Abstract

This paper focuses on the design of interdisciplinary theme-based learning in high school geography based on authentic contexts, aiming to provide practical teaching solutions that better align with students’ cognitive development and literacy cultivation. It first elaborates on the necessity of interdisciplinary theme-based learning in geography grounded in real-world situations, then analyzes the design logic of such learning approaches. Subsequently, leveraging the comprehensive nature of geography, it explores specific design methods for theme identification, goal setting, activity planning, and evaluation systems. The study aims to offer teachers actionable teaching strategies and help students enhance their geographical understanding and interdisciplinary application skills.
