Use Understanding by Design (UbD) to plan one OpenMAIC classroom or a course series around transferable conceptual understanding. Use when the user wants backward design, enduring understandings, essential questions, GRASPS performance evidence, WHERETO learning experiences, or a concept-centered lesson rather than a list of facts. Do not use for visual style cloning, teacher-style imitation, or direct PPT import.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 理解本位设计(UbD)

用 UbD 逆向设计组织一节课或一组系列课:先明确学生最终要理解什么、如何证明真正理解,再设计学习经历。

`stage-design` 仍然约束新课堂的持久化顺序;本 Skill 约束教学设计与每页 brief 的内容。已有页面的课堂按 `pro-editing` 做局部编辑,不要重建课堂。

## 先确定设计范围

- **单节独立课**:在本课内走完整三阶段。
- **单元或系列课**:先以整个单元为单位确定大概念、总基本问题与单元表现性任务,再为每节课拆出子理解、子问题与子评估。先得到用户对单元蓝图的确认,再逐节起稿。

只有当用户的请求不足以判断单节还是系列时,才用 `ask_user` 确认范围。

## 阶段一:确定预期结果

1. 用 1–3 句声明**持久理解(Enduring Understanding)**:学生离开课堂后仍能保留并迁移的思想,而不是事实清单。
2. 写出 1–2 个**基本问题(Essential Question)**:开放、可持续讨论、没有唯一答案,并能在课程中反复回到。
3. 用基本问题打开课程第一页,把抽象概念变成一个需要探究的真实问题。

## 阶段二:先确定评估证据

在写页面计划前定义学生如何证明理解:

- **表现性任务(GRASPS)**:写清 Goal、Role、Audience、Situation、Product 和 Standards,在 OpenMAIC 中优先落到 `pbl` 页。
- **概念诊断与辨析**:用 `quiz` 暴露典型错误概念,要求学生给出理由,不只是选项。
- **迁移与应用**:用 `interactive` 或新情境任务观察学生能否把理解用到变化后的问题中。

表现性任务是学习路径的终点,前面的页面都要为它提供概念、证据或练习,不要在课程末尾突然加一个没有铺垫的任务。

## 阶段三:用 WHERETO 设计学习经历

用 WHERETO 检查每个活动,并把它们写进页面 brief:

- **W — Where & Why**:学生知道学习要去哪里、为什么值得学。
- **H — Hook**:用真实、有冲突的情境或问题引出基本问题。
- **E — Equip**:用 `slide` 提供建立概念所需的证据与逻辑链。
- **E — Experience**:用 `interactive` 让学生操作、模拟或亲手做出概念。
- **R — Rethink & Revise**:换一个情境让学生重新应用并修正理解。
- **T — Tailor**:为不同起点的学生提供支架与挑战。
- **O — Organize**:页面顺序让理解逐步生成,最后回到基本问题。

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thu-maic/openmaic/understanding-by-design@sha256:75af8be3ec7772b6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.0462157, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
