On December 14th, Ape Counseling held an education roundtable forum on "Penetrating the Essence of Learning Xi and Actively Facing the Future", and made its debut in its latest book "Learning to Learn Xi". As the first non-teaching book of Ape Tutoring, "Learning to Learn to Xi" sold more than 10,000 in one week after its launch, ranking first on the best-selling list of parent-child tutoring new books on Dangdang.com, and the top ten in the overall best-selling list of new books.
It is understood that "Learning to Xi" is a family education book with "Big Concept Learning Xi" as the core. Based on the practical problems in the learning Xi of 19.87 million primary and secondary school students, this book summarizes the accumulation of more than ten years of teaching experience in ape counseling as a "big concept" learning Xi method, that is, grasping the essential ideas or laws behind the specific knowledge of each discipline, establishing the essence and structure of knowledge, transferring existing knowledge to new fields, and helping children get through the underlying learning Xi logic between disciplines.
Since the release of the new curriculum standards, the proportion of comprehensive literacy content in various disciplines has gradually increased, which has become a new direction for teaching and investigation in schools, and literacy education has also become a new topic for discussion among schools and parents. At the forum, education innovators and education practitioners in various fields focused on literacy education, and learned about the nature of learning Xi, Xi interest in learning, homework problems, and aversion to learning.
Yang Yucui, Executive Principal of HD Beijing Primary School, National Famous Mathematics Special Teacher, and Winner of the 2023 Holistic Education Nomination Award, said that it is easy to fall into a misunderstanding in mathematics education at the primary school level, that is, after being exposed to scattered knowledge points, a large number of questions are brushed up and full marks are pursued. In fact, this age is the best period for cultivating good mathematical thinking, and indoctrination teaching methods that do not pay attention to the thinking process are likely to solidify children's thinking, which is a great obstacle to cultivating good thinking skills. "The most important thing is to guide students to understand the essence of knowledge through interest, so that subject knowledge can become a tool to solve their real-life problems. ”
Ma Min, the author of Learning to Learn Xi and the executive principal of Ape Counseling School, said that if children understand the essence of learning Xi, it is like having a string of beads, and stringing together the scattered concepts and steps with big concepts, children can strongly feel the structure of knowledge, and they will naturally remember it more firmly. At this time, children no longer need repetitive and mechanical training, but with the help of big concepts, to achieve the integration of knowledge, not only to understand the essence of knowledge, but also to build a knowledge system. Therefore, we need to help children master the ability to learn Xi and solve problems, which is the ability to truly bring out of school and benefit for a lifetime.
In addition to systematically explaining the "big concept" learning Xi, "Learning to Learn Xi" contains 8 thinking tools and 5 efficient learning Xi methods suitable for different learning Xi scenarios. The "6 Real Scenarios for Getting Along with Children" practical tips that come with the book provide practical methods and guide specific actions, which will help parents help their children build a thinking structure and cultivate their children's independent learning and Xi ability.
Ma Min said that "Learning to Learn Xi" is a new attempt for ape tutoring books to move from subject education to literacy education, and in the future, ape tutoring books will be based on the accumulation of resources for learning scientific Xi, and more senior publishing institutions will jointly deepen the development of high-quality content, jointly develop new forms of works based on children's growth, and continue to deepen publishing and integrated development.
Since the establishment of the project in June 2022, the ape tutoring book business has continued to move and attracted much attention. According to previous reports, the cumulative sales of the whole series of ape tutoring books have exceeded 4 million copies, and the book matrix has also begun to take shape, namely the "Our Language" series, the "One Book" series, the "New Test Method" series, the "Good Method" series, the "Fun Series" and the "Famous Teacher's Recruitment" series for junior and senior high schools. Among them, the "One Pass" series was favored by the parent circle as soon as it was launched, with a total of 3 million copies sold.
Some industry insiders believe that the non-teaching auxiliary book "Learning to Xi" is the first innovative attempt of ape tutoring to set foot in social science books, which once again detonates the parent-child education book market, which also means that its book strategy has been further verified by the market.
