Features: The > symbol issued in 2001 and the > symbol promulgated in 2003 both explicitly proposed the concept of utilizing and developing curriculum resources. The essence of this concept is to leverage all available resources to serve our educational and teaching endeavors. From the perspective of openness and sustainable development, this concept represents a significant advancement compared to the original teaching requirements and models. For educators, it means placing our service recipients in a broader context, as if adding more windows to the classroom to let in more sunlight, provide fresher and more natural air for students. For learners, it means enabling them to see the blue sky even while staring at the teacher's chalk dust, helping them recognize the environment early on, and shifting their focus from textbooks to the broader society and life. Without a doubt, abundant educational and teaching resources are a vital "living source" for inquiry-based and research-based learning. Before embarking on the compilation of this series, we had already experienced the immense benefits of utilizing and developing teaching resources for our work. Faced with a variety of newspapers and magazines, the bustling internet, rich library resources, and diverse teaching software and courseware, we felt we were not alone, and our textbooks no longer seemed dry. Instead, we found our teaching lives filled with vitality, enthusiasm, joy, and challenges. Especially when we integrate the resources we possess with those of our students and witness the spark of synergy, a sense of accomplishment and happiness arises. The vibrancy of our lives depends on our perspective toward them. When we broaden our horizons, we gain much and experience fulfillment and abundance. A desire to share our joy with others motivates us to begin compiling this series. The entire series is divided into eight volumes: Language, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, History, Geography, and Biology. Each volume consists of three main parts.
Part 1: An introduction to the curriculum itself and a brief interpretation of the new curriculum standards;
Part 2: A concise overview of curriculum content and related knowledge, along with relevant resources;
Part 3: An index of reference books, websites, books, audio-visual materials, and other resources, as well as commonly used related data.
The concept of curriculum resources is very broad, and the resources discussed in our "resource library" represent only a small part of it. We hope this series can serve as a catalyst, encouraging everyone to contribute to the collection and organization of teaching resources, enriching our educational resources, and transforming our environment. By leveraging the curriculum itself as the driving force, we aim to accelerate the decline of exam-oriented education.
This series references a large number of book titles, audio-visual products, websites, and other resources. Due to time constraints, limited experience, and varying sources, errors and omissions are inevitable. We kindly ask relevant organizations for their understanding and corrections.
Teaching resources are updated rapidly, so this series will be regularly revised. We welcome your suggestions and feedback, and we would be very grateful.
