Features: The new curriculum focuses on awakening, developing, and enhancing students' potential to promote their autonomous development; emphasizes students' holistic growth, fostering harmonious development in cognition, emotions, attitudes, and skills; pays attention to students' life world and unique needs to promote distinctive development; and addresses students' lifelong learning aspirations and the formation of their abilities to support sustainable development. Ultimately, the current experimental textbooks for compulsory education, based on the "Full-Time Compulsory Education Curriculum Standards" formulated by the Ministry of Education, place greater emphasis on quality-oriented education. How to implement quality-oriented education in classroom teaching and truly improve students' qualities through education is a question of concern and exploration for the entire education sector and society.
Facing the new curriculum, we must learn to adopt new learning methods—autonomous learning, collaborative learning, and inquiry-based learning. To this end, we have organized renowned curriculum developers and frontline senior and advanced teachers from key secondary schools across the country to write this series of books based on the new textbook. The books strive to integrate the three learning methods mentioned above.
This series breaks away from the outdated appearance of traditional synchronous teaching aids, combining synchronous teaching with the requirements of the new junior high school entrance examination. While focusing on mastering basic knowledge, it emphasizes guidance in thinking methods and, more importantly, cultivates students' abilities to analyze and solve problems. The content and chapter structure of the series are fully aligned with the new textbook, strictly synchronized with lessons, and carefully selected unit section exercises and unit (chapter-end) learning assessments are included. These exercises, with moderate difficulty, together with mid-term and final exam questions, form a three-tier testing system that adheres to the principles of quality-oriented education. This allows students to conduct time-efficient and comprehensive training from multiple perspectives, truly achieving the goal of improving overall quality.
