The outline points out that the national curriculum standard is the basis of textbook compilation, teaching, evaluation and examination proposition, as well as the basis of national curriculum management and evaluation. It should reflect the basic requirements of the state for students at different stages in knowledge and skills, processes and methods, emotional attitudes and values, stipulate the nature, objectives and content framework of each course, and put forward teaching suggestions and evaluation suggestions. As can be seen from the above provisions, curriculum standards include the following connotations:

☆ It is formulated according to categories;

☆ The nature, objectives and content framework of this course are specified;

☆ Put forward guiding teaching principles and evaluation suggestions;

☆ Does not include specific contents such as teaching emphases, difficulties and time allocation;

☆ The basic requirements that students at different stages should meet in knowledge and skills, processes and methods, emotional attitudes and values are stipulated.

Because the curriculum standard stipulates the basic quality requirements of citizens in a certain aspect or field, it is undoubtedly of great guiding significance to teaching materials, teaching and evaluation, and is the starting point and destination of teaching materials, teaching and evaluation. Because both teaching materials and teaching serve the cultivation of basic quality in these fields, and the evaluation focuses on evaluating students in these fields.

Or the performance of the field, whether it meets the basic requirements of the country. Therefore, regardless of teaching materials, teaching or evaluation, the starting point is to cultivate those qualities stipulated in the curriculum standards, and the ultimate goal is also these basic quality requirements.

It can be said that the basic quality requirements stipulated in the curriculum standards are the soul of teaching materials, teaching and evaluation, and also the soul of the whole basic education curriculum. This is also an important reason why countries attach great importance to curriculum reform, especially to the formulation of curriculum standards. At present, Britain and the United States and other countries have organized the strongest forces in China and invested a lot of material resources to formulate curriculum standards for various disciplines, which shows that they are paying more and more attention to national curriculum standards. No matter how the teaching materials are compiled, no matter how the teaching is designed, no matter how the evaluation is carried out, we must serve around this basic quality requirement and cannot be separated from this core.

However, curriculum standards are the basic basis of teaching materials, teaching and evaluation, which does not mean that curriculum standards are specific provisions for teaching materials, teaching and evaluation. The requirements of curriculum standards for the basic quality of a certain aspect or a certain field are mainly reflected in the curriculum objectives and content determined by the curriculum standards. Therefore, the guiding role of curriculum standards is mainly reflected in that it stipulates the teaching materials, the curriculum objectives to be achieved in teaching and the curriculum contents to be learned in teaching materials, and stipulates the basic qualities to be evaluated and the basic standards for evaluation. However, there are no hard and fast rules on the specific problems in the process of textbook compilation, teaching design and evaluation (such as textbook compilation system, teaching order arrangement, class time allocation and evaluation methods, etc.). )
