Research on the Geographical Teaching Value and Application of Reasoning Language Games
Reasoning language games, as a low-cost, highly interactive, thought-provoking form of language games, are highly compatible with geography teaching that emphasizes comprehensive thinking and inquiry ability. It has the unique teaching value of cultivating geographical core literacy through immersive games, stimulating deep learning motivation through fun, and exercising higher-order thinking ability through logical reasoning. Construct the reasoning language game application geography teaching model in accordance with the four fundamental principles of geographical scientificity, logical consistency, thought-provoking and situational story-telling. Taking the lesson "The History of the Earth" as an example, a teaching case based on the game "Who is the Spy" was designed. Practice shows that this model can provide a dynamic and effective new idea for the reform of geography classroom teaching.
