The Review and Prospect of Geography Learning Progression Research in China
Learning progressions can clarify students'developmental pathways with the standpoint of promoting an understanding of core concepts and cultivating core competencies.This provides valuable benchmarks for curriculum design,effective teaching,and student self-monitoring.This research analyzes 104 papers on geography learning progressions in China,with the following key findings:(1)Research interest has been rising in recent years,covering a broad range of educational stages,with a notable focus on cross-stage research;(2)A common research trajectory has emerged,involving the construction of progression frameworks,development of assessment tools,investigation of progression status,and implementation of teaching plans;(3)Research topics are categorized into four types,namely,"core concepts","core competencies","other",and"teaching practice of learning progressions".However,the effective integration between progression frameworks and teaching practices requires further exploration.Based on these insights,this paper suggests key areas for future research,and provides an outlook on the direction of future studies.
