The document proposes a "teaching cell" approach to provide online supplemental education for rural Chinese students. It aims to address issues with public schools in rural areas like large class sizes and differences from standardized tests. The teaching cell approach would feature evolution, intellectuality, openness and micromation to help rural students. Future research is needed to study the effectiveness of the teaching cell approach compared to typical online learning.

2. Wrap-up for Chinese rural education
• Public school & class size
• Impoverished & education quality
• Standardized test & local differences

3. Issues & Problems up to now
• Most aimed at college students
• Different curriculum
• Effectiveness

4. Introduction for “teaching cell”
• Definition
• Features

5. Research Question & Hypothesis
Purpose: To introduce and propose the “teaching cell”
approach in providing an online supplement to Chinese
rural area students.
• RQ: Does the “teaching cell” approach provide a helpful
supplement to Chinese rural area students?
• Hypothesis:The “teaching cell” approach provides a
helpful supplement to Chinese rural area students.

6. Evolutionary Feature

7. Intellectuality Feature

8. Openness & Micromation

9. Conclusion
• The “teaching cell” approach has the potential for successfully supplementing Chinese
public school education.
– Four main features
• Future research
– Based on these features of teaching cell, the next step is a study comparing results of
learning from using the teaching cell online learning pedagogy vs. results of learning
from typical online pedagogy.The results of the study will reflect the new proposed
teaching cell pedagogy is effective or not. In addition, future research will need to focus
on the structure of the teaching cell, and optimal teaching cell structures and processes
will need to be discerned.
