Abstract:

The concept, cause and value of Chinese Advanced Placement (CAP) are introduced in this paper. Taking concise organic chemistry as an example, the construction process and operation of a CAP course are discussed. CAP courses improve the link between high school and college courses, and the construction and effective implementation of CAP system can help disseminate advanced teaching ideas and sharing of high-quality teaching resources. At the same time, multi-angle learning ability evaluation can facilitate the recruitment of students for universities. The construction of CAP curriculum system is an inevitable trend of the development of teaching reform in the new era. However, there are still some problems such as the authority of CAP courses, the difficulty in the recognition of grades and credits, the lack of qualified high school teachers for CAP and the increase of students' academic burden. It is a feasible way to construct CAP system on top-level design by the national education department, and provide the courses running management, test evaluation service and teacher training service by the professional and authoritative third-party institutions.

Key words: Educational reform, Chinese Advanced Placement
