如何在小学师资培训班或假期短训班讲好自然教材教法课?由于目前无陈规可循,这是个需要认真研究的课题。近年来,我们考虑到《自然》是小学的一门重要课程,不仅要为高一级学校的有关学科打基础,而且应激发学生热爱自然的兴趣,培养儿童各种能力。而当前许多教师没受过系统训练,缺少观察、实验方面的基本知识,致使自然课的实验教学显得十分薄弱,教学质量低劣。所以,我们给师资培训班或假期短训班讲《自然教材教法》课时,应该遵循学以致用原则,以小学自然课本上的教学问题为内容,不仅要讲教法理论,而且每讲一单元,就应辅导学员做一次实验。例如讲完《简单机械》这一单元后,可将学员分成四人一组,布置他们做“杠杆平衡条件”、“滑轮”、“斜面”三个实验。讲课教师先交代操作顺序 How to teach good nature teaching materials in elementary school teacher training classes or holiday training classes? Because there are no regulations to follow, this is a subject that needs careful study. In recent years, we have considered that “Nature” is an important lesson for primary schools. It should not only lay the foundation for the relevant disciplines in higher schools, but also stimulate students’ interest in nature and nurture children’s abilities. At present, many teachers have not received systematic training and lack the basic knowledge of observation and experimentation, which makes the experimental teaching of natural courses seem very weak and the quality of teaching is poor. Therefore, when we lecture on the “Teaching Methods of Natural Textbooks” for teacher training classes or holiday training classes, we should follow the principles of learning to apply and take the teaching problems in the natural textbooks of primary schools as the content. We must not only teach the theory of teachings but also each Units should coach students to do an experiment. For example, after completing the “Simple Machinery” unit, the students can be divided into groups of four and they are arranged to perform three experiments: “Leverage Balance Condition”, “Pulley”, and “Bevel”.
