Features: Basic knowledge and fundamental abilities complement each other, known as "double foundation" (). When exam-oriented methods like "sea of questions," modeling, narrow and difficult questions, and rote memorization become popular and yield results, "double foundation" education is neglected. The severe consequence is the distortion of talent, with high scores but low competence and poor quality. To reverse this situation, the national education examination authorities have made tremendous efforts, and significant changes have emerged in the college entrance exams (Gaokao) and high school entrance exams, with a focus again on testing basic knowledge and fundamental abilities. Taking the 2004 Beijing Math Exam as an example, "innovation awareness and practical ability" accounts for 54 points, making up over one-third of the total score, with the Gaokao emphasizing ability development. However, the situation is serious. From exam results, this section has the highest score value among the five major sections but the lowest pass rate, with an average score of only 16 or 26 points. Developing innovation education and cultivating innovative talent has become urgent. This led to the National Education Science "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" major project research project Educational Development—An Integrated Study of Innovative Talent, and thus came this series of books Double Foundation Efficiency Handbook for Secondary School Innovation Education.
Transfer and Expansion: "Solving unfamiliar problems using learned or newly acquired knowledge" is a high-level manifestation of ability. To achieve this goal, one must grasp the essential elements of learning, which is the construction of disciplinary thinking. It serves as the bridge from knowledge to ability and is the pursuit of countless students. Extracting disciplinary knowledge, constructing disciplinary thinking, improving ability levels, enlightening students' wisdom, developing their potential, and gaining successful experiences are the key features of this series. This clear editorial philosophy is proposed based on the research findings of top experts in the country, giving it obvious advantages in both advancement and practicality over similar books. Another major feature of this series is the absence of practice questions, with all exercises accompanied by detailed explanations. From "topic analysis" to "thought organization" to "answer interpretation," it systematically guides students through each type of question, focusing on analyzing its patterns. Through this organization, students can quickly construct disciplinary thinking, making knowledge more structured, systematic, logical, and flexible, ultimately achieving the effect of "generalizing from one to all" and applying knowledge effortlessly. Additionally, to address common confusion, a special section titled "Common Misunderstandings in Thinking" is included, serving as a cautionary warning from the opposite side to help learners avoid detours in their thinking construction, accelerate learning speed, and improve efficiency.
