On November 19th, during the 5th and 6th periods, the School of Teacher Education held an open class observation activity for the course Foundations of Secondary Education in Room 209 of the Sanjiang Building. The class was conducted for the 2023 cohort of undergraduate students majoring in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics (Teacher Training) and was taught by Lecturer Shi Meng from Jiangsu University. College teaching supervisors and young teachers in the assistant teaching phase attended the session for observation and learning.

At the beginning of the lesson, Teacher Shi utilized smart teaching tools to guide students in reviewing the concepts and types of curricula, providing comments and summaries on their responses. This effectively achieved alignment between teaching, learning, and assessment.Teacher Shi then transitioned to the main topic of the lesson, Curriculum Development, by posing the question, "Who is responsible for developing different types of curricula?" The lesson focused on key points such as the stages of curriculum development, sources of curriculum objectives, formulation of curriculum objectives, and the determination of curriculum goals. The teaching content was clear and well-structured, with a strong emphasis on key points. The class atmosphere was relaxed and engaging, resulting in a positive teaching outcome.

In this open class, Teacher Shi demonstrated teaching strategies and techniques centered on a "student-focused, teacher-guided" approach, serving as a model to inspire and guide young teachers. Following the observation, participating teachers engaged in in-depth discussions and exchanges with Teacher Shi on topics such as smart teaching and instructional design. The young teachers unanimously agreed that Teacher Shi’s class was rich in content, highly interactive, and featured flexible and diverse teacher-student interactions. This not only highlighted the teacher’s ability to manage the classroom effectively but also illustrated the relationship between the teacher's instructional leadership and the cultivation of student learning autonomy.

The successful organization of this open class provided an opportunity for young teachers to learn and exchange teaching experiences, playing a positive role in enhancing the teaching standards of the college’s young faculty members.
