Features: The new curriculum reform provides a rare opportunity to improve teaching and enhance teaching quality, while also posing a series of urgent research topics for teachers. After entering the new curriculum experiment, teachers have conducted in-depth studies on the new "Curriculum Standards," shifted their thinking, and reformed traditional teaching models, resulting in a fresh and revitalized teaching landscape across various subjects. However, some teachers have found that implementing certain ideas proposed in the new curriculum is challenging. Particularly regarding the concepts of transforming students' learning methods and teachers' teaching methods, there is a lack of sufficient theoretical research and practical case studies for reference in practice. One of the major changes in this round of curriculum reform is the diversification and specification of teaching objectives. The new curriculum standards replace the traditional three levels and three objectives ("basic knowledge, basic abilities, and ideological education") with three levels and seven objectives ("knowledge and abilities, processes and methods, and emotional attitudes and values"). Among these, "processes and methods" has become a secondary teaching objective. The basic philosophy behind the formulation of this objective is clearly articulated in the new curriculum standards.
