Abstract

The Compulsory Education Geography Curriculum Standards (Routine Revision, 2022 Edition, 2025 Revision) explicitly identifies Geography Praxis as one of the four Key Competences and a crucial vehicle for the curriculum’s educational value. The Shanghai Science & Technology Press Edition geography textbooks provide essential support for cultivating Geography Praxis through systematically designed practical activity sections. Through structural analysis of the textbook’s activity system and its educational functions, the Geography Praxis cultivation activities in Geography, Grade 7, Volume 2 are categorized into three types: Project-Based Learning, Simulation and Inquiry, and Hands-On Production. By deconstructing the alignment between these activities and elements of Geography Praxis (e.g., fi eld investigation skills, tool application skills, outcome transformation skills), targeted teaching strategies are proposed to optimize instructional design for practical activities.
