In order to make the geography teacher training more effective, more targeted, the Ministry of Education launched the "compulsory education geography teacher training curriculum standard" in December 2014. At home and abroad, the theoretical research on the core competence of geography teachers is relatively few, and the research on the new geography teachers is in a blank state.Therefore, it has profound theoretical and practical significance to carry out the research of the new junior high school geography teachers’ professional core competence based on classroom observation.This thesis mainly from the domestic and foreign about junior middle school geography teachers’ professional core ability diagnosis study of literature review of combining the current our country teacher professional development background, to understand the subject of the value and necessity of the research. The author to the concept of the junior middle school geography teachers’ professional core competence is how to be defined as the starting point and point to the classroom observation as the main research methods and research perspective, the main theoretical basis of combined diagnosis of junior high school geography teachers professional core ability and practical basis to construct the diagnostic target and classroom observation scale, and will be applied to the actual diagnosis scale the new junior high school geography teacher’s classroom teaching, in order to understand the main problems and the reasons of the new junior high school geography teachers, finally put forward the corresponding countermeasures, and will be applied to the practice part of new geography teachers, in order to try from two aspects of theory and practice to provide certain reference and the diagnosis of junior high school geography teachers professional core ability. This thesis is divided into six parts:The first part is the introduction, mainly through the collection and collation of literature at home and abroad, put forward the research topic, research background, research significance, research status at home and abroad, as well as the research program and innovation point of this thesis.The second part is the theoretical part, first through access to information, teachers professional core competence, junior high school geography teachers’professional core ability and diagnosis of the definition of the concept; and then clear the main theoretical foundation of the junior high school geography teachers professional core ability diagnosis research, namely:the geography theory foundation, geography curriculum and teaching theory, constructivism learning theory, Tyler curriculum evaluation theory foundation and teacher professional development stage of theoretical basis.The third part is the construction of diagnostic scale. First, clear the realistic basis for the diagnosis of classroom observation; secondly, through the expert consultation method consulting the field of geographic education experts, scholars and front-line teachers of geography to determine classroom observation diagnostic index and volume table, its main from geography knowledge imparting ability, the geography teaching methods using ability,geography teaching feedback and evaluation ability, the geography teaching media using ability and geography teaching resources development and utilization ability and other five dimensions scale construction.The fourth part is the diagnosis and analysis of classroom observation. This chapter mainly uses the classroom observation method to carry on the diagnosis to the new junior high school geography teacher professional core ability present situation. First, the diagnostic target definition for geography teachers in less than 5 years of junior high school geography teachers; secondly, classroom observations were carried out on the 9 subjects in the eastern, central and western regions from the recorded classroom teaching process, and on 9 junior high school geography teachers professional core competence analysis and diagnosis. Finally, in based on the analysis of the research object, summed up main problems existing in the new junior high school geography teachers’ professional core competence.The fifth part is to propose the countermeasures to cultivate, first of new junior high school geography teachers’ professional core ability causes problems for the analysis, then put forward the corresponding training strategies in accordance with the existing problems and the main reasons and from the previous 13 subjects selected a junior high school geography teachers track classroom observation, to the proposed the ways to cultivate the practice test.The sixth part is the main conclusion of this thesis, the existing problems and prospects.This research is a new research attempt to combine the characteristics of compulsory education geography to the study of teacher professional development. To carry out diagnosis research on junior middle school geography teachers’professional core competence, the research results in a certain extent, enrich the theoretical system of geography teachers’ professional development, the junior middle school geography teachers’ professional development has certain guiding role; at the same time, it also to our understanding junior high school geography teacher’s classroom teaching present situation and improvement of junior high school geography teachers teaching ability has important guidance and reference significance.
