Features: Is subject teaching "textbook-centered" or "standard-centered"? How can teaching design avoid the awkwardness of "new bottle, old wine"? How should we view the "main body" role in classroom teaching? How can we leverage the "leading" role of teaching? What is a "good classroom teaching"? How should "classroom teaching" be evaluated? Is our teaching an integrated classroom based on educational technology, or a performance of technology and instrumentalism? The author team, composed of core members who participated in the national curriculum standard research and frontline teachers engaged in curriculum and textbook experiments, jointly presents research findings on the dynamics and issues of international and domestic subject curriculum development over the years. They reflect on the problems encountered in subject curriculum and teaching under the context of curriculum reform, seeking appropriate curriculum measures and teaching strategies based on the actual needs of subjects.
