Abstract

This study focuses on fostering model-construction thinking in geography teaching. By analyzing the core elements 
of model-construction thinking, this paper develops a three-dimensional structural model for junior high school geography and illustrates the thinking processes at each stage of model construction with diagrams. Taking the teaching of “Earth’s Rotation” as an example, the study proposes a series of targeted strategies and approaches for cultivating model-construction thinking.

Key words
