Features: "100 Cases of Inquiry-Based Curriculum in Primary Schools" is quite distinctive. It does not deliberately pursue logical rigor in structure but focuses more on how to solve problems during practical implementation. The design is divided into five major modules, akin to constructing a large house, which are: "Understanding Inquiry-Based Curriculum, Designing Inquiry-Based Curriculum Programs, Implementing Inquiry-Based Curriculum, Evaluating Inquiry-Based Curriculum, and Managing the Implementation of Inquiry-Based Curriculum." The content of each module is linked by numerous key questions, similar to the various rooms in the house. Within each question, different perspectives (sub-questions) are used to explain, just like the different furniture arrangements in each room. When discussing each sub-question, case studies are used to provide continuity, interspersed with appropriate hints, comments, discussions, and reflections. It offers a context for experience and insight, making the reading process engaging and not monotonous. Since many of the cases are highly enlightening, readers will reflect deeply after reading them. When they grasp the essence but struggle to articulate it clearly, the author provides clarifications, creating a sense of excitement and sudden enlightenment. Such a popular, clear, and internationally recognized writing style expands the book's readership implicitly. It can serve as both a training manual for teachers and a learning resource for students.
