The essential difference between the new curriculum and the old curriculum is ().

In addition to the new knowledge structure and content, the new curriculum is fundamentally different from the old curriculum in terms of new ideas. The difference between the old and new curriculum views lies in: the old curriculum view thinks that curriculum is knowledge and teaching material; Curriculum and teaching are separated from each other. The new curriculum view holds that curriculum is not only knowledge, but also experience and activity; Curriculum is the integration of teaching materials, teachers, students and environment; Curriculum and teaching are integrated, which is an ecosystem composed of teaching materials, teachers and students, teaching scenes and teaching environment. The new curriculum pursues the student-oriented concept of "for the development of every student", while the old curriculum just ignores the development of students, especially the development of every student. Due to the different nature, the effect of classroom teaching is also different.
