The teacher-centered classroom is transforming into a student-centered one; students' learning methods are evolving, shifting from passive receptive learning to autonomous exploratory learning; evaluation requirements are changing, moving from single paper-and-pencil tests to diversified assessment methods; and the concept of exam question-setting is also shifting, moving from knowledge-based to ability-based. The criteria for teachers and students selecting teaching aids are also changing, focusing on both form and content, practicality and specificity.
