初中地理定向越野活动与体育竞赛的开展方法存在差异，它不追求高强度的竞技性，而是借助其“任务驱动—情境探究”的特点，致力于培养学生的创新精神、问题解决能力、合作意识与实践能力等。开展初中地理定向越野活动，目的不是“竞速”而是“育人”，活动评价需要捕捉内隐的高阶思维与社会情感，因此适合采用表现性评价。开展初中地理定向越野活动表现性评价，需先厘清“评什么”，评价目标指向地理课程核心素养；再设计“怎么评”，以评价任务驱动学习，用评分规则衡量表现；最后落实“如何用”，把评价结果转化为学生成长的动力源。

The implementation methods of junior high school geography orienteering activities diff er from those of sports competitions. Rather than pursuing high-intensity competition, it leverages its "task-driven—contextual inquiry" characteristics to cultivate students' innovative spirit, problem-solving abilities, teamwork awareness, and practical skills. The purpose of organizing junior high school geography orienteering activities is not "speed competition" but "educational development." Activity evaluation must capture implicit higher-order thinking and social-emotional skills, making performance-based assessment suitable. To implement performance-based assessment for junior high school geography orienteering activities, one must fi rst clarify "what to evaluate," with assessment objectives targeting the core competencies of geography education; then design "how to evaluate," using assessment tasks to drive learning and employing scoring rules to measure performance; and fi nally implement "how to apply," transforming evaluation results into a driving force for student growth.
