Features: During interactions with primary and secondary school teachers, the author discovered that many teachers struggle to understand articles with theoretical depth, a primary reason being their unfamiliarity with certain concepts and terminology, which become obstacles to their reading. The author hopes that their efforts can help clear these obstacles for a broad readership of teachers and contribute to enriching and elevating their intellectual cultivation. Just as a rich vocabulary enriches the mind, a rich conceptual framework enriches knowledge and thought, because concepts are the knots that form the web of thought. Concepts are both the fruits of a thinker's labor and the basis of our thinking. This book resembles a reference tool akin to a dictionary. The author has collected and defined concepts and terminology from the field of education. In the process of compiling and organizing these entries, the author has removed those with rigid thinking and strong ideological biases, providing new interpretations for these terms. From the selection of entries to their definitions, the book reflects the author's ideals, beliefs, interpretations, and pursuits regarding society and education. The book is information-rich, offering primary and secondary school teachers abundant intellectual resources that greatly aid in further enriching and elevating their scholarly cultivation.
