Policy

As an important direction of educational innovation, the implementation of large-scale unit teaching can be traced back to the evolution of educational policies in recent years. In particular, the Compulsory Education Curriculum Plan (2022 Edition) proposed to deepen teaching reform, emphasizing "exploring large-scale unit teaching" and promoting "the integration of teaching, learning and assessment", which provides strong policy support for the implementation of large-scale unit teaching. It marks the education department's emphasis on the innovation of teaching models, aiming to promote the all-round development of students' core competencies through large-scale unit teaching.

The implementation of large-scale unit teaching was initiated by the national education department, aiming to respond to the transformation of educational goals in the new era and adapt to the rapidly changing trends of social and technological development. The evolution from "two basic points" to "three-dimensional goals" and then to "core competencies of the curriculum" reflects the nation's firm determination to improve the quality of education. This reform is not only an update of teaching content, but also a comprehensive innovation of teaching methods and evaluation systems.

Concept

The core value of large-scale unit teaching lies in integrating fragmented knowledge, constructing a systematic learning path, and promoting students' in - depth learning and all - round development. Guided by big concepts, big tasks, and big situations, students are encouraged to explore, cooperate, and reflect in real - life learning situations, thus realizing the organic integration of knowledge and abilities.

Large-scale unit teaching is a structured teaching model, and its definitional connotations are mainly reflected in the following four aspects:

Content Integration

Large-scale unit teaching emphasizes integrating learning situations, learning contents, learning methods and learning resources, and designing practical activities based on big tasks, big units and real situations.

Structured Knowledge

Through reconstructing traditional teaching's goals, contents, and procedures, value reconstruction is achieved. It integrates learner experience, course-content structuring, teaching-procedure reversibility, and life-oriented learning outcomes.

Goal and Competency Orientation

Large-scale unit teaching is oriented towards cultivating students' core competencies. Through the teaching of big concepts, the course contents are structured. Guided by themes, the course contents are contextualized to promote the implementation of disciplinary core competencies.

Changes in Learning and Evaluation Methods

Students are encouraged to actively explore, cooperate and communicate for better learning efficiency. Emphasis is on setting evaluation criteria based on unit goals to achieve the integration of teaching, learning and evaluation, promoting the development of students' core competencies.
