What is the vertical and horizontal organization of teaching content?
Vertical organization: refers to the logical order of subject knowledge, from known to unknown, from simple to complex, from concrete to abstract.

For example, Gagne's hierarchy theory divides human learning into eight categories according to the complexity, and holds that learning any new knowledge and skills is based on acquired or original knowledge and skills, that is, complex learning is based on simple learning; Subject courses (Chinese, mathematics, etc.). ) are mostly vertically organized.

Horizontal organization: refers to breaking the knowledge boundary of small disciplines and the traditional knowledge system, and organizing the compilation of teaching materials according to the problems that need to be explored in the stage of students' development and the stage of students' psychological development, thus forming a relatively independent topic.

For example, the smog problem is very serious, and we can organize and present our knowledge (meteorology, geography, ecology, environmental science, etc.). That can explain the cause of smog and solve this problem.

Organizational principles of curriculum design

First, continuity. Continuity refers to the horizontal organization within the scope of "breadth" of curriculum content, and it refers to the linear statement of main curriculum elements.

Second, the order. The order is the order in which the course content, learning experience and learning materials are organized into some connection. Order is related to continuity, but it goes beyond continuity. It refers to the vertical organization rules within the "depth" of the curriculum, so that learning opportunities are based on previous learning experience or curriculum content, but the same curriculum elements should be treated deeper, wider and more complicated.

Third, integration. Integration is to establish appropriate connections between different course contents, so as to integrate the state of knowledge fragmentation caused by segmentation, and thus achieve the maximum cumulative learning effect.
