Abstract:

The macroscopic teaching method is an instructional approach that integrates unit content to guide students in autonomous exploration. The macroscopic teaching approach, driven by core competencies, emphasizes the shift from surface-level to deep-level essential learning with transferable and enduring features. It also emphasizes the shift from memorizing knowledge points to learning and applying content, methods, and strategies and the shift from fragmented learning to structured disciplinary perspectives. The article further discusses the cultivation path of autonomous learning ability from three levels: "consciousness-action-ability", which involves cultivating awareness of autonomous learning, creating opportunities for practical action, and providing platforms for demonstrating abilities. Lastly, the author reviews traditional measurement techniques and several major scales for autonomous learning and emphasizes innovative measurement techniques.
