How to cultivate students' interest in learning geography? ppt

Interest is a power for people to acquire knowledge and skills. Bruner, an American educator, said: "The best stimulus for learning is interest in the materials you have learned." Einstein, a great scientist, said, "Interest and hobbies are the greatest motivation." Stimulating and cultivating students' interest in geography is particularly important for geography in Fuke junior high school, and the methods are also particularly rich. I often use the following methods in my teaching practice.

First, the use of short stories.

According to the content of the new lesson, retell and fabricate some short, vivid and lively stories, introduce the new lesson in time, and stimulate students' interest in learning. For example, quote the idiom story of "vicissitudes of life" in textbooks and cut into the changes of land and sea; Taking advantage of Zhuge Liang's vivid image of knowing astronomy above and geography below, this paper introduces his stories of "burning red cliff" and "borrowing arrows from grass boats" into Weather and Climate.

Second, the use of poetry.

Quote some vivid, vivid and accurate poems in the teaching process, create scenes, solve the basic laws of geographical things and stimulate students' interest in learning. For example, quote "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but toward which corner of the mountain" and introduce its model-a globe from a huge earth; Quote "the beauty of the world is in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom" and "one mountain has four seasons, and ten miles are different from the sky" to explain "the influence of topography on climate"

Third, the use of metaphor.

Metaphor is metaphor. In geography class, the clever use of metaphor can make geography knowledge from complex to simple, from difficult to easy, convenient for students to master, and increase classroom interest. For example, when teaching "the rotation of the earth", use "when people travel by car, they see the trees on the roadside walking backwards, but the trees are not moving, and people and Xiangqian Che are driving", for example, "We live on the earth and see the sun rise and set in the west, but the sun is not moving, but we turn from west to east with the earth."

Fourth, the use of competition forms.

Teenagers have the characteristics of being active and competitive. The competitive and outstanding mentality makes students willing to answer questions first, entertaining and full of interest. For example, when studying "North-South Time", both sides of "North-South Time" will answer first or in groups, score according to the answers, and finally announce the results. Because in the process of competition, students' enterprising motivation and need for success will be more intense, and their interest in learning and perseverance to overcome difficulties will be greatly enhanced, so most people's learning and work efficiency will be greatly improved in the case of competition.

In this way, in geography teaching, I reasonably carry out some competitions in class according to the actual situation, such as hands-on and answering questions between groups, individuals and boys and girls. In the competition, a teacher's high score and a word of praise often bring students new hope and magical power, and some even affect their lives. For the underachievers, we should pay more attention to encouraging them, rewarding their strengths in helping students, and letting them experience the interest in learning.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) is doubtful.

According to the key points and difficulties in the new curriculum, some interesting questions are designed as an introduction to stimulate students' desire for knowledge and make psychological preparations for accepting new knowledge. For example, when teaching Dateline, I asked a question: "There are twins, but my sister's birthday is bigger than mine. What's wrong? " Students are eager to know the answer, so they must listen carefully and think positively, which is easy to solve.

Intransitive verbs use images and videos.

The new curriculum teaching materials are diversified in images, including landscape maps, distribution maps, schematic maps, cartoon maps and so on. , supplemented by refined written language. Abandon the tedious written language of the old textbook and turn it into a concise and easy-to-understand image language. Make full use of the images in the teaching materials, or the layout set by colored chalk, and the dynamic images and videos set by multimedia to design a series of interesting and novel small problems such as "think about it", "find it" and "draw a picture", which can improve students' observation and judgment ability and stimulate their interest, enthusiasm and creativity in learning geography.

Seven, the use of easy-to-remember songs, proverbs and jingles.

In teaching, students are interested in mastering the interrelated laws of regional geography and compiling simple and catchy songs to make them remember quickly. Appropriate quotation of folk proverbs in teaching is easy to understand and interesting, which deepens the understanding and application of geographical knowledge. For example, the folk song "Wear fur coat in the morning, gauze in the afternoon, and eat watermelon around the stove" vividly interprets the characteristics of large temperature difference in continental climate in northwest China, which is full of appeal. Inner Mongolia Plateau uses the beautiful artistic conception of "blue sky and white clouds floating, horses running under white clouds" to experience the vastness and magnificence of temperate grassland. This kind of teaching can stimulate students' strong interest in learning. Another example is the Yangtze River section, which needs a lot of memories, including the source and length of the Yangtze River, 1 1 province, municipality directly under the central government, autonomous region, the upper, middle and lower reaches, the injected ocean, and the sentence: "The source of the Yangtze River is detached, and it flows from Gladanton Mountain. People from Qinghai-Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, Chongqing, Hubei and Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shanghai in the East China Sea. Yichang hukou is up and down, and the golden waterway is 6,300. " Memorizing geographical things with rhymes not only consolidates geographical knowledge, stimulates interest, but also cultivates students' enthusiasm for writing geographical rhymes.

Eight, the use of vivid language

The teaching language should not only be correct, accurate, coherent and concise, but also be vivid, incorporate humor in time, attract students' attention, create a relaxed and happy classroom atmosphere and stimulate students' interest in learning. For example, when teaching "the formation of precipitation", he said: "The higher the temperature, the greater the appetite of the atmosphere; The lower the temperature, the less appetite the atmosphere has. How to make the atmosphere eat less and spit out excess water vapor to form precipitation? " This inspires students' association and extends their thinking activities.

In short, interest is a good teacher. To make students interested in learning, we must have good teaching materials, flexible and diverse teaching methods, vivid and intuitive teaching methods, and opportunities for students to actively participate in and realize their self-worth. Strengthen confidence, change ideas, make teaching interesting and learning interesting, and better complete the junior high school geography teaching task.
