ABSTRACT

From 1949 to the present, China's basic education has undergone eight curriculum

reforms. The “Outline of China's Education Reform and Development ”issued in June

1994 clearly put forward the concept of quality education, and "quality education"

has become the main theme of curriculum reform. In 2022, a new round of

curriculum reform vigorously implemented the policy of "core literacy" and

comprehensively cultivating high-quality talents. Quality education and high- efficiency classroom teaching research to comprehensively promote core literacy

education have been paid more and more attention by the majority of researchers.

The revised two-dimensional framework of the theory of Bloom's classification of

educational objectives is helpful to build an efficient classroom and cultivate

students' high-level thinking. In combination with the teaching practice under the

background of basic education reform, this study discusses the construction

methods and strategies of high-efficiency chemistry classroom in Middle School

under the theory of Bloom's classification of educational objectives.

Keywords: Basic education; Curriculum reform; Efficient classroom; Bloom's

THE COURSE OF CHINA'S BASIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM REFORM

Since the reform and opening up in 1978,Chinese middle school chemistry teaching has

experienced several reforms and achieved remarkable progress. However,due to the impact of

the examination education,the "command stick" of the college entrance examination has still

fallen on the level of the knowledge of students, which leads to Full of"cramming

education"and"spoon-feed "teaching mode abound.Knowledge-based classroom model has led

to a decline in the interest of students' learning chemistry. Students are unwilling to listen, and

the efficiency of classroom efficiency has decreased obviously. The effective strategy of

changing the current situation of teaching is to build high-efficiency classrooms,and transform

the course implementation in curriculum reform from "make students learn" to "students want

to learn",improve students' interest in learning and develop students' core literacy of

disciplines[1], so as to cultivate innovative talents needed by the country to accelerate the

process of high-quality development of basic education in China.

The course carries educational ideas, educational goals and educational content, and

determines the quality of talent training, indicating the future of the nation and the country [2]

.

And the course is also the main carrier of talent training, which is an effective way to improve

the quality of talent training[3] [4]

.Since 1949, China has carried out eight primary and secondary

school curriculum reforms. These eight curriculum reforms have laid the "people-oriented"

educational tone and promoted the transition process from "three-dimensional" to "core

literacy". The formulation of patterns is becoming more and more rational."The key events of

social development and the main nodes of educational reform have an important impact on the

launch and progress of basic education curriculum reform."[5]

. Combined with the process of

social development and the relevant reform documents promulgated by the state, the reform

of China's basic education curriculum can be divided into four aspects: preliminary reform,

independent exploration, adjustment and consolidation, and deepening reform.

Preliminary reform stage (1949-1957)

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China,domestic education still had

strong feudalism and capitalism.In August 1950,the Ministry of Education published the

"Interim Standards for Curriculum (Draft) of Elementary Schools (Draft)" and "Interim

Teaching Plan for Middle Schools (Draft)". It is mainly based on subsection courses;In

September 1955,the Ministry of Education's "Instructions on Implementation of Primary

School Teaching Plan" provided strong institutional support for the implementation of frequent

changes in teaching plans.The curriculum reform at this stage formulated a unified educational

idea,and the new curriculum.Also,it reinforced the political and ideological education of

primary and secondary school students.

During the independent exploration stage (1958-1976)

In 1958,China's basic education course reform embarked on the road of self-exploring.In terms

of curriculum settings,the"Instructions on Education Work"promulgated in China in September

1958 set up labor education to formal courses;in terms of curriculum management, in 1963, the

Ministry of Education proposed that the state should implement unified management of basic

education curriculum.

Adjustment and consolidation stage (1977-2000)

In 1978,the Ministry of Education adopted the "Draft Full-time Ten-Year Primary and Middle

School Teaching Plan",which proposed the teaching of "dual-foundation theory" that attaches

importance to basic knowledge and basic skills.In 1981, the Ministry of Education formulated

the "Full -time Five -Year Primary School Teaching Plan (Revised Draft)" and "Full -time Key

Middle School Teaching Plan (Trial Draft)".The measures in the two drafts can make primary

and secondary school education in line with social development trends and meet the needs of

the times.At the same time,they enable students to develop in many aspects of

morality,intellectual and physical,and strive to become a newcomer with

ideals,morality,culture,and discipline.

In 1988 and 1992,the State promulgated the "Compulsory Education Full-time Primary

School,Junior Middle School Teaching Plan (trial draft)"and"Nine-year Compulsory Education

Full-time Primary School and Junior Middle School Curriculum (Trial)"to ensure the smooth

implementation of curriculum and teaching during compulsory education.The curriculum

reform at this stage has re-established the "dual-base" curriculum orientation, and China's basic

education has also changed from the three-level course system of "primary school-junior high

school-ordinary high school" to "compulsory education-ordinary high school" two-level

curriculum system.

Deepening the reform stage (2001-to this day)

In 2001,the State Council passed the "Decision on the Reform and Development of Basic

Education" and the "Outline of the Reform of the Basic Education Curriculum (Trial)",which set

off a new round of basic education curriculum reform.It has greatly innovated from various

aspects such as value orientation,theoretical foundation,curriculum management, curriculum

settings,curriculum content,curriculum implementation, curriculum evaluation,etc.In

September 2016, China officially established the overall framework and basic connotation of

Chinese students' development core literacy.This is another major reform of the course goals

after the "dual-base".In 2019, the Ministry of Education newly released the "Opinions on

Deepening Education and Teaching Reform to Comprehensively Improve the Quality of

Compulsory Education",and put forward the reform strategy of adhering to the "five education"

and comprehensively implementing quality education. The deepening-in course reform has

revised the original curriculum system to a certain degree, and the core literacy concept has

begun to be widely implemented.

Efficient classroom construction in the context of curriculum reform

In 2021, under the guidance of Jinping Xi's new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics in

the new era of Jinping Xi.The basic education in China is committed to cultivate the newcomer

of the era of cultivating the rejuvenation of the people is the responsibility., and the quality of

development was placed in a more prominent position, focusing on improving the quality and

efficiency of development, and building construction. High-quality basic education system has

made major breakthroughs in promoting high-quality development [6]

.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CURRICULUM REFORM

The basic education course stipulates the educational goals and educational content, which

should play the important role in morality education. When the revision of the previous

curriculum reforms meets the goal of cultivating students' lifelong development, it also meets

the requirements of political requirements. The new round of curriculum reform requires

strengthening the quality education of students, cultivating students 'ability to explore,

cooperation and communication, and gradually enhance the core literacy of students' chemical

disciplines.If you want to comprehensively improve the overall teaching quality, you must

improve the teaching quality of each lesson. As a result, the idea of "high efficiency classroom"

has been widely implemented, and its construction has strengthened the core literacy of

students' disciplines, which is very in line with the goal of educating people in new curriculum

reform.To be specific,what are the efficient classrooms?Efficient classrooms are different from

traditional classrooms.It is a new way of teaching.High-efficiency,as the name

suggests,investing in the least time and energy,to achieve the best results,efficiency and

effectiveness are the dual characteristics of an efficient classroom, and neither can be called a
