1、 The "Excellent Education" Program and Requirements of East China Normal University

East China Normal University implements the "Excellent Education" program, aiming to cultivate "outstanding talents" who can adapt to the new requirements of international Chinese language education development. This program emphasizes interdisciplinary teaching, strengthens thinking and ability education, with "updating concepts" and "changing thinking" as the guide, and clarifies thinking training. The Master's program in Chinese International Education aims to cultivate students' relevant knowledge and abilities through the "three orientations", relying on a teaching case library to form a teaching feature that combines practical courses with case-based teaching methods. Case teaching is the starting point for implementing the concept of "excellent education", by analyzing real situations, enhancing professional competence, and forming expert thinking.

2、 The Value and Application Difficulties of Case Teaching

Emphasis was placed on the importance of case-based teaching in the cultivation of Master's degree programs in Chinese International Education, highlighting its core position in teaching plans and evaluation indicators. Scholars generally believe that case-based teaching helps students combine theory with practice, cultivate problem-solving and higher-order thinking abilities. Discussion plays a crucial role in case teaching, but there are many difficulties in practice, such as the difficulty of realizing the collision of different ideas in discussion, students being influenced by exam oriented culture and ignoring other viewpoints, and a lack of critical thinking training. In response to these issues, strategies have been proposed to strengthen the cultivation of thinking abilities from the perspectives of classroom teaching and curriculum design.

3、 Improving case-based classroom teaching through 'transparent thinking'

Explored how to improve case-based classroom teaching through the "transparency of thinking" method in the Master's program of Chinese International Education to cultivate students' thinking ability. The article points out that traditional case teaching may not fully mobilize the thinking of all students, especially those who lack confidence. To solve this problem, teachers need to adopt some "externalized" activity forms to help students develop good thinking habits.

4、 Concept based, train of thought to reconstruct case course design

Explored the problems in the design of the Master's program in Chinese International Education, such as repetitive teaching content and unfavorable cultivation of deep thinking ability, and proposed a concept based curriculum design concept. By introducing Bloom's conceptual knowledge, the importance of conceptual knowledge in expert knowledge organization is emphasized, as well as the difference between conceptual knowledge and factual and technical knowledge. The chapter also discusses the division of concepts into disciplinary concepts and interdisciplinary concepts, as well as how to cultivate students' expert thinking through the teaching of conceptual knowledge.
