Features: This series of books has the following outstanding characteristics:
Authoritative Nature — Based on the curriculum standards for each subject issued by the Ministry of Education of China, and aligned with the new curriculum textbooks published by People's Education Press, Beijing Normal University Press, Jiangsu Education Press, and East China Normal University Press.
Novelty — The series is compiled according to the lesson standards for each grade of junior high school issued by the Ministry of Education of China, reflecting the new curriculum reform plan, the model of junior high school entrance examination reform, and the new approach to research-based learning. It emphasizes study method guidance. It reduces outdated questions, avoids selecting biased questions, carefully compiles flexible questions, and innovates new questions to inspire thinking methods. It combines the internationally popular "active and dynamic" layout for developing students' intelligence with China's teaching aid layout, which not only activates thinking but also aligns with the psychological age level of junior high school students.
Forward-Looking Nature — The series highlights the teaching requirements of the new curriculum standards, constructs a "student-centered learning and collaborative inquiry" teaching model, "creates an atmosphere that students can easily accept," connects curriculum content with students' lives and the development of modern society, and emphasizes cultivating students' thinking processes and methods, as well as their abilities to collect and process information, acquire new knowledge, analyze and solve problems, and communicate and cooperate.
Practicality — The content is closely matched with the textbooks. It includes insightful analyses by teachers, knowledge summaries and study method suggestions for independent learning, as well as problem-solving techniques to analyze the thinking barriers of "flexible questions." There are carefully selected and compiled tiered exercises after each lesson; a summary and ability test at the end of each unit; and mid-term and final tests for phased assessments. These are designed for students to use in synchronization with the textbooks and are highly operational.
Scientific Nature — The series has a scientifically designed format, fully reflecting the learning philosophy of the new curriculum standards. It emphasizes constructing a "contextualized" and "lifelike" teaching atmosphere, and stresses the learning modes of "autonomy," "inquiry," "practice," and "interest."
