The Applied Research Of Gradient Teaching Model In Senior High School Geography Teaching

Viggo J Ki’s theory of zone of proximate development holds that there are 2kinds of individual’s development levels, the first one is their current level, the second one is the potential level whose achievement need to resort to the others’ help, it called “potential” in our daily life, it also can be named as“zone of proximate development”. The traditional mode of teaching neglects students’ zone of proximate development, the knowledge imparted in class is deepened regardless of its difficulty which lead to a low-efficient class.Aimed at this situation and according to Viggo J Ki’s theory of zone of proximate development, we put forward a teaching mode which fits the students’ psychology feature well-- the Gradient Teaching Mode. The Gradient Teaching Mode refers to the teachers build a relationship between the new and the old knowledge through different kinds of gradient practices. The core of Gradient Teaching Mode is : according to the students’ cognitive rules to make gradient arrangement of teaching contents to achieve the high and the superior effect in teaching.This thesis including 5 parts. The first one is the introduction part which analysis the background of the research, the current situation of research,the meaning and the content of research etc. The following part is the body part which introduces the psychological learning feature of high school students and the evaluation requirements in high school geography. Based on it, the author introduces the connotation of Gradient Teaching and illustrates the difference between GT and the traditional teaching mode and then displays the meaning, the structure and the principals of GT. The fourth part mainly explains the requirements in the application of GT and the cases recorded in the read situation of GT. The case displays how the GT is applied in the class. The presents the statistic analysis of teaching effect. At last the author points out the advantages and defects of GT and some suggestions to the GT.
