Big ideas are not core concepts and key concepts.There are four differences between them:the first difference does not belong to the same kind of knowledge;the second one is subordinate disciplines;the third is objectivity or subjectivity;the fourth is values.The reasons for confusion are the in-fluence of Chinese and for-eign pedagogy on the interpretation of big ideas,taking the words too literally,and the confusion of the semantics of the concepts of humanities and science.The extraction of big ideas does not need to be complicated and far-reaching,and can be obtained directly from the curriculum standards and textbooks.
