Abstract This paper elucidates the compilation philosophy and structural system of the 2024 version of the Science Guangdong Edition Compulsory Education Textbooks: Chemistry. The new textbooks adopt a dual-line parallel content framework, leading each unit with big ideas and employing a problem-oriented writing approach. Through sections such as “Section Focus” “Problem Exploration” “Activity Inquiry” “Method Summary” and “Exercise Evaluation”, they guide students to develop chemical ideas through problem-solving. Additionally,they develop interdisciplinary practical activities to enhance problem-solving skills, optimize experimental activity design to cultivate scientific inquiry abilities, and introduce guidance on approaches and methods to promote the development of scientific thinking. The new textbooks also establish a diverse and tiered evaluation system that emphasizes the assessment of methodological abilities, supporting the comprehensive development of students’ core competencies. The distinctive features of the compilation can provide valuable references for teachers to optimize their teaching practices.
