二、說學(xué)情本課的教學(xué)對象為高二學(xué)生,他們思維活躍已具備一定歸納能力和分析、綜合能力,能夠自主地分析現(xiàn)實生活中的一些文化行為,但看問題往往比較偏激、片面,缺乏良好的邏輯思維能力。所以,在文化創(chuàng)新的途徑上要對他們進行指導(dǎo),以免走入誤區(qū)。三、教學(xué)目標(biāo)根據(jù)新課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)、教材特點、學(xué)生的實際,我確定了如下教學(xué)目標(biāo):【知識與能力目標(biāo)】1.理解文化創(chuàng)新的根本途徑和兩個基本途徑;2.了解文化創(chuàng)新過程中需要堅持正確方向,克服錯誤傾向。
一、說教材(一)教材分析本課所介紹的新文化運動,是繼上一節(jié)所學(xué)的《西學(xué)東漸和維新變法思想》之后中國另一波影響巨大的思想解放潮流,旨在向西方學(xué)習(xí)、尋求強國御侮之道。在整個知識體系中,它既是資產(chǎn)階級領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的舊民主主義革命的補課,又是無產(chǎn)階級領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的新民主主義革命的序曲。它所帶來的思想的空前解放,也就為馬克思主義的傳播創(chuàng)造了條件,為中共的成立奠定基礎(chǔ)。這一課的學(xué)習(xí)能讓學(xué)生清晰認(rèn)識新文化運動和馬克思主義在近代中國思想解放歷程中的重要作用和巨大影響。與必修一和必修二政治經(jīng)濟史的結(jié)合也能讓使學(xué)生強化歷史聯(lián)系。新課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)對本課就做了明確的規(guī)定:1、概述新文化運動的主要內(nèi)容,探討其對近代中國思想解放的影響。2、簡述馬克思主義在中國傳播的史實,認(rèn)識馬克思主義對中國歷史發(fā)展的重大意義。根據(jù)課標(biāo)要求,我制定了以下具體的三維目標(biāo)。
PPT:文化創(chuàng)新的途徑環(huán)節(jié)二:(展示情境 探究問題)情境一:先后展示徐悲鴻的《奔馬圖》和《愚公移山》設(shè)計意圖:在作品的選擇上遵循由易到難,由感性到理性的原則讓同學(xué)們從中體會作者的創(chuàng)作情懷,比較兩幅圖表達的心境不同之處及其原因。探究一:從創(chuàng)作背景的不同,探究文化創(chuàng)新的根本途徑。PPT:(設(shè)問)1、為什么同一畫家在不同時期,作品所反映的內(nèi)容不同?2、從中我們可看出,文化創(chuàng)新的根本途徑是什么?設(shè)計意圖:引導(dǎo)學(xué)生分析時代的變化對人們的社會實踐的影響,因而文化工作者在體驗生活的過程中創(chuàng)作的作品意境也會不同,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生透過現(xiàn)象看本質(zhì)的能力,得出文化創(chuàng)新的根本途徑是社會實踐。教師過渡:在社會實踐中,徐悲鴻先生還有什么創(chuàng)作的成功秘訣嗎?探究二:從創(chuàng)作心得的展示,探究文化創(chuàng)新的重要途徑(PPT)徐悲鴻一生致力于國畫的創(chuàng)新實踐,他認(rèn)為革新中國繪畫的要旨在于:“古法之佳者,守之;不佳者,改之;垂絕者,繼之;未足者,增之;西方畫之可采入者,融之?!?設(shè)計意圖:通過閱讀材料,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生尋找關(guān)鍵詞的能力,并從中總結(jié)歸納文化創(chuàng)新的重要途徑----繼承傳統(tǒng)、推陳出新。
一、教學(xué)目標(biāo):基于對教材的理解和分析,根據(jù)《課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》和學(xué)生的知識水平及認(rèn)知特點。我制定了這樣的教學(xué)目標(biāo)。(1)知識目標(biāo):理解社會實踐的發(fā)展是文化創(chuàng)新的動力和源泉,認(rèn)識文化創(chuàng)新的作用以及文化創(chuàng)新在新時代的價值和作用。(2)能力目標(biāo):能夠分析事例,說明社會實踐是文化創(chuàng)作和發(fā)展的重要根源,從而培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的比較分析能力、辯證思維能力(3)情感態(tài)度與價值觀目標(biāo):通過本框教學(xué),使學(xué)生明確文化創(chuàng)新的重大作用,激發(fā)學(xué)生投身建設(shè)中國特色社會主義偉大實踐而進行文化創(chuàng)新的熱情,從而培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的創(chuàng)新精神、愛國情感和民族自豪感,增強學(xué)生進行文化創(chuàng)新的責(zé)任感和使命感。二、教材分析本框題內(nèi)容包括情景導(dǎo)入--不盡的源泉,情景分析--巨大的作用、深刻的意義和情景回歸--呼喚文化創(chuàng)新的時代三個目題。其內(nèi)在的邏輯關(guān)系是由第一目題導(dǎo)入社會實踐是文化創(chuàng)新的源泉,也是文化創(chuàng)新的動力的觀點,第二目是對文化創(chuàng)新的作用進行理論上的分析。第三目情景回歸,當(dāng)今時代呼喚文化創(chuàng)新。
二、巨大的作用,深刻地意義材料展示:魯迅在《狂人日記》中猛烈抨擊“吃人”的封建禮教,力圖通過自己的吶喊喚醒民眾。高爾基早期的作品多描繪俄國沙皇制度下人民的痛苦和他們對美好生活的憧憬。20世紀(jì)初,俄國革命形勢的發(fā)展使他講文學(xué)的筆鋒轉(zhuǎn)向革命,創(chuàng)作了《母親》等作品。合作探究:魯迅和高爾基的作品在當(dāng)時的中國和俄國分別起到了什么作用?列舉喜愛的一些文學(xué)和藝術(shù)作品,說說創(chuàng)作者的意圖是什么?引導(dǎo)學(xué)生自主閱讀,培養(yǎng)自主學(xué)習(xí)能力,掌握分析歸納法和團結(jié)協(xié)作精神。學(xué)生回答之后師生共同總結(jié):文化創(chuàng)新來源于社會實踐,同也會對于社會實踐產(chǎn)生新的影響,促進社會實踐的變化,同時也繁榮了民族文化。所以文化創(chuàng)新的巨大作用一方面表現(xiàn)為推動社會實踐的發(fā)展,另一方面表現(xiàn)為不斷促進民族文化的繁榮。既然文化創(chuàng)新具有如此巨大的作用,那么作為新時代祖國的建設(shè)者為了繁榮民族文化,又該作些什么呢?進入本課第三目和教學(xué)的第三個環(huán)節(jié)。[情景回歸參與生活]
(三)呼喚文化創(chuàng)新的時代(板書)1.人民群眾是文化創(chuàng)造的主體--(板書)師:【圖片文字展示】--《離騷》、《九歌》、《水滸傳》、《三國演義》均取材自民間,在民間口述文字的基礎(chǔ)上加工形成,所以,我們可以看到,文化創(chuàng)新的主體是誰?生:人民群眾是文化創(chuàng)造的主體師:在新的歷史時期,我們的青少年應(yīng)該怎么做?生:虛心向人民群眾學(xué)習(xí),從人民群眾的偉大實踐和豐富多彩的生活中汲取營養(yǎng),這是當(dāng)代中國文化工作者的使命和職責(zé)。2.文化工作者必須堅定地走與人民群眾的實踐相結(jié)合的道路--(板書)3.當(dāng)代中國文化創(chuàng)作者的使命和職責(zé)。(板書)【課堂小結(jié)】通過本節(jié)課的探究學(xué)習(xí),我們認(rèn)識到文化創(chuàng)新的源泉和作用,要求我們虛心向人民群眾學(xué)習(xí),從人民群眾的偉大實踐和豐富多彩的生活中汲取營養(yǎng),刻苦鉆研,銳意創(chuàng)新,為全面建設(shè)小康社會而奮斗。
(1)社會實踐是文化創(chuàng)新的源泉實踐,作為人們改造客觀世界的活動,是一種有目的、有意識的社會性活動。人類在改造自然和社會的實踐中,創(chuàng)造出自己特有的文化。離開了社會實踐;文化就會成為無源之水、無本之木,人們不可能從事任何有價值的文化創(chuàng)造?!蟊菊n小結(jié):1.關(guān)于本課邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)的宏觀把握:文化創(chuàng)新的源泉和作用這一問題,教材分三個層次展開論證:一是不盡的源泉,不竭的動力;二是巨大的作用,深刻的意義;三是呼喚文化創(chuàng)新的時代。教材運用辯證方法從文化創(chuàng)新的源泉和作用展開論述。即社會實踐是文化創(chuàng)新的源泉,文化創(chuàng)新又推動社會實踐的發(fā)展和促進民族文化的繁榮。教材關(guān)于文化創(chuàng)新的途徑問題,從三個層次展開講述:第一個層次是“繼承傳統(tǒng),推陳出新”;第二個層次是“面向世界,博采眾長”;第三個層次是“堅持正確方向,克服錯誤傾向”。三個層次三個角度,著重于分析每一個層次,然后予以歸納總結(jié),即采用了分析歸納法,層次清晰,教學(xué)目標(biāo)明確,既便于傳授知識,又便于學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)時識記、理解和把握。
3.社會實踐對文化創(chuàng)新的決定作用社會實踐對文化創(chuàng)新具有兩個方面的重要作用:(1)社會實踐是文化創(chuàng)新的源泉實踐,作為人們改造客觀世界的活動,是一種有目的、有意識的社會性活動。人類在改造自然和社會的實踐中,創(chuàng)造出自己特有的文化。離開了社會實踐;文化就會成為無源之水、無本之木,人們不可能從事任何有價值的文化創(chuàng)造?!蟊菊n小結(jié):1.關(guān)于本課邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)的宏觀把握:文化創(chuàng)新的源泉和作用這一問題,教材分三個層次展開論證:一是不盡的源泉,不竭的動力;二是巨大的作用,深刻的意義;三是呼喚文化創(chuàng)新的時代。教材運用辯證方法從文化創(chuàng)新的源泉和作用展開論述。即社會實踐是文化創(chuàng)新的源泉,文化創(chuàng)新又推動社會實踐的發(fā)展和促進民族文化的繁榮。教材關(guān)于文化創(chuàng)新的途徑問題,從三個層次展開講述:第一個層次是“繼承傳統(tǒng),推陳出新”;第二個層次是“面向世界,博采眾長”;第三個層次是“堅持正確方向,克服錯誤傾向”。
一、教材分析本課內(nèi)容為《文化生活》(人教版)第二單元“文化傳承與創(chuàng)新”第五課“文化創(chuàng)新”的第二框。如何進行文化創(chuàng)新既是一個社會熱點,具有很強的思想理論性,也具有很強的探索實踐性。在前面的學(xué)習(xí)探索的 過程中同學(xué)們基本明確了文化的交流、傳播和發(fā)展,也明白了文化的繼承和發(fā)展需要創(chuàng)新。那么,怎樣進行文化創(chuàng)新便是本課探討的內(nèi)容,也是本單元的重點、難點和落腳點。二、教學(xué)目標(biāo)(一)知識目標(biāo) (1)理解“取其精華,去其糟粕”,“推陳出新,革故鼎新”是文化創(chuàng)新必然要經(jīng)歷的過程;明確立足于社會實踐是文化創(chuàng)新的根本途徑;(2)理解不同民族文化之間的交流、借鑒與融合,是文化創(chuàng)新的重要途徑;(3)在文化創(chuàng)新過程中要把握當(dāng)代文化與傳統(tǒng)文化,本民族文化與外來文化的關(guān)系,反對“守舊主義”、“封閉主義”和“民族虛無主義”、“歷史虛無主義”。
一、教材分析本節(jié)內(nèi)容主要講述了社會實踐在文化創(chuàng)新中的作用和意義,明確了社會實踐是文化創(chuàng)新的源泉,也是文化創(chuàng)新的動力,文化創(chuàng)新的作用,既表現(xiàn)為不斷推動社會實踐的發(fā)展,又表現(xiàn)為不斷促進民族文化的繁榮。我們要從中體會社會實踐的重要性和意義。二、教學(xué)目標(biāo)(一)知識目標(biāo)(1) 理解文化發(fā)展的實質(zhì)在于創(chuàng)新;理解社會實踐是文化創(chuàng)新的源泉(2) 理解文化創(chuàng)新的作用;理解人民群眾是社會實踐的主體、文化創(chuàng)新的主體。(二)能力目標(biāo)培養(yǎng)學(xué)生列舉實例說明社會實踐在 文化創(chuàng)新中的作用。情感、態(tài)度價值觀目標(biāo):幫助學(xué)生充分認(rèn)識建 設(shè)社會主義先進文化的意義,增強民族文化的自豪感。 (三)情感、態(tài)度與價值觀目標(biāo)情感、態(tài)度及價值觀目標(biāo):通過學(xué)習(xí)本課題內(nèi)容,初步理解文化創(chuàng)新的、意義、作用,做一個有“文化”的人,認(rèn)識到文化創(chuàng)新的重要性。深刻理解建。

八、物理學(xué)的基礎(chǔ)地位及物理學(xué)對人類文明、社會進步的影響。(1) 情景一:磁懸浮實驗:找兩個空心的圓柱片磁鐵,同名磁極相對,穿在同一根竹筷上,用手壓下上面的磁鐵,松手觀察它的運動情況。問題1:上面的磁鐵為什么會跳起來,為什么會懸浮在下面的磁鐵上方?問題2:根據(jù)這個實驗,你會想到那一種交通工具?總結(jié):人們就是從磁懸浮現(xiàn)象中得到啟發(fā),進行磁懸浮列車的研究和制造的,這說明物理學(xué)在推動社會進步、人類文明方面起到推動作用。(2) 情景二:感應(yīng)起電和火花放電實驗:用感應(yīng)起電機或感應(yīng)圈產(chǎn)生火花放電,讓學(xué)生觀察現(xiàn)象,聞氣味,然后聯(lián)想生活實例。還可以用一張紙試著擋住放電的弧光,最好能引燃紙張,說明雷擊引起火災(zāi)的現(xiàn)象。問題1:你看、聽到了什么現(xiàn)象?問題2:根據(jù)這個實驗,你會想到那一種自然現(xiàn)象?問題3:放電發(fā)生在什么地方?為什么建筑物上方都有尖尖的設(shè)置,是干什么用的?問題4:你聞到什么氣味了嗎?
This happens because the dish soap molecules have a strong negative charge, and the milk molecules have a strong positive charge. Like magnets, these molecules are attracted to each other, and so they appear to move around on the plate, taking the food coloring with them, making it look like the colors are quickly moving to escape from the soap.Listening text:? Judy: Oh, I'm so sorry that you were ill and couldn't come with us on our field trip. How are you feeling now? Better?? Bill: Much better, thanks. But how was it?? Judy: Wonderful! I especially liked an area of the museum called Light Games.it was really cool. They had a hall of mirrors where I could see myself reflected thousands of times!? Bill: A hall of mirrors can be a lot of fun. What else did they have?? Judy: Well, they had an experiment where we looked at a blue screen for a while, and then suddenly we could see tiny bright lights moving around on it. You'll never guess what those bright lights were!? Bill: Come on, tell me!? Judy: They were our own blood cells. For some reason, our eyes play tricks on us when we look at a blue screen, and we can see our own blood cells moving around like little lights! But there was another thing I liked better. I stood in front of a white light, and it cast different shadows of me in every color of the rainbow!? Bill: Oh, I wish I had been there. Tell me more!? Judy: Well, they had another area for sound. They had a giant piano keyboard that you could use your feet to play. But then, instead of playing the sounds of a piano, it played the voices of classical singers! Then they had a giant dish, and when you spoke into it, it reflected the sound back and made it louder. You could use it to speak in a whisper to someone 17 meters away.? Bill: It all sounds so cool. I wish I could have gone with you? Judy: I know, but we can go together this weekend. I'd love to go there again!? Bill: That sounds like a great idea!
