ABSTRACT

Using games to teach is an interesting and worthwhile practice; however, the couplet game has not been described before. In this study, first-year students played a couplet game with their teacher at the end of the course. Each student was asked to summarize and write individual opinions on human geography in one keyword; then, the teacher wrote the corresponding or matching keywords. Analyzing the correspondences and the contrasts between couples of words, the students showed an improved understanding of human geography. The results suggested that the couplet game elicited students’ creative and independent thinking. This method can also be applied to other fields.

摘要

使用游戏进行教学是一项有趣且有价值的实践；然而，对联游戏之前并没有被描述过。在这项研究中，一年级学生在课程结束时与他们的老师玩对联游戏。每个学生被要求用一个关键词总结和写出个人对人文地理的看法；然后，老师写出相应或匹配的关键词。通过分析单词之间的对应关系和对比，学生们对人文地理的理解有所提高。结果表明，对联游戏激发了学生的创造性和独立思考能力。这种方法也可以应用于其他领域。
