Research On The Integration Of Jinan High School Geography Study And Ecological Civilization Education From An Embodied Perspective

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China incorporated ecological civilization construction into the overall layout of the "Five in One" strategy,the construction of ecological civilization has received increasing attention.From the perspective of education,it is particularly important to integrate ecological civilization education into geography teaching.The proposal and development of study tours provide an effective way for ecological civilization education and an important way to improve students’ core geographical literacy under the background of new curriculum reform.With the implementation of the "double reduction" policy,the demand for geographical study tours has increased significantly,and its similarity with embodied cognition theory in personal experience makes it important to explore the integration of high school geography study tours and ecological civilization education under embodied cognition guidance,which is significant in enhancing students’ ecological civilization awareness and promoting the concept of harmony between human and nature.From the perspective of embodied cognition,this article combines this article combines Xi Jinping thought on ecological civilization,Taylor’s modern curriculum theory and constructivism theory to conduct a preliminary investigation on the current ecological civilization literacy of high school students in Jinan City and the integration of ecological civilization education and study tours through literature research,questionnaire survey,and interview methods.Secondly,the content related to ecological civilization education in textbooks is sorted out,and the resources available for study tours in Jinan City are compared with the content related to ecological civilization knowledge in the required textbooks of the central library version.Thirdly,fully considering the problems that appeared in the investigation and interviews,three study tour course cases are designed with Jinan’s "water" and "soil" as the mainline,including "Jinan Pearl-Spring Tour","Mountain,Water,Lake,and Grass-Tiger Crouching Tour",and "Exploring the Karst Wonders and Experiencing Taoist Culture".Finally,the implementation of the content of Case 1 was carried out,and course summary and evaluation were conducted.This article mainly draws the following conclusions:(1)Geography is the main battlefield for conducting ecological civilization education.Students have a good grasp of ecological civilization knowledge,but there is a lack of ecological civilization awareness.(2)Students have a great interest in experiential learning travel,but there are few relevant practical activities for ecological civilization education in their daily study or life.Teachers’ teaching methods focus more on knowledge imparting than on cultivating students’ qualities.All these factors combined lead to a low degree of ecological civilization behavior implementation by students and a lack of geographical practical skills.(3)The embodiment of cognition and the design of activities in the case study are in line with each other,which is helpful for students’ learning.During the implementation of the case study,a series of activities and observations were conducted to make students feel the integration of the body and the environment.Within a short period of time,students had a certain level of understanding and awareness of the ecological civilization status and problems of the region.Through course activities and summary,students’ grasp of knowledge was further deepened.(4)Gradually establishing the ideas of green development,sustainable development,and harmonious development between humans and the environment,enhancing students’ core geographical literacy and ecological civilization awareness,and practicing ecological civilization behavior during experiential learning travel ultimately achieves the integration of experiential learning travel and ecological civilization education.
