In recent years, the school has continuously strengthened exchanges and cooperation with other provinces and internationally, establishing 4 new branches. Over the years, the school has taken "developing individual strengths, promoting comprehensive development, and laying a foundation for lifelong learning" as its educational philosophy, actively implementing quality education with remarkable results. Through long-term educational practice, Qidong High School has gradually formed a distinctive educational style: "putting people first, prioritizing moral education, solidifying foundations, and fostering individuality"; a guiding principle: "everything for the students, for all students, and for the sake of all students"; and a magical formula: "scientific education and research-driven school development." The school is advancing along the educational approach of "comprehensive education and cultivating specialized talents," making steady progress and further enhancing its reputation. A group of outstanding teachers and subject leaders at Qidong High School, in addition to their teaching duties, diligently strengthen educational research and the study of middle and high school examination questions, establishing their own question bank and achieving excellent teaching results. To sincerely express gratitude to sister schools across the country and meet the wishes of teachers and students, at the kind invitation of the renowned and authoritative scientific publisher (Longmen Bookstore), our school has organized dozens of senior and advanced-level teachers and gold-medal coaches from the frontline of teaching. Combining years of teaching experience, especially since the "3X" new college entrance examination reform and the new curriculum reform, we have meticulously planned and compiled this scientific and practical "Qidong High School Homework Series." This is the first formal collaboration between Qidong High School and a national-level publisher, and we have specially authorized Longmen Bookstore to exclusively use our registered "Qidong High School" trademark for publication. The "Qidong High School Homework Series" jointly launched by Qidong High School and Longmen Bookstore reflects our school's teaching practices and experience in nurturing top students and addressing learning gaps. It is pure and authentic, and we believe it will be highly favored by readers.
This edition of the "Qidong High School Homework Series" has been carefully revised. The revision is based on the new "Teaching Syllabus," "Examination Guidelines," and "New Curriculum Standards." The design of the series incorporates innovation, including sub-sections such as [Preview Homework], [Classroom Homework], [After-Class Homework], and [Innovative Homework]. The revision also boldly innovates in the creation of homework questions, reflecting a fresh sense of the times, with new content structures, scenarios, question formats, and open-ended explorations, aiming to embody the trends of the new round of curriculum, teaching, and examination reforms. It is more suitable for regions, schools, and students of different levels. It not only solidifies foundational knowledge but also enhances learning and exam-taking skills. During the revision, the following guiding principles and features have been fully highlighted:
1. Hierarchical and Progressive Question Structure: The questions are carefully designed to cater to the teaching realities of underdeveloped regions in central and western China and the diverse needs of teachers and students regarding "questions." Each question is labeled with hollow letters (A, B, C) at the beginning to indicate its approximate difficulty level, facilitating differentiated instruction and improving the efficiency of homework practice.
2. Practical and Effective Lesson-Based Design: The greatest difference from traditional teaching aids lies in designing homework based on teaching periods, making it synchronously usable in the classroom. It is practical, effective, and highly operable. It integrates thinking into practice, focusing on solving the problems of "what to practice" and "how to practice" for each teaching period.
3. Detailed and Standardized Explanations: The answers are thoroughly analyzed and explained, highlighting key knowledge points and basic methods, and striving to teach problem-solving techniques. It focuses on solving "how to do" and "how to think" about doing it," making it widely applicable. Additionally, each homework assignment is marked with a time limit and scoring criteria, allowing students to practice independently ("teaching themselves without a teacher"), thereby more effectively improving the quality of their practice. Thus, this series can also be considered a student ability test.
4. Innovative and Extraordinary Educational Philosophy: The revision fully reflects the requirements of the new round of teaching and curriculum reforms, embodying the educational philosophy and concepts of the new curriculum. It showcases extraordinary thinking. The selection of questions follows the principle of "originality and classics," with a focus on strengthening the development and research of "ability-based, open-ended, applied, and comprehensive" questions. Each subject's homework series includes a certain number of newly created original questions by the authors.
From the perspective of the "three exams" (syllabus, key points, and questions) as a guide, and through the guidance and analysis of question-solving methods and techniques, this "Qidong High School Homework Series" is an excellent supplementary material for students in junior and senior high school, serving as a guide for learning, practice, and exams.
During the writing and revision of this series, despite our careful review and attention to every detail over several months, some errors and omissions may still exist. We sincerely welcome feedback from readers to help us correct them promptly.
