The end of the old teaching methods.

The physics sample test has a total of 40 questions, focusing on the curriculum and textbook for 12th grade physics. The fundamental changes from the test drafting committee aim to avoid overwhelming students and increasing pressure in the high school graduation exam. This is the right and appropriate approach.

For many years, we've talked a lot about combating curriculum overload, and now this is reflected in the sample physics exam for the 2025 high school graduation exam. Of course, knowledge is a logical sequence, but the fact that the sample exam doesn't include any questions or ideas specifically for the 10th or 11th grade curriculum will help teachers focus on each lesson and chapter when teaching, reviewing, testing, and preparing for the 12th grade exam.

Currently, despite calls for innovation in teaching methods, teachers primarily focus on theoretical instruction, neglecting practical application. This contradicts the curriculum and hinders the implementation of the new program. It's time for school administrators and subject departments to strengthen professional management, thoroughly understand the subject curriculum, and develop appropriate educational plans based on the school's specific circumstances. Each teacher needs to adapt, understand the curriculum, closely monitor their students, and practically help them build confidence, diligence, passion for learning, and develop effective self-study methods.

Teaching 12th-grade students this year is most challenging because it involves thoroughly understanding the curriculum and effectively applying materials from textbooks to deliver high-quality lessons. The Ministry of Education and Training's sample high school graduation exam from 2025 onwards "commissions" teachers to focus on lessons that don't require rote memorization, but rather emphasize the connections between expressions and applications, building upon newly learned knowledge. Crucially, teachers should put an end to the old teaching methods and the heavy, theoretical "theory-based-grading" approach to testing.

Each teacher needs to provide a detailed solution to the sample test. Afterward, the subject group (or team) should hold a meeting (lesson study), focusing on evaluating the current state of teaching and learning over the past few years, using the sample test as a frame of reference, and identifying shortcomings in order to find solutions.
