地理是一门特殊的学科,地图是地理教学中最常用的教具,学生可以从地图上直接获取许多地理知识,是地理的“第二语言”。长期以来,初中地理课程中的地图学习,主要侧重在地图基本知识的学习,这显得有点舍本逐末。地图是一种工具,学习地图重在运用。在新课改的理念下要求学生学习对终身发展有用的地理,地图的学习目标应有所扩展,学习的重点要有所转移。 Geography is a special subject. The map is the most commonly used teaching aid in geography teaching. Students can acquire many geographical knowledge directly from the map, which is geographical “second language”. For a long time, junior high school geography curriculum map learning, mainly focused on the basic knowledge of map learning, it seems a bit homestead.
