国家版图意识教育是爱国主义教育的重要组成部分，加强国家版图意识教育是认识和处理我国与周边国家关系的需要、是正确认识和处理国际政治关系的需要、是维护社会稳定的现实需要。国家版图意识的培养是中学地理教学的重要使命，是地理教学不可推卸的责任。 通过对初中生国家版图意识现状的调查和对义务教育地理课程标准和教材的分析研究，可得出以下几点结论：1.初中生国家版图意识水平不高，初一处于较弱水平，初二处于一般水平；2.初中生国家版图意识状况存在着年级差异与性别差异，初二高于初一，男生高于女生；3.初中地理课程对初中生国家版图意识水平的提高起着重要作用；4.媒体宣传及其他学科中的国家版图意识教育对初中生国家版图意识水平的提高也起着积极的作用； 5.现行初中地理课程标准和地理教材中的国家版图意识教育内容不足且缺少相关概念的介绍；6.现实条件下，初中地理教师应首先通过多种途径提高自身的国家版图意识水平，然后通过挖掘地理教材中涉及国家版图意识教育的内容和搜集国家版图意识教学资源，运用专题式教学法和渗透式教学法进行国家版图意识教育，从而提高初中生的国家版图意识水平。
