大教育家孔子曾说过,“知之者不如好之者,好之者不如乐之者”。这足以说明兴趣在学生学习中的作用,因此如何培养和激发学生的学习兴趣对提高地理教学的质量显得尤为重要。根据地理学科的特点,地理教师应不断地改革教法,提高课堂艺术,把死课本变成“活”课堂, The great educator Confucius once said that “the people who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as happy.” This is enough to explain the role of interest in student learning. Therefore, how to cultivate and stimulate students’ interest in learning is particularly important for improving the quality of geography teaching. According to the characteristics of the geography discipline, geography teachers should constantly reform teaching methods, improve classroom art, and turn dead textbooks into “living” classes.
