材料五航路開(kāi)辟后,東方香料輸入歐洲的總量較中古之時(shí)猛增30倍,而胡椒、丁香等在印度購(gòu)入和在英國(guó)賣(mài)出的差價(jià)亦高達(dá)10至29倍,其他貨物的獲利同樣驚人。這一時(shí)期,新的商品不斷涌現(xiàn),特別值得注意的是美洲的特產(chǎn)——玉米、馬鈴薯、煙草、可可等——被傳播到歐亞大陸。這時(shí),世界性的對(duì)外貿(mào)易主要通過(guò)大西洋,地中海與意大利皆告衰落,而沿大洋的英、荷等漸居中心。到17世紀(jì)時(shí),英國(guó)的倫敦與荷蘭的阿姆斯特丹成為世界貿(mào)易中心。問(wèn)題4:材料五表明,新航路開(kāi)辟后對(duì)世界貿(mào)易產(chǎn)生了哪些重大影響?答案4:結(jié)束了世界相對(duì)孤立狀態(tài);各地文明開(kāi)始會(huì)合交流,日益連成一個(gè)整體;歐洲商人直接同世界各地建立商業(yè)聯(lián)系;促進(jìn)不同國(guó)家和貿(mào)易的發(fā)展,促進(jìn)世界市場(chǎng)雛形開(kāi)始出現(xiàn)。
【教學(xué)參考】對(duì)“新政”作用的評(píng)價(jià)史學(xué)界對(duì)“新政”作用的評(píng)價(jià)是仁者見(jiàn)仁、智者見(jiàn)智,但基本上有三種觀點(diǎn),即“功大于過(guò)論”、“過(guò)大于功論”和“功過(guò)參半論”。持“功大于過(guò)論”者認(rèn)為“新政”在美國(guó)歷史上基本上是一種進(jìn)步現(xiàn)象,首先,“新政”挽救了危機(jī),使美國(guó)人民擺脫了危機(jī)的困苦局面;其次,在缺少足夠的宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)政策知識(shí)的時(shí)代,羅斯福所做的努力確實(shí)是開(kāi)創(chuàng)性的;再次,羅斯?!靶抡遍_(kāi)啟了美國(guó)以后歷屆政府實(shí)施國(guó)家干預(yù)政策的大門(mén),成為緩解自由主義經(jīng)濟(jì)制度之弊病的一劑良方,并在實(shí)質(zhì)上加強(qiáng)了美國(guó)聯(lián)邦政府的權(quán)威;最后,在30年代資本主義世界經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)的背景下,同日本、德國(guó)為轉(zhuǎn)嫁危機(jī)而發(fā)動(dòng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的策略相比,“新政”無(wú)疑代表了一種進(jìn)步、民主的解救危機(jī)方式。持“過(guò)大于功論”者認(rèn)為“新政”未能使美國(guó)走出蕭條、步入繁榮。
教學(xué)目標(biāo):1、知識(shí)與能力:(1)識(shí)記:理性、啟蒙運(yùn)動(dòng);伏爾泰、孟德斯鳩、盧梭等偉大的啟蒙思想家及其主張;康德及啟蒙運(yùn)動(dòng)的影響;(2)理解啟蒙運(yùn)動(dòng)興起的背景,分析啟蒙思想的巨大影響;(3)認(rèn)識(shí)上層建筑對(duì)社會(huì)發(fā)展的巨大反作用。2、過(guò)程與方法:(1)指導(dǎo)學(xué)生用表格法掌握啟蒙運(yùn)動(dòng)主要代表人物及其思想主張;(2)運(yùn)用比較法加深對(duì)啟蒙思想家觀點(diǎn)共性和個(gè)性的認(rèn)識(shí)。(3)運(yùn)用比較法對(duì)比文藝復(fù)興和啟蒙運(yùn)動(dòng)的異同,說(shuō)明啟蒙運(yùn)動(dòng)對(duì)人文主義思想的發(fā)展。3、情感態(tài)度與價(jià)值觀:(1)通過(guò)本課的學(xué)習(xí),讓學(xué)生認(rèn)識(shí)到“一定的文化是一定社會(huì)的政治和經(jīng)濟(jì)在觀念上和形態(tài)上的反映”;(2)學(xué)習(xí)啟蒙思想家追求真理的精神,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生遠(yuǎn)大的理想與抱負(fù);(3)通過(guò)法國(guó)啟蒙思想產(chǎn)生的巨大影響的分析,使學(xué)生認(rèn)識(shí)意識(shí)形態(tài)對(duì)社會(huì)發(fā)展所起的重大作用,從而提高學(xué)習(xí)理論的自覺(jué)性。
三、第三階段。課后感悟與收獲1、讓學(xué)生以“走向?qū)W習(xí)型社會(huì)”為題,將在收集與整理、展示與交流兩個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)中獲得的體驗(yàn)和感悟,以心得體會(huì)的形式寫(xiě)一篇小論文。2、辦一期專(zhuān)欄或黑板報(bào),將優(yōu)秀小論文作集中展示與交流。(進(jìn)行理論總結(jié),將實(shí)踐與理論相結(jié)合,讓科學(xué)理論更好地指導(dǎo)實(shí)踐。充分挖掘?qū)W生潛力,增強(qiáng)學(xué)生的自信)[評(píng)析]新課程理念之一就是政治課不應(yīng)只局限于課堂上的教與學(xué)。把綜合探究課與研究性學(xué)習(xí)相結(jié)合,不失為一種有益的嘗試。傳統(tǒng)的學(xué)習(xí)方式把學(xué)習(xí)建立在客觀性、受動(dòng)性、依賴(lài)性的基礎(chǔ)上,把學(xué)生看成一個(gè)沒(méi)有感情的接受容器,這種學(xué)習(xí)會(huì)窒息學(xué)生的思維和智力,成為學(xué)生發(fā)展的障礙。單元探究活動(dòng)的開(kāi)展就是要轉(zhuǎn)變學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)方式,關(guān)注學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)程,使得探究過(guò)程成為學(xué)生發(fā)現(xiàn)問(wèn)題、提出問(wèn)題、分析問(wèn)題、解決問(wèn)題的過(guò)程,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的創(chuàng)新精神和實(shí)踐能力。本教案的第一階段充分發(fā)揮了學(xué)生的主動(dòng)性。
3、文化是人們的一種素養(yǎng)(1)人的文化素養(yǎng)是在社會(huì)生活、實(shí)踐中形成的。每個(gè)人所具有的文化素養(yǎng),不是天生的,而是通過(guò)對(duì)社會(huì)生活的體驗(yàn),特別是通過(guò)參與文化生活、接受知識(shí)文化教育而逐步培養(yǎng)出來(lái)的。文化素養(yǎng)的形成,離不開(kāi)生活、實(shí)踐和教育。人們?cè)谏鐣?huì)實(shí)踐中創(chuàng)造和發(fā)展文化,也在社會(huì)生活中獲得和享用文化。(2)人的文化素養(yǎng)表現(xiàn)在日常言行中。教師活動(dòng):引導(dǎo)學(xué)生閱讀教材7頁(yè)“公交車(chē)漫畫(huà)”材料,并思考所反映的問(wèn)題學(xué)生活動(dòng):積極思考并討論問(wèn)題教師點(diǎn)評(píng):人們的精神活動(dòng)離不開(kāi)物質(zhì)活動(dòng),人們的文化素養(yǎng)總是要通過(guò)他在日常生活中的言行、在社會(huì)實(shí)踐活動(dòng)中的表現(xiàn)等表現(xiàn)出來(lái)。我們通過(guò)觀察人們的社會(huì)行為,就可以從中透視人們的精神世界和精神生活。4、文化的傳承和發(fā)展離不開(kāi)物質(zhì)載體。社會(huì)文化和精神產(chǎn)品離不開(kāi)物質(zhì)載體,一個(gè)時(shí)代的文化和精神產(chǎn)品,往往是這一時(shí)代社會(huì)發(fā)展軌跡的反映。
另一方面,文化素質(zhì)影響公民政治權(quán)利的行使。隨著民主和法制建設(shè)的發(fā)展,人們?yōu)榱藚⑴c政治生活,需要更高的文化素養(yǎng)。文化水平提高了,人們受到的教育、接受的信息就越多,活動(dòng)的領(lǐng)域就越廣,民主法制和權(quán)利意識(shí)就越強(qiáng),這些都會(huì)影響人們的民主素質(zhì)和民主水平,使人們更好地進(jìn)行政治參與,行使民主權(quán)利。(2)文化與國(guó)際政治相互交融,成為當(dāng)代國(guó)際政治斗爭(zhēng)的重要內(nèi)容。隨著世界多極化的發(fā)展,奉行霸權(quán)主義的國(guó)家,借助文化滲透的方式,竭力推銷(xiāo)自己的價(jià)值觀念,企圖削弱和取代別國(guó)的民族文化,以推行強(qiáng)權(quán)政治。這使世界范圍內(nèi)反對(duì)文化霸權(quán)主義的斗爭(zhēng),成為當(dāng)代國(guó)際政治斗爭(zhēng)的重要內(nèi)容。文化已經(jīng)成為進(jìn)行政治斗爭(zhēng)、國(guó)際斗爭(zhēng)的重要形式之一。對(duì)文化市場(chǎng)的爭(zhēng)奪不僅僅是爭(zhēng)奪票房?jī)r(jià)值、爭(zhēng)奪經(jīng)濟(jì)效益,更主要的是對(duì)受眾對(duì)象的爭(zhēng)奪,對(duì)受眾注意力這種特殊的稀缺資源的占有,以及在此基礎(chǔ)上對(duì)輿論的控制與引導(dǎo)。因此,失去文化市場(chǎng)就意味著失去政治優(yōu)勢(shì),意味著政治影響力的邊緣化乃至萎縮或喪失。這一點(diǎn),從目前世界正在進(jìn)行的空前規(guī)模的“文化戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)”,可以看得非常清楚。
一、教材分析我們使用的是人教版第四冊(cè)《生活與哲學(xué)》教材,本框?qū)儆诘谒膯卧谑n第一框題。其內(nèi)容主要分兩目,第一目主要介紹價(jià)值的含義、人是社會(huì)一切財(cái)富的創(chuàng)造者、人的價(jià)值在于創(chuàng)造價(jià)值和對(duì)社會(huì)的責(zé)任和貢獻(xiàn),以及對(duì)一個(gè)人的評(píng)價(jià)主要看他的貢獻(xiàn)等內(nèi)容。第二目主要介紹價(jià)值觀的導(dǎo)向作用,內(nèi)容包括價(jià)值觀的含義、價(jià)值觀對(duì)人們認(rèn)識(shí)世界和改造世界的活動(dòng)具有導(dǎo)向作用以及對(duì)人生道路的選擇具有導(dǎo)向作用。二、教學(xué)目標(biāo)知識(shí)目標(biāo):1、識(shí)記價(jià)值和價(jià)值觀的基本含義;價(jià)值觀的導(dǎo)向作用。2、理解人的價(jià)值是什么?如何評(píng)價(jià)人的價(jià)值。3、運(yùn)用所學(xué)知識(shí)及相關(guān)哲學(xué)原理,分析物的價(jià)值和人的價(jià)值的 不同,從中加深對(duì)人的價(jià)值的理解評(píng)論分析為什么對(duì)一個(gè)人的評(píng)價(jià)要看他的貢獻(xiàn),而不是索取了多少。

This unit is about history and traditions. From the opening page, we can know that this unit will introduce the history and traditions around the world. As Marcus Garvey says “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots”, it is important for students to realize the importance and value of knowing the history and traditions and their further meanings.

By talking with a foreigner, the speakers introduce the historic attractions and their cultures. Part A is that William, a British student, who was going to visit the Confucius Temple and a Chinese student, Xiao Kong, who was going to the Confucius Temple to meet with the members of the research group, went together and exchanged their views on the Confucius Temple, Confucius, Confucius' descendants and Confucius' educational thoughts.
