In the practice of the second-phase curriculum reform, teachers often like to "wear new shoes and take the old road" in theoretical transformation, and can't relax and boldly try new teaching models. Teaching activities have the influence of comprehensive education.

Young teachers' pursuit of their profession is not clear, which is greatly influenced by market society. They are emotionally unstable and impetuous, so they need to strengthen their political and ideological construction.
