Curriculum standard is the basic programmatic document of national curriculum, and it is also the basic norm and quality requirement of national basic education curriculum. This curriculum reform will transform the long-used syllabus into curriculum standards, which embodies the basic ideas advocated by the curriculum reform.
The formulation of basic education curriculum standards is the core work of basic education curriculum reform. With the joint efforts of nearly 300 experts, the experimental draft of 18 curriculum standard was officially promulgated, marking a new stage of curriculum reform in basic education in China.
Curriculum is an important way to achieve educational goals, the most important basis for organizing educational and teaching activities, and the carrier to embody and reflect educational ideas and concepts. Therefore, curriculum is the core of education.
The curriculum reform of basic education is not the product of pure subjective will, but people's subjective response to the objective needs of specific social, political and economic development.
Therefore, the objective needs of social, political and economic development not only determine whether education in a certain society should be reformed, but also fundamentally determine the direction, goal and even scale of reform. The historical process of educational development fully illustrates the above assertion.
