What are the overall changes in the ministry-edited Chinese textbooks?

1. The teaching materials convey new concepts

Pay attention to reading, pay attention to the development of thinking, and guide parents and teachers in subtle ways. This is the concept conveyed by the new teaching materials.

2. The depth of the teaching materials is reflected in the development of thinking

Starting from the first lesson "Middle School Era", the arrangement and design of the new teaching materials reflect the learning guidance of specific methods and skills. Design an open teaching process and comprehensively use methods such as role-playing, discussion and analysis, reflection and inquiry, so that students can express themselves actively, be good at thinking, acquire methods, and practice hard.

Evolution of the textbook system:

The development of textbooks with “one outline and multiple editions” and “multiple outlines and multiple editions” can be traced back to the reform Early opening period. At that time, the Ministry of Education formulated unified teaching materials, and local teaching materials were beginning to bloom. Chinese courses had just resumed their independent setting.

In 1985, under the guidance of the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Reform of the Education System", we began to reform educational content and methods that were not compatible with socialist modernization. The following year, the National Primary and Secondary School Textbook Approval Committee was established to reform the unified teaching material system, which meant diversifying teaching materials under the premise of unified requirements and approval.

In 1991, two sets of teaching materials for the nine-year compulsory education, the "May 4th System" and the "63rd System", were produced by the People's Education Press. After it was put into use in 1993, teaching materials published by Guangdong, Sichuan, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Beijing Normal University were submitted for review and entered classrooms everywhere. In 1999, a new round of basic education curriculum reform was launched, and a competition mechanism for textbooks was introduced. Local textbooks and school-based textbooks suitable for local development were developed in various regions.

In the fall semester of 2000, new Chinese teaching materials appeared in primary and secondary schools across the country, and the "Chinese Teaching Syllabus (Revised Edition)" was officially implemented at the same time. It has set higher requirements for the teaching of ancient poetry and emphasized Cultivate students' self-learning ability, writing and expression skills.

In the new local textbooks used in Beijing in 2007, the titles of Lu Xun's articles were adjusted, and famous articles such as "The True Story of Ah Q" and "In Memory of Mr. Liu Hezhen" were abandoned in favor of " Sword Forging". In addition, content from Jin Yong's novels has also been added.

Under the guidance of the "National Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan (2010-2020)", the Ministry of Education once again organized experts to revise and improve the curriculum standards for various subjects in compulsory education, and issued compulsory education Chinese Curriculum Standards for Other Subjects (2011 Edition).

In this new Chinese language curriculum standard, which was implemented in the fall of 2012, the requirements for primary school students to be able to write Chinese characters have been reduced, but the number of articles that need to be memorized has been increased.

This time, Geng Yumiao specifically looked at the literacy part first. “The first volume of the first grade requires students to recognize 300 characters, but they are only required to be able to write 100 of them. This highlights the need to recognize more and less. "Write." This is in line with her understanding of children's age and psychological characteristics. "Children around 6 years old have not very developed muscle groups in their hands. It is very troublesome for them to write, but they can read very quickly."

On the day when textbooks were distributed to new students, Geng Yumiao remembered that children were more easily attracted to illustrations and large characters, which made it easier for them to concentrate. “The illustrations have changed a lot. They are quite cute and more in line with children’s tastes.” The painting style also incorporates some content from the textbooks of the Republic of China."

The proportion of ancient poems and articles is still increased, with 129 articles in primary school textbooks and 132 articles in junior high schools. The Teaching Materials Bureau of the Ministry of Education responded to "China News Weekly" and stated that this is based on the principle of strengthening the education of excellent traditional Chinese culture, "Let children have more exposure to ancient poetry and prose, and receive more influence from excellent traditional culture during the period when their memory is strongest;

Then select ancient poems. The ancient poems recommended in the Chinese curriculum standards are all popular classics. They include poems praising the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, as well as famous poems reflecting love for the motherland and active progress. It needs to be passed down by us."

Based on the dual-line selection requirements of "humanistic spirit" and "linguistic elements", the writing team included Lu Xun's "Mr. Fujino", "Hometown" and "Confucius" this time. "Yi Ji"; Zhu Ziqing's "Spring" and "Back View"; Lao She's "Winter in Jinan" and other articles take into account both classic and contemporary characteristics.

Overall, the number of texts has been reduced, but extracurricular derivative reading has been increased. For example, new columns such as "Reading with Adults" have been added to the primary school level, and a certain amount of self-reading texts and guided readings of classics have been set up in junior high schools.
