  • 小学生基础语感在阅读教学中的分学段培养与评价

    小学生基础语感在阅读教学中的分学段培养与评价

    语感是在理解和表达过程中,对言语对象进行直觉建构的一种言语能力,其心理表征是一个开放的图式与产生式的复合体。基础语感本质上也是一种语感,不同在于它是基于小学生心理发展水平、文化积累和生活体验的,侧重于理解与表达字、词、句、段、篇等基本言语对象的基础言语能力。小学语文教学应注重分学段来培养学生的基础语感。在小学阅读教学中分学段培养与评价基础语感,应始于培养目标的制定,然后根据目标的教学心理学分类来导学、导教、导测量。在测量与评价基础语感时,还应着眼于学生发展,结合具体语境从外显表现与内隐理解两方面进行整体的、多样化的评价。
