The arrangement of this case collection is not simply a listing of cases, but rather starts from the organizational threads of thematic comprehensive practical activities, types of themes, and activity methods, selecting representative cases. From the perspective of organizational threads, these cases involve domains such as humans and society, humans and nature, and humans and self, ensuring equal attention and importance to the natural, social, and self dimensions. Themes in the self domain, such as life management, which have greater life significance and value, are thoroughly explored.
From the description of the activity processes, the case descriptions provide a detailed account of the educational guidance methods used in the activities, exhibiting the following characteristics:
1. The activity content is closely linked to students' actual lives. The activities are students' lives, reflecting their exploration and experience within their own life worlds.
2. The activity methods reflect practicality. They showcase students' social participation, active inquiry, experience, hands-on learning, and other practical activities.
3. The presentation of the activity processes is diverse. When presenting the activity processes, it strives to include the materials collected by students during the activities and employs a variety of presentation methods.
4. The activity processes focus on the generative nature and student experiences. They highlight students' firsthand engagement and practice, where new themes are continuously discovered and generated in the process. Students develop preliminary skills and learn to reflect through their experiences.
Thus, the aim is to provide reference material for teachers in designing thematic comprehensive practical activities.
