特色教学：地理组外出实习
2010年03月16日
开学伊始,SCIE地理教学部组织学生前往香港长洲岛开展为期两天半的海岸坡度测量,旅游问卷调查和当地土地利用调查的地理野外实习.本次活动主要由SCIE地理教学组长Mike Gadd先生发起并组织,旨在帮助学生将课堂所学到的自然地理和人文地理知识尽快的融入实际,也为5月份即将到来的IGCSE国际地理考试的Paper Four 地理调查实习部分做准备. 总共有33个G2地理学生参加了本次活动,另外我们也邀请了4位 AS地理教学班的同学在活动中协助教师开展工作.
按照实习计划的安排,根据总人数和性别结构所分配好的两个大组将在组长的带领下,f分别于上午和下午交替从事于海岸地貌调查测量和土地利用调查活动.当一组的同学在东湾和观音湾从事海岸地形测量时,另一组的同学将在长洲鱼镇做关于土地利用模式的调查.下午的时候两组交换任务.无论大组还是组内根据任务临时搭配的小组都能很好的协调工作,并一致认为将课堂知识应用于实践是一件非常开心的事情.
实习进行到第二天,所有的学生都被要求开展岛屿旅游和移民的问卷调查, 尽管天气有点糟糕气温也有大幅度的下降,学生们的参与积极性一直很高.他们能很好的调整状态,冷静选择受访群体,礼貌的保持良好的互动交流.那些被学生问及到的无论是当地居民还是旅游者都被SCIE学生的礼貌和阳光所吸引.
尽管短暂的香港长洲岛地理野外实习活动已经结束,但是后续的数据整理和分析工作还在课堂中继续.正如学生所言,本次地理野外实习不仅有助于他们将平时课堂中间所学习的地理理论知识与现实问题结合起来,同时也将平时只能在课本插图中才能看到的地理地貌景观真切的展现在自己的面前.我们希望这种形式的地理野外教学形式可以以制度化的方式长期保持下去,这样将会更加有利于选修地理学科的同学透彻的理解知识和牢固的掌握知识.
总体来说,本次活动的开展是成功的,同学们在参与的过程中能很好的自身角色定位,在完成教学任务的前提之下展现了学校良好的学纪校风, 其他同事们也对本次活动也给予了理解和支持,也特别感谢他们对本次地理野外实习活动的帮助,大力支持赶制十几根不锈钢测量标杆,才才保证了本次活动的顺利开展.
At the start of this semester, SCIE G2 geography students traveled to Cheung Chau island of Hong Kong to carry out coastline, tourism and land uses fieldwork, which lasted three days from March 07, 2010 to March o7, 2010.for their incoming skill exam. The trip was headed by Mr Mike Gadd and Sunny from the Geography Department, who believe that geography learning should go beyond the classroom. They hoped that this field trip would bring to light the importance of geography as it touched both natural and human aspects of the real world. Approximately 33 geography students were invited to this beneficial trip, together with 3 A1 students who also attended as assistants of teachers. All the students are divided into two groups.
The first day
We divided all the students into two main groups base on the sex structure, these groups alternately undertook beach profile and land uses investigation. When some students of one group spent morning investigating the effects of marine processes on the beach at Tai Kwai Wan bay and Kwun Yam Wa bay. They measured the slope of the beach and samples of eroded beach material. The other group students investigated the different types of land uses on this offshore island resort. Using a number of different fieldwork investigation techniques they collected the primary data. The groups worked well together and enjoyed the opportunity to use their geographical knowledge in the outdoors
On the next day, all the students were asked to do the questionnaire survey of tourism and migration around the Cheung Chau island. Even though the weather was not nice, the temperature declined dramatically, the pupils thoroughly enjoyed the while process. Members of tourist and local people who were asked to help by answering their questionnaires were impressed by their polite manners and friendly smiles.
Now the field trip was over, but the work in the classroom continues for processing the data from the Cheung Chau island. According to a student, the trip provided them with a wonderful opportunity to relate their knowledge acquired in the classroom to the real world. Another student said that having this trip makes a new experience in learning geography where he can see the true landforms rather than seeing photos in the text book, while at the same time, enjoy some of the natural wonders. It is hoped that this types of field trip could be organized every semester to support students’ IGCSE and AS geography study in working towards their target grade.
Overall it was a superb trip where the IGCSE geography class represented the school well. The other staffs also commented positively on the keen attitude and how the group demonstrated application of their knowledge from the classroom in the real landscape. Many thanks go to the staff who helped us on the trip especially the staff at combined service department for preparing and making geography equipments immediately.
