Towards High-quality Teaching:On the Construction of Instructional Explanation Space from Knowledge to Understanding
The shift from knowledge to understanding is an essential feature of high-quality teaching in the new era.Instructional explanation covers the entire teaching process of teachers and the entire learning journey of students.It is the key element to guide individual students to realize the transition from knowledge acquisition to knowledge understanding.In classroom teaching,the construction of instructional explanation space can help teachers clarify the process of instructional explanation and improve the effectiveness of students'understanding.The space covers five logical elements:basic knowledge as a prerequisite,instructional explanation as a scaffold,normative principles as a constraint,self-interpretation as a condition,and meaningful understanding as an orientation,which interact and support each other.In order to convey the most valuable information to students to the greatest extent,teachers actively pay attention to students'prior knowledge and confirm the explanation conditions;teachers effectively provide students with instructional explanation and construct interpretation significance;teachers accurately diagnose students'understanding effect,adjust explanation strategies,helping students to establish knowledge connection in instructional explanation space,obtain deep meaning construction,and then promote the high-quality development of teaching.
