Features: The new curriculum focuses on awakening, developing, and enhancing students' potential to promote their independent development; it emphasizes students' holistic growth, fostering harmonious development in cognition, emotions, attitudes, and skills; it pays attention to students' unique needs in their life world to promote their distinctive development; and it focuses on students' lifelong learning aspirations and the formation of their learning abilities to promote sustainable development. Ultimately, this current experimental textbook series for compulsory education, developed according to the Full-time Compulsory Education Curriculum Standards formulated by the Ministry of Education, places even greater emphasis on quality education. How to implement quality education in classroom teaching and truly improve students' qualities through education is an issue of concern and exploration for the entire education sector and society.
Facing the new curriculum, we must learn to adopt new learning methods—autonomous learning, collaborative learning, and inquiry-based learning. To this end, we have organized renowned curriculum developers and frontline senior and advanced teachers from key secondary schools to write this series of books based on the new textbook. The books strive to integrate these three learning methods as much as possible.
This series breaks away from the outdated appearance of traditional synchronous teaching aids, combining synchronous teaching with the requirements of the new junior high school entrance examination. While focusing on mastering basic knowledge through synchronous learning, it emphasizes guidance in thinking methods and places greater emphasis on cultivating students' abilities to analyze and solve problems.
The content and chapter structure of the series are fully aligned with the new textbook and strictly synchronized with the lessons. Carefully selected unit section exercises and unit ability tests are included, with moderate difficulty. Together with midterm and final exams, they form a three-tier testing system that adheres to the principles of quality education, allowing students to conduct time-efficient and comprehensive training from multiple perspectives, truly achieving the goal of improving overall quality.
