Features: "Since ancient times, the education of schools has been most complete in China." With a long-standing tradition, Chinese education is undergoing profound and unprecedented changes. Currently, the tide of basic education curriculum reform is sweeping the country rapidly. The significant and far-reaching impact it has caused, as well as the changes of global significance it has brought, have already spread across the vast land of our motherland. For whom is our education? Where is its ultimate goal? "Everything for the development of every student" is the highest purpose and core concept of the basic education curriculum reform. Therefore, this transformation is first a challenge to traditional educational ideas. In traditional education, students are essentially passive recipients of knowledge. Whether they learn happily or unhappily, whether they live happily or unhappily, whether they find joy in learning, whether their experiences and insights are fully mobilized, and whether their potential is fully tapped—few people care about or study them. The book covers both macro and micro aspects, such as concept transformation, management strategies, school-based development, curriculum culture, as well as teacher training, classroom teaching, evaluation reform, and school-based curriculum, encompassing all aspects of the new curriculum reform.
