  数据意识、模型意识、应用意识、创新意识;
- junior high: 抽象能力、运算能力、几何直观、空间观念、推理能力、数据观念、
  模型观念、应用意识、创新意识.

## General design model

Core literacy forms while learners solve a problem in context. It is not a
knowledge label attached to a lecture.

- **Authentic context:** a concrete situation from learner life, society or a
  disciplinary phenomenon. It must generate a real unresolved problem.
- **Performance task:** an inspectable act such as explain, write, model,
  decide, design, test or present. It externalizes the selected dimension.
- **Learning activity:** the sequence learners need in order to complete the
  task: observe, operate, annotate, discuss, read, model, draft, test, compare
  and revise.
- **Performance assessment:** criteria aligned to the task, embedded during
  the work and at the end. The exit check is a transfer case, not a detached
  recall sheet.

## Technology, arts, PE and labor

These subjects default to practice, creation, operation, decision and public
display rather than content exposition:

- IT: identify an information problem, represent the process, build or modify
  a digital artifact, test it, then address responsible use.
- Arts: perceive a work or cultural situation, make an artistic choice,
  create or perform, explain the choice and revise from feedback.
- PE and health: perform, observe technique or behavior evidence, adjust, and
  connect the decision to health and sportsmanship.
- Labor: plan a real task, operate safely, inspect the product or service,
  improve it and reflect on habits, quality and responsibility.

Evaluate the real performance or artifact. A knowledge-recall quiz may support
diagnosis but cannot replace the task.
