The teaching content keeps pace with the times.
Q: Will the new senior high school curriculum introduce some college courses into senior high schools, and can senior high school students accept these contents?
A: There are three characteristics in the selection and compilation of the new curriculum: fundamentality, modernity and selectivity. It can be seen that the main content of high school curriculum is still based on basic knowledge and basic skills. However, the teaching content of senior high school can't always stay at the level of19th century and 20th century, and some new teaching content must be added according to the requirements of the times.
These curriculum designs can't be clearly expressed by the words "university courses get high school study". It must be noted that the new senior high school curriculum not only tries to make all senior high school students keep up with the pace of social progress, but also takes into account the differences in students' learning ability and provides students with selective learning according to their own abilities and interests according to the deep differences in students' understanding of different subjects.
■ About branches
It is up to the school to decide whether to divide the arts and sciences.
Q: The new course selection has gone in four directions. Why do you want to design like this? Do the previous liberal arts classes and science classes still exist?
A: The purpose of dividing the four directions is to guide students to choose the corresponding courses to complete the required credits according to different learning objectives. Before the new curriculum, the learning direction of senior high school students is also consistent with the four major courses, namely, liberal arts, science, art or sports, and direct employment. The only difference is that all credits are now used to manage course learning. No matter which direction you choose, you must meet the requirements of graduation credits.
After the new curriculum begins, it is mainly up to the school to decide whether to divide classes into liberal arts, which may be divided into many situations. One is for the sake of safety, the school is still divided into majors after the compulsory courses, and the liberal arts classes are arranged together and the science classes are arranged together; It may also be that the school has established an administrative class since the first year of high school. Students in the same administrative class go to different classrooms according to different elective modules after the second year of high school, and then return to the administrative class after class. There may be various forms of management.
According to the provisions of the new curriculum, students must determine their own course selection direction in senior one, but it is impossible to fully realize it at present.

■ About course selection
Choose courses according to students' characteristics
Q: The new curriculum emphasizes selectivity. How do schools offer elective courses? How should parents help students choose courses?
A: There are two kinds of elective courses offered in the new curriculum: one is to set up a number of elective modules for students to choose from based on the same compulsory courses according to the needs of society for diversified talents to meet their different potentials and development needs. On the other hand, according to the needs of local social, economic, scientific and cultural development and students' interests, the school offers a number of elective modules for students to choose from. The opening of these two elective courses reflects the consideration and integration of senior high school courses by the state, local governments and schools, and also meets the needs of different students' personality characteristics and diversified development, which is the personality development on the same basis.
Therefore, parents should first help students understand themselves correctly, understand their interests, hobbies and potentials, and establish a responsible attitude towards their own lives as soon as possible; Secondly, we should study the course selection instruction manual with students, communicate with the course selection instructor or class teacher of the school, and help children make a reasonable course selection plan; Finally, parents should respect their children's choices.
■ About practical courses
Practice course credits should reach 23.
Q: 144 Among the graduation credits, there are compulsory credits for comprehensive practical activities. What does this mean for students? How should parents know each other?
A: Comprehensive practical activities are an important part of the eight learning areas of senior high school students' curriculum, and also a brand-new curriculum area. It is a unique compulsory course for national regulations, local guidance and school development. Its purpose is to keep high school students' interest in continuous exploration in their study and gain learning experience of participating in research, practice and service. Cultivate the ability to find and solve problems, master basic practical and service skills, learn to share, respect and cooperate, develop a scientific attitude of seeking truth from facts, enhance service awareness and dedication, and have a sense of responsibility and mission to pay attention to society.
Parents should first understand the above objectives of comprehensive practical activities, including research-based learning activities (15 credits), community service (2 credits) and social practice (6 credits). According to the new senior high school curriculum plan, students must participate in comprehensive practical activities every year, and the cumulative compulsory credits for three years must reach 23, accounting for 20% of the minimum compulsory credits and 16% of the minimum graduation credits. Therefore, parents should actively support and urge students to participate in comprehensive practical activities organized or required by the school.
Secondly, parents should help their children understand the significance of participating in comprehensive practical activities. Take research-based learning activities as an example. Generally speaking, its learning form is that students form a group, under the guidance of teachers, they choose their own topics that are from real life, have practical significance and are suitable for students' research, and then through a series of real research processes, such as making plans, collecting materials, summarizing and sorting out, exchanging and evaluating, which can last for a semester or even longer, mainly focusing on the personalized operation of research topics.
■ About borrowing.
When you borrow books from Beijing, you should carefully consider the differences.
Q: My child is a foreign student. If I borrow a student from Beijing, will it affect the students' going back to their hometown to take the college entrance examination? What should parents consider in this regard to benefit their children?
A: As now, the college entrance examination in Beijing is an independent proposition, which will be somewhat different from the teaching in other provinces and cities. In addition, the progress of curriculum reform in senior high schools in China is different, and the teaching materials are different. Parents and students should think carefully.
■ About credits
It is impossible to finish the credits ahead of time.
Q: According to the new curriculum, students must complete 65,438+044 credits before they can graduate. If a module fails, can they make up or retake the exam? Can I graduate early to take the college entrance examination after completing the credits?
A: You may have to finalize the graduation examination plan before you can answer this question. However, according to the current experimental curriculum of the Ministry of Education, there will be no problem of completing credits in advance. The HKCEE plan is expected to be announced before the start of the new school year.
■ About teaching materials
Students don't have to read every textbook.
Q: The new course will use a variety of teaching materials. Will this increase students' academic burden?
A: Teaching adopts the method of one program and many books. The school only uses textbooks to implement teaching, and the evaluation of students and education quality is guided by curriculum standards, which is divorced from a certain version of textbooks, so the difference of textbook versions is not the key issue after the curriculum reform in senior high school. According to the requirements of the Ministry of Education, the scope of use of each textbook should not exceed 60%, and that of Beijing is about 50%. Students don't have to learn every textbook, just use their own choices according to what the teacher teaches, and they don't have to read one by one, which increases the unnecessary burden. However, when preparing lessons, teachers can refer to several textbooks, which will help broaden their horizons.
