然而,挑战的另一个主要部分是教师培训问题。来自各种来源的证据,包括 1965-66 年 HSGP 材料的学校试验表明,大多数中学地理教师几乎没有接受过地理培训。此外,HSGP 材料代表了使地理教育更接近研究前沿的尝试。强调概念和地理概括,而不强调事实的学习。因此,教师所接受的地理培训可能与教材的相关性不大。尽管我们试图通过提供完整的套件和精心设计、全面的教师指南来使我们的材料易于教学,但缺乏最新的地理培训可能对教师来说是一个严重的障碍。同样令许多教师感到陌生的是,在课堂上采用探究式的方式,让学生自己调查问题,而不是死记硬背。面对这些问题,项目制定了一项暂定计划,要求将教师快速培训项目作为最终的安居主题课程包的一部分。正如现在所设想的,培训计划将包括介绍达成目标的探究方法,以及回顾 HSGP 材料中的一些地理知识。
Another major part of the challenge, however, is the problem of teacher training. Evidence from a variety of sources, including the 1965-66 school trials of HSGP materials, indicates that most secondary school geography teachers have received little geography training. Further, HSGP materials represent an attempt to bring geographic education closer to the research frontiers. Concepts and geographic generalizations are stressed, while the learning of facts is de-emphasized. What geography training teachers have had may therefore have little relevance to the materials. Though we attempt to make our materials easy to teach by offering a complete package and by providing carefully designed, thorough teacher’s guides, a lack of up-todate geography training may be a severe handicap for the teacher. Also unfamiliar to many teachers is the use of an inquiry approach in the classroom-allowing students to investigate questions rather than memorizing from lecture notes.Facing these problems, the Project has formulated a tentative plan to require a teacher rapid-training program as a part of the final Settlement Theme Course package. The training program, as it is now visualized, would consist of an introduction to an inquiry approach to reaching, and a review of some of the geography in the HSGP materials.
