Big Ideas:The Lever for Transforming Classroom Learning Methods
The transformation of classroom learning methods is a core objective of basic educa-tion curriculum reform.Despite more than two decades of reform,this goal has not yet been fully achieved.The challenges encountered in reality indicate that promoting advanced learning methods and updating teachers'concepts alone cannot truly achieve a shift in learning methods.The key to transforming learning methods lies in the upgrading of learning contents.From three-dimensional goals to core competencies,the learning contents have evolved from knowledge and skills to"big ideas."The characteristics of big ideas determine that the learning process must be matched with cor-responding learning methods,which is mainly manifested in:big ideas themselves are valuable and meaningful knowledge,making them more suitable for autonomous learning with initiative as a fun-damental quality;understanding big ideas requires learners to construct them through interaction with others,and cooperative learning creates conditions for such interaction;the abstract nature of big ideas naturally connects them closely with inquiry-based learning,with questions pointing to big ideas being the core of inquiry-based learning.
