Features: This year, Yanbian Education Press invited renowned curriculum theory experts, educational evaluation reform experts, new curriculum research personnel, and national experimental area teaching staff to jointly compile "Textbook Analysis and Practice" to complement the new curriculum standards textbooks. This series emphasizes "New Curriculum Standards, New Classrooms, New Concepts," no longer overly focusing on knowledge transmission but instead highlighting the formation and establishment of correct values while students acquire knowledge and skills. This series has the following outstanding features:
Authority – Based on the curriculum standards for each subject issued by the Ministry of Education of China, and using textbooks published by People's Education Press, Beijing Normal University Press, Jiangsu Education Press, Shandong Education Press, East China Normal University Press, Shanghai Science and Technology Press, and Chinese Language Press as the standard.
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, combining the internationally popular "active dynamic" layout for developing students' intelligence with China's teaching aid layout. It activates thinking while aligning with the psychological age level of junior high school students, reflecting the new curriculum reform plan, the new junior high school entrance examination reform model, and the new research-based learning approach, with a focus on learning methods. It reduces outdated questions, avoids biased questions, carefully selects flexible questions, and innovates new questions to inspire thinking methods.
Forward-Thinking – The series highlights the teaching requirements of the new curriculum standards, constructing a "active learning, cooperative inquiry" teaching model. It "creates an atmosphere that students can easily accept" and connects curriculum content with students' lives and the development of modern society. It emphasizes cultivating students' thinking processes and methods, as well as their ability 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 analysis by teachers, knowledge summaries and learning suggestions for independent study, as well as problem-solving techniques for analyzing "flexible questions" and overcoming thinking barriers. After each lesson, there are carefully selected, well-structured, and highly targeted tiered exercises. Each unit includes a summary and ability test, while mid-term and final exams provide periodic assessments, making it convenient for students to use in synchronization with the textbooks and highly operational.
Scientificity – The series features a scientifically designed layout, 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." Taking mathematics as an example, the layout features are as follows:
1. Problem Perception · Contextual Entry: Through solving real-life problems, students are unintentionally immersed in the context, sparking learning interest.
2. Independent Learning · Knowledge Refinement: Guiding students to derive general knowledge and conclusions from specific events.
3. Exploration Examples · Potential Development: Using questions as examples to help students clarify their thinking and grasp key points.
4. Fun Math · Life Connection: Letting students experience the joy of mathematical logical thinking.
5. Tiered Exercises · Ability Upgrade: Based on curriculum standards, tiered exercises are designed to train students' basic memorization, comprehension, problem-solving, and flexible application of knowledge.
