Innovative Achievement of Elementary General Education
The achievement makes up for the lack of the education biased on humanity and enlightenment in Chinese elementary education. With the emphasis on humanity education and cultivation of critical thinking, Elementary General Education has laid the foundation for training more elite students with cross-disciplinary and critical thinking skills.

The project is put into practice in more than 120 teaching practice bases throughout China. It covers the concept of education, creation of textbooks, teaching of general education, cultivation of critical thinking, deliberative pedagogy, and some other systematic innovative practices.

 

1. Educational Thoughts Innovation
With the essence of Chinese culture and history, world culture and history, science and humanity, Elementary General Education enhances the study of humanities subject in primary education, which will definitely lay essential foundation for cultivating speculative, critical and innovative thinking.

 

2. Education System Innovation
Inheriting the traditional Chinese rhythm mode "four-character compound", Unibridge officially published the textbook series General Education for Genius. It combines traditional enlightenment education and modern humanity education, creates the basic humanities knowledge system by simulating brain tissue structure, and first interpret world culture and history, science and humanity in "four-character compound" rhythm mode.

 

3. Teaching Method Innovation
Unibridge adopts deliberative pedagogy in class. It is a student-centered teaching method, which encourages students to join knowledge sharing activities, and improve imagination, expression skills and critical thinking skills. Unibridge regards classroom as a unique social environment, which promotes teams to cooperate, analyze and solve problems, and cultivates leadership skills. Teachers should play the role of guide, which will make students more independent, feel free to share their ideas, and create an active atmosphere for humanities. A meaningful student-family-school partnership should be built, which will help students study in an effective way.
