| In the process of continuous social development,the state has put forward new requirements for talent cultivation.The successive use of the new version of the history curriculum standards and textbooks has posed higher challenges to history teaching.Transfer of learning theory is one of the important theories in educational psychology,which refers to the knowledge,skills,and experiences acquired in one context can be transferred to other contexts,thereby promoting the occurrence of new learning and improving learning effectiveness.It has important guiding significance for teaching practice.In high school history teaching,transfer of learning theory has a wide range of application value,which can help teachers better teach historical knowledge and improve students’ learning effectiveness.By exploring the application of transfer of learning theory in high school history teaching,in order to provide effective teaching strategies and theoretical support for high school history teaching.On the basis of previous research,through literature research and questionnaire survey,an investigation and analysis was conducted on the application of transfer of learning theory in high school history knowledge teaching,ability cultivation,and emotional education.The survey showed that teachers and students have a certain understanding of transfer of learning theory,and most teachers also use it to guide students in learning.However,there are still problems in applying transfer of learning theory in high school history teaching,such as teachers not integrating the content of teaching materials reasonably,students lacking strong cognitive ability,teaching design being too standardized,students’ learning methods being relatively single,and inadequate emotional experience.Based on the analysis of the problems,aiming at the existing problems,the following optimization strategies may be worth learning: first,teachers should reasonably integrate the content of history teaching materials to promote transfer;second,cultivate students’ cognitive ability to effectively promote learning transfer;third,design creative history learning contexts to enhance students’ transfer motivation;fourth,use various historical learning methods skillfully to provide assistance for promoting learning transfer;finally,teachers should pay attention to emotional attitudes and values to achieve the goal of learning transfer.Optimization strategies were proposed to address the problems identified in the survey,with the aim of providing effective teaching strategies for applying transfer of learning theory in high school history teaching.Strengthening the research and learning of transfer of learning theory,and applying research results to practical teaching,is an inevitable requirement for teachers under the context of the new curriculum.Only in this way can students’ learning transfer ability be better cultivated,their comprehensive quality be improved,and a solid foundation be laid for their future development. |
