Evaluating The Implementation of The "Double Reduction" Policy in China's Compulsory Education (K12): Taking Guizhou Province as an Example

Abstract

With the implementation of the "Double Reduction" policy, the focus of the curriculum has gradually shifted from the traditional recitation of knowledge points and test-taking training to the cultivation of disciplinary competence and literacy. Through reviewing relevant literature, it is found that the understanding and application of diagrams and charts are an important part of cultivating subject competence and literacy. As a common tool in teaching, charts and diagrams play an important role in early childhood education, and the improvement of early childhood teachers' ability to read charts and diagrams has become a greater concern. Therefore, this study adopts questionnaires and in-depth interviews to comprehensively assess the chart-reading ability of early childhood teachers, and then proposes corresponding improvement strategies. By improving the map-reading ability of kindergarten teachers, this study aims to support primary and secondary school teachers in using maps and charts effectively in classroom teaching, so as to ensure the continued effectiveness of the "Double Reduction" policy and to promote the all-round development of students
