当前,地理课被安排在初中一、二年级讲授,由于小学阶段没有开设地理常识课,因此,初中地理实际上是属于初学启蒙性质。而新颁地理教学大纲对教学要求较高,统编地理教材也有一定难度,于是年级低、课时少、难度大、要求高的矛盾,就十分尖锐地展现在地理教育工作者的面前。新编地理教材中既有丰富的基础知识、事实材料,又 At present, geography courses are arranged in the first and second grades of junior middle school. Since there is no geographic knowledge class in primary school, junior high school geography is actually a beginner’s enlightenment. The newly issued geography syllabus has a relatively high requirement for teaching, and it is also difficult to devise geography textbooks. Therefore, the contradictions of low grades, less class hours, greater difficulty, and higher requirements are very sharply presented to geography educators. There are rich basic knowledge and factual materials in the new geography textbooks.
