Features: Is subject teaching based on textbooks or standards? How can teaching design avoid the awkwardness of "new bottles for old wine"? How should we view the main role of the classroom? How can we leverage the leading role of teaching? What constitutes good classroom teaching? How should classroom teaching be evaluated? Is our teaching an integrated curriculum based on educational technology, or is it a performance of technological supremacy and instrumentalism? The author team, composed of core members who participated in the development of national curriculum standards 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 courses and teaching under the context of curriculum reform, seeking suitable curriculum measures and teaching strategies based on the realities of the subject.
