地理因果逻辑链作为培养地理学科核心素养的关键思维路径，对促进知识结构的完善和综合思维的培养具有重要意义。本研究分析了地理因果逻辑链的内涵，提出以因果枢纽（R）作为锚点，按照“逐层溯源、逐级延伸”的原则构建因果逻辑链模型。基于因果逻辑链的复杂嵌套性、因果相对性、动态过程性和系统综合性四大特征，本研究以人教版高中地理选择性必修三“自然资源及其利用”章节为例，设计了“明确尺度—分析要素—扩充链条—检验严谨”的因果逻辑链构建路径。研究表明，地理因果逻辑链能有效帮助学生整合零散知识结构、提升逻辑推理能力，为优化教师教学过程、落实核心素养培育提供重要抓手。

The geographical causal logic chain serves as a foundational cognitive framework for cultivating discipline-specifi c core competencies in geography education. Its systematic application signifi cantly enhances students’structural knowledge integration and holistic analytical reasoning. This study clarifies the conceptual underpinnings of the geographical causal logic chain and proposes a structured modeling approach anchored on the causal hub (R), guided by the dual principles of backward tracing and forward extension. Drawing upon four defining attributes—complex hierarchical nesting, contextdependent causality, temporal-spatial dynamism, and systemic comprehensiveness—we operationalize this framework through a case analysis of the“Natural Resources and Their Utilization”unit in the People’s Education Press Senior High School Geography Elective Course III. Constructive pathway is developed: (1) scale clarifi cation, (2) elemental analysis, (3) chain expansion, and (4) rigorous validation. Empirical insights indicate that this methodology enables learners to synthesize fragmented geographical knowledge into coherent causal narratives, thereby strengthening logical reasoning capacity. Moreover, it off ers educators a theoretically grounded, pedagogically actionable strategy for curriculum implementation and core competency development.
