Actual situation of organizing experiential activities in teaching 7th grade Geography at secondary schools in region 1 in Thu Duc, Ho Chi Minh City

Abstract

Abstract: Experiential activity is an activity in which students directly practice in school or society under the guidance and organization of teachers and educators. This activity develops emotions, morals, skills and accumulates personal experiences. However, at present, when organizing experimental activities, teachers almost only teach theory, practical activities have not been implemented much due to lack of time, difficulties in funding, facilities... Therefore, the providing and supplementing knowledge for students is still limited. In response to the practical requirements of educational innovation and local practice, it is required that Geography teachers in high schools must have new capabilities to integrate and organize outdoor activities for students. At the same time, students themselves also need to be trained in thinking and problem-solving skills to be able to adapt to the changes of reality.
