Further Discussion on Interdisciplinary Thematic Learning in the New Curriculum
Interdisciplinary thematic learning embodies the comprehensive and practical spirit of the new curriculum,and is one of the highlights of the new curriculum,which is a Chinese curriculum discourse that needs to be continuously constructed.From the perspective of theoretical modeling,the interdisciplinary thematic learning in the new curriculum is characterized by two types:"subject A cross subject B"and"subject A cross subject B+".The aim is to distinguish interdisciplinary thematic learning from generalized transdisciplinary learning,clarify its position in integrative learning,facilitate operability and observability in policy implementation,and guide teachers from various subjects to deeply participate.From the perspective of relationship clarification,interdisciplinary thematic learning is an iterative transformation of interdisciplinary learning,a return to the disciplinary attributes of thematic learning,and an intermediate path to promote integrative learning.From the perspective of practical essentials,interdisciplinary thematic learning should grasp the disciplinary attributes of school learning,construct meaningful and comprehensive themes,and implement the reform purport of integrative learning.
