Features: Research-based learning has been implemented in China for some time. What impact does it have on students' progress and growth, and how does it affect the improvement of their qualities? This is a question of great concern to educators. Since the autumn of 2000, Tianjin Experimental High School has officially launched research-based learning courses and independently undertaken the sub-project of the Ministry of Education's "Tenth Five-Year Plan" key research topic—Research-Based Learning and Student Development. The school employs various research methods, including teachers documenting students' progress and growth through observation records, administering surveys to all students, conducting FAT tests for all students, and having students write reflective essays on their own experiences with research-based learning. These methods provide a concrete, vivid, and compelling answer to the impact and role of research-based learning on student development. This book is a record of Tianjin Experimental High School's implementation of research-based learning and its research on the topic.
