Respectively, schools and teachers can set up teaching objectives pointing to the core qualities of disciplines firstly, organize teaching materials to carry out small interdisciplinary activities in class secondly, then integrate teachers to launch big project-based learning and interdisciplinary activities, finally create comprehensive curriculum pointing to comprehensive qualities.
