(3)一切從實際出發(fā)、實事求是在講授這部分內(nèi)容時,同樣繼續(xù)利用長城的例子來說明,古人正是經(jīng)過實地的考察得出最佳的建造地點等,結(jié)合了當?shù)禺敃r的實際來建造長城,引導(dǎo)學(xué)生得出從實際出發(fā),實事求是的結(jié)論。3、課程小結(jié):本節(jié)的所有內(nèi)容已經(jīng)講授完畢了,為了讓學(xué)生更好地鞏固本節(jié)課所學(xué)的知識,我會利用板書為學(xué)生梳理本節(jié)的重點條框內(nèi)容。這樣能夠幫助學(xué)生理清思路明確各知識點的關(guān)系。4、作業(yè):我會要求同學(xué)在課后以某一個事例(如:一件事情、一棟建筑、一輛汽車等)為例,來寫出著個事例中體現(xiàn)我們今天所講課的內(nèi)容的知識點。七、說教學(xué)理念我的教學(xué)理念是以傳統(tǒng)的教授法與范例教學(xué)法就相結(jié)合的教學(xué)方法為主,充分利用多媒體的教學(xué)手段,結(jié)合事例來講解知識,在上課過程中充分調(diào)動同學(xué)的積極性來講解知識。我的說課完畢,不足之處望各位老師給予指正!
① 實驗設(shè)計將學(xué)生分組,利用桌上的器材進行探究(幻燈片展示)這個實驗難度較大,為了降低難度,為實驗探究鋪下第二臺階,要求學(xué)生先分小組討論以下問題(幻燈片展示)有些學(xué)生可能不知如何下手,我會要求學(xué)生先閱讀課本中的實驗描述從中得到一點提示,再讓一兩個小組同學(xué)回答,這樣既體現(xiàn)了學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的主體性又可提高學(xué)生自主思考和語言表達能力,之后我再進行補充完善(幻燈片展示答案),并用幻燈片把實驗步驟展示出來,在學(xué)生實驗過程一直保留,使學(xué)生能朝正確的方向進行猜想和操作,為實驗探究鋪下第三個臺階。② 實施探究在學(xué)生分組進行探究過程,教師巡視解惑,隨時觀察學(xué)生情況,解答學(xué)生提出的問題,還可用自言自語方式提示應(yīng)注意的一些問題,如儀器的正確使用,操作的規(guī)范等,幫助學(xué)生盡量在規(guī)定時間內(nèi)順利完成實驗。
六、教學(xué)程序設(shè)計(“一三五”模式)為了完成這節(jié)課的教學(xué)目標,我是這樣安排的:第一環(huán)節(jié): (約10分鐘)根據(jù)對自主探究案的批閱情況,解決學(xué)生的遺留問題具體實施:投影學(xué)生的自主探究案,讓學(xué)生交流討論,教師點評。第二環(huán)節(jié): ( 約30分鐘)新課學(xué)習(xí):在“課堂互動案”的導(dǎo)學(xué)提綱引領(lǐng)下,完成這節(jié)課的三維教學(xué)目標。具體實施:多媒體輔助教學(xué)、交流討論。第三環(huán)節(jié): (約5分鐘)課堂小結(jié)和布置作業(yè):為了體現(xiàn)課程改革的新理念——學(xué)生是學(xué)習(xí)的主人,我改變傳統(tǒng)的教師總結(jié)為學(xué)生總結(jié)的模式,既強化了學(xué)生所學(xué)的知識,又培養(yǎng)了學(xué)生的歸納和概括能力。作業(yè)分為兩部分:(1)書面作業(yè)p85,1、2、3、4。(2)完成“應(yīng)用提升案”。七、板書設(shè)計由于多媒體在物理教學(xué)中僅是一種輔助手段,不能完全取代黑板,因此一節(jié)課的主要內(nèi)容和學(xué)生的必要參與還需要借助黑板來幫助。我在這節(jié)課的板書設(shè)計中突出了主要內(nèi)容,簡潔明了。
(3)ATP的利用關(guān)于ATP的利用,一是要講清楚吸能反應(yīng)和放能反應(yīng)與ATP的分解和合成的關(guān)系,二是要充分利用教材上的圖解,讓學(xué)生在看懂圖解的基礎(chǔ)上,討論ATP還有哪些用途,從而對該圖解進行補充和完善。3、課堂小結(jié),強化認識。ATP作為能量的“通貨”,在生物體生命活動中具有重要的意義。我們不僅要知道ATP的分子結(jié)構(gòu),還要掌握ATP是如何行使他的貨幣能力。4、板書設(shè)計結(jié)束:本節(jié)課設(shè)置了一系列問題情境,層層設(shè)問,在學(xué)生答問、質(zhì)疑、討論過程中讓學(xué)生建構(gòu)新概念和新的知識體系,并通過教師及時掌握反饋信息,適時點撥、調(diào)節(jié),讓學(xué)生在推理判斷中培養(yǎng)良好的思維習(xí)慣和對知識的遷移能力,而且通過留出一定的時間讓學(xué)生提問,體現(xiàn)了以學(xué)生為主體的思想。我的說課完畢,謝謝大家。
教師點撥:是社會主義意識形態(tài)的本質(zhì)體現(xiàn),是全國人民團結(jié)奮斗的共同思想基礎(chǔ)。④建設(shè)社會主義核心價值體系的要求設(shè)置探究問題:建設(shè)社會主義核心價值體系的要求有哪些?學(xué)生自主學(xué)習(xí)教材,得出結(jié)論板書:3建設(shè)社會主義核心價值體系的要求設(shè)計意圖:在掌握了內(nèi)容的基礎(chǔ)上,這一部分知識的學(xué)習(xí)水到渠成。高舉旗幟科學(xué)發(fā)展板書:1、中共引領(lǐng)文化前進方向的旗幟是——中國特色社會主義設(shè)置探究問題:高舉中國特色社會主義偉大旗幟最根本的要求是什么?學(xué)生自主學(xué)習(xí),回答問題板書:2高舉中國特色社會主義偉大旗幟,最根本的是堅持中國特色社會主義理論體系。教師繼續(xù)追問:這一理論體系的基本內(nèi)涵是什么?能否舉例說明這一理論體系有什么特點。學(xué)生討論,教師點撥:這個理論體系,堅持和發(fā)展了馬克思列寧主義、毛澤東思想,是馬克思主義中國化最新成果。中國特色社會主義理論體系具有強大的生命力、創(chuàng)造力、感召力,是不斷豐富和發(fā)展的馬克思主義
