The Objectives of Competency-Oriented Chinese Education: Connotation, Problems and Design Strategies

Abstract

Competency-oriented learning objectives are the key to designing Chinese learning task groups and implementing core competencies in Chinese teaching. The connotation of competency-oriented learning objectives is clarified from three dimensions: integrity, systematicity, and practicality. The analysis reveals that the current design of learning objectives for Chinese learning task groups has problems such as isolation and fragmentation, repetition and abstraction, as well as confusion and ambiguity. To design competency-oriented Chinese learning objectives, teachers need to transform their views on curriculum, textbooks, and teaching, use big ideas to integrate and construct a system of "core competencies - unit objectives - lesson segment objectives", and take problem-solving as the anchor point to implement the integrity, systematicity, and practicality of learning objectives, thereby promoting the development of students' core competencies.
