Abstract
In the context of China’s social transformation and educational reform, addressing the problems of fragmented and ineffective learning in traditional teaching modes and enhancing students’ academic levels and developing their comprehensive abilities through structured classroom learning have become critical issues in educational reform. The holistic module learning model emerges in this context as the times dictate. It promotes the development of a systematic and holistic view of knowledge for all subjects by teachers and students. Students use major concepts to connect disparate knowledge, skills, and methods in order to develop a persistent and transferable understanding of knowledge and cognitive and noncognitive abilities. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a conceptual analysis of holistic module learning and to discuss its characteristics. The implementation strategies for this model are discussed, as well as the model’s significance.
