resources of disaster education and teaching;strengthening teachers’ disaster education and training,improving the disaster prevention literacy of geography teachers;expanding geographical disaster education channels,changing disaster education and teaching methods;attaching importance to geographical disaster education inspections,and improving disaster education evaluation mechanisms.And on the basis of the strategy,combined with its own teaching experience and the geographical characteristics of the practice school,the disaster teaching case was designed,in order to further promote the high school geographical disaster education activities and strengthen the training of high school students’ disaster prevention literacy.
