Junior high school geography learning method Geography, as a discipline, has many similarities with other disciplines in learning methods. Such as: scientific learning attitude; Use your head, hands and mouth frequently; Ears, eyes, mouth, hands, heart, etc. At the same time, it also has its own unique learning methods. First, the soul of geography learning-the use of maps. 1, you must prepare the basic tool of geography class before class, which is also a common tool-atlas. 3. Hand-drawn sketches, such as the oil export routes in West Asia. Students can draw a simple schematic diagram with correct relative position on a piece of grass paper. This kind of drawing doesn't require much accuracy, as long as it can explain the problem. 4. Map classification includes sunshine map, statistical map, topographic profile map, geological map, geographical landscape map, geographical schematic map, geographical cartoon map, geographical data map, geographical structure map and geographical isoline map. 5. Learn to change drawings ① Tu Tu transformation (cross-sectional drawings are converted into plan drawings) ② Graphic-text transformation 6. Learn to use maps ① to summarize geographical laws or characteristics ② to review China geography with map memory: You can see 10 maps, namely: administrative map of China, topographic map of China, climate map of China (temperature and precipitation), water system map of China, and resource map of China (forest, minerals, hydropower and water resources map). Look at the pictures, remember them, or even draw them one by one, and you will have the basic knowledge of China's geography. 7. When reviewing, you should take the map as the knowledge carrier, often look at the map and read more maps. Second, the pillar of geography learning-understanding the teaching materials 1, according to the outline, master the principles and laws of geography. First, read the book thick: take notes on the book, supplement your understanding or find out your doubts. Second, read the book thin: organize and summarize the knowledge to form the backbone, and establish your own "mind map." Mind mapping refers to expressing the concepts, thoughts and theories in people's minds by means of diagrams, making tacit knowledge explicit and visual, and facilitating thinking, communication and expression. It is a knowledge network diagram composed of nodes and lines, in which nodes represent concepts, lines represent the relationship between concepts, and a topic and its hierarchy are represented by a network knowledge structure composed of nodes and lines. 2, the use of textbooks, learn to extrapolate, to find the general characteristics and laws of similar geographical things. In the review, we should jump out of the limitations of the textbook, appropriately broaden our knowledge, and have a certain foundation for thinking, so that we can draw inferences from others and think flexibly. 3. Use textbooks to summarize and master the rules of geography learning. Such as: regional geography (continent or country): location, scope, population, topography, climate, rivers and lakes, resources, industry and agriculture, transportation and cities. 4. Clever memory of geographical knowledge ① homophonic memory method. For example: the most abundant natural elements in the earth's crust: oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium (adopted daughter, for which beauty? ) 2 formula memory method. For example: the names of provincial administrative regions in China: two rivers, two lakes and two provinces, two mountains and five rivers, Yunnan, Guizhou and Fujian; Sichuan Xining is green, Gansu and Shaanxi are heavy, and the Taiwan Province Strait is connected to the sky in the north. In Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions, one country, two systems has been realized. Third, be good at linking things from different regions. To establish the connection between different geographical things, we must first ask "why?" This will form a good habit of geographical thinking. For example, the world's rainpole is Kilabandhi in India, so why did Kilabandhi become the world's rainpole? Combined with the map, according to the geographical location of Jilabangqi, it can be analyzed that Jilabangqi is located on the windward slope of the Himalayas, where there is a lot of topographic precipitation. In this way, the climate is related to the terrain and location. Four, the understanding of geographical principles and concepts should grasp the key points and grasp the key. Mastering the principles and essentials of geography does not need to be as accurate as fractions and theorems in physics and mathematics. As long as we grasp the key points, it is very easy to understand and master them. For example: "In nature, sunlight, air, water, etc. What is valuable to mankind is natural resources. " We should grasp two main points: first, what exists in nature is not industrial products. For example, although gasoline is valuable to human beings, it is not directly obtained from nature by human beings, but an industrial product. Second, it is of use value to mankind. What is of no use value is not. For example, although deserts exist in nature, at present, they are of no use value to human beings and do not belong to natural resources. That's enough. It is important to have a correct method to learn geography, but it is also important to have a correct learning attitude to learn geography well.
