课堂提问是一种至关重要的教学技能,课堂提问的类型和难易对于学生学习的质和量具有显著影响。美国学者泽文根据布卢姆的提问和回答分类体系,将社会科教学划分为三个范畴:教导的范畴、思考的范畴和情感的范畴。在课堂提问时,记忆和理解的问题最适合于教导的方式,应用和分析的问题最适合于思考的方式,综合和判断的问题最适合于情感的方式。在美国,中小学社会科本质上是一门人文社会科学领域的综合课程。新世纪我国在初中开设了《历史与社会》、《社会》,小学开设了《品德与社会》等社会科课程。美国学者关于社会科课程提问的研究,对于我国中小学社会科课程教学改革具有一定的借鉴意义。 Classroom questions are a crucial teaching skill, and the type and difficulty of class questions have a significant impact on the quality and quantity of student learning. According to Bloom’s questioning and answering classification system, the American scholar Zevin divides social science teaching into three categories: teaching category, thinking category and emotional category. In class questions, the questions of memory and comprehension are best suited to the way of teaching, the questions of application and analysis are best suited to the way of thinking, and the questions of synthesis and judgment are best suited to the way of feeling. In the United States, primary and secondary school social science is essentially a comprehensive course in the humanities and social sciences. In the new century, our country has opened “history and society” and “society” in junior high schools and social science courses such as “character and society” in primary schools. The research of American scholars on social science curriculum questions has certain reference significance for the teaching reform of social science curriculum in primary and middle schools in our country.
