Review of the Practice and Research on the Integration of International Curriculum in Chinese Schools

With the acceleration of globalization, the integration of international curricula has become increasingly important in the field of Chinese education, aiming to cultivate talents with a global perspective and local wisdom. This review, through an in-depth examination of existing literature, reveals the current research status and trends in the field of international curriculum integration. The study finds that, despite significant progress in the introduction of curriculum systems, innovation in teaching models, and professional development of teachers, there are still issues such as insufficient exploration of the correlation between teaching models and student learning outcomes, a lack of systematic research on curriculum localization and cross-cultural competence development, and a need for more in-depth strategies to support the professional growth of teachers. Therefore, future research needs to further explore the empirical effects of teaching model innovations, systematic strategies for curriculum localization, and multi-dimensional approaches to promote the professional development of teachers, in order to advance the integration of international curricula and improve the quality of education.
