ABSTRACT

The "Double Reduction" policy holds significant value for restoring balance in the education ecosystem and optimizing the educational ecosystem. However, examining compulsory education ecology under the lens of ecology reveals that the entrenched "robbing Peter to pay Paul" culture in student learning factors hinders innovative assignment design. The rapid fluctuations in the teacher ecosystem and the weakening of teacher "ecological resilience" affect teaching quality. The segregation of the "home-school-community" nurturing structure leads to a "collective absence" of family and social educational functions. The stable structure of the examination culture leads to a "two-way squeeze" between "intelligence education" and "grades." Ecological damage under the "middle-class trap" results in a "clear reduction but hidden increase" in students' extracurricular training burden, exacerbating the urban-rural curriculum and teaching "polarization." For the "Double Reduction" policy to be effective, it should focus on the "ecological balance perspective" and the "ecosystem perspective." This involves exploring "smart burden reduction" methods for student assignments, improving the mechanism for "double reduction" work for teachers, establishing a collaborative "home- school- community" education internet, returning to the original mission of moral education, enhancing the governance system for selecting and nurturing talent, and achieving "misplaced" high-quality development of urban and rural education. This will promote the education ecosystem from imbalance to balance and disorder to systematization, allowing students' learning to return to the essence of education.
