Abstract

Based on the backward teaching design concept of "Backward Design" and constructivist theory, a "Backward Design" cross-disciplinary project-based teaching design approach is proposed. This model begins by determining the expected outcomes based on the teaching objectives, then identifying the evidence for achieving those outcomes, and finally designing the corresponding courses and teaching segments. Throughout the design process, it is ensured that the goals, content, and evaluation in the interdisciplinary project-based teaching design are consistent. Subsequently, this article explored the application by taking the theme teaching of "The Beauty of Chime" in middle school English as an example. The results showed that using this set of design ideas to design interdisciplinary project-based teaching activities has a certain promoting effect on the development of students' core competencies. We hope that this set of design concepts, practical cases and reflection suggestions will stimulate discussions and exchanges in the field of education, and provide reference for interdisciplinary project-based teaching design.
