[Fostering the chemistry and biology dual-disciplinary core literacy]

Improving students' comprehensive quality and developing their core literacy are the training objectives of high school subject curriculums, which puts forward new requirements for teachers' professionalism and core literacy. In order to adapt to the high school curriculum reform and the new college entrance examination reform, the Ministry of Education approved the development of high-quality, integrated and master-level high school teachers training pilot program. The aim of this program was to foster a group of dual-disciplinary integrated high school teachers who are suitable for teaching, enjoying teaching and skillful in teaching. How to foster the dual-disciplinary core literacy of normal students through subject curriculum is one of the challenges faced by the pilot program. Following the training objectives of the pilot program "Chemistry and Biological Sciences", we proposed to integrate the dual-disciplinary literacy into four aspects: material concept, scientific thinking, inquiry practice, attitude and responsibility. This was proposed based on analyzing the core literacy of the disciplines of chemistry and biology, and aimed to promote teachers and normal students' understanding and practice of dual-discipline core literacy. With biochemistry course as an example, we further explored and practiced on how to foster the dual-disciplinary core literacy of normal students, aiming to provide reference for the reform of other courses included in the dual-disciplinary integrated programs.
