乡土地理是现行中学地理教学大纲所规定的地理教学内容的重要组成部分，旨在向学生进行了解家乡、热爱家乡、立志建设家乡的思想教育，是中学地理教学中的重要内容。现行课程标准已经阐明了乡土资源在地理教学中的地位和作用。针对西藏地区的中学地理教学，开展本土教学资源的研究，更具有重要的现实意义。利用乡土资源来进行教学，让学习联系实际，让生活走进学习，应当是藏区中学生克服学习障碍的有效途径。因此，将乡土资源应用于地理课堂教学中，对于西藏地区的中学生而言，有可能帮助学生联系实际，深入理解国定教科书的内容。 本研究探讨藏区乡土资源在中学地理教学中的使用问题，以求提高藏区地理课堂的教学效率和学习成绩提高。本研究试图扎根于西藏地区的乡土资源，探讨在教学当中使用乡土资源的方法，通过问卷调查和访谈等方法，检测课堂中使用乡土资源情况，总结藏区中使用乡土资源的利弊。论文共六个章节，分别从乡土资源研究的背景和研究状况、乡土资源的界定、西藏常用的乡土资源、乡土资源在教学中的应用实例、乡土资源应用的调查、藏区中学运用乡土资源开展地理教学的反思和展望等方面进行讨论，对新课程背景下如何在藏区中学中应用乡土资源应用开展地理教学进行了探索与研究。论文认为，应用乡土资源对藏区中学的地理教育具有积极意义，同时对教师提出了更高的要求。
