Research On The Teaching Mode Of LocaSpace Viewer Aided In The Construction Of Mental Map

The mental map is a virtual map that exists in the brain and forms a scientific mapping with the real world.Constructing a mental map is of great significance for students to understand the complex geographic world,solve geographic problems,adapt to the geography teaching under the background of the new curriculum reform,and promote the implementation of the core literacy of geography.The general high school geography curriculum standard(2017 edition)emphasizes the need to deepen the use of information technology and create an intuitive,real-time,and vivid geography teaching environment.At the same time,it proposes teaching methods such as problem-based teaching and situational teaching.Teaching methods such as problem-based teaching and situational teaching highlight the subjectivity of students,creating an autonomous,cooperative,and inquiring learning environment for students.However,the research on the construction of students’ mental maps is still based on the traditional teaching mode,and there are few teaching modes under the new curriculum concept.As a geographic information technology application platform(hereinafter referred to as LSV),LocaSpace Viewer has the advantages of remote sensing,global satellite navigation system and geographic information system,and plays an important role in assisting geographic teaching and constructing mental maps.Based on this,this research uses LSV as a geography teaching tool to design a geography teaching model that is helpful to the construction of students’mental maps from the perspective of teaching strategies.This research uses LSV as a teaching tool.Based on literature research and experience summaries,a teaching model that LSV assists in the construction of students’ mental maps is designed,and its effectiveness is tested through educational experiments.First of all,the background,significance,methods and ideas of this research are discussed through literature review,and the research progress of this research at home and abroad is sorted out.Second,it defines related concepts and expounds the theoretical basis.Third,determine the goals and principles of model construction,sort out the theoretical and practical basis of model construction,and related geography teaching models,and design three teaching models:modular,elemental and topical based on LSV-assisted mental map construction through literature analysis,And explained the application path of the teaching mode and related precautions.Fourth,carry out empirical research.Design teaching cases,implement control experiments,and test the effectiveness of the teaching model.Finally,summarize the main conclusions and shortcomings of this research.The main contents of this research are:(1)Based on literature analysis,understand the current research status at home and abroad,the process of forming student mental maps,and related geography teaching models.(2)According to different teaching strategies,with the goal of mental map construction,and following the principles of geography,scientificity,operability and systemicity,three teaching modes of LSV assisted mental map construction are designed,namely modular teaching mode and elemental teaching mode.And thematic teaching mode.The meanings,goals and operating procedures of the three teaching modes are explained,and the application path of the teaching mode of LSV-assisted mental map construction before,during and after class is designed.(3)Combining the Likert scale and the construction content of the student’s mental map,the author selects five important geographical elements of geographic location,climate type,topography,river and city as the evaluation content,and designed an evaluation table for the construction level of the student’s mental map.(4)According to the three teaching models,select teaching content,design cases,implement teaching processes,and carry out educational experiments.By comparing the pre-test and post-test results of mental map drawing between the control class and the experimental class,it shows that the three teaching modes based on LSV have a positive effect on the improvement of students’ mental map construction level.
