Since its establishment in 2013, JinJiang Foreign Language Primary School has faced challenges including a large student population, high teacher turnover, and difficulties in implementing kindergarten-primary transition initiatives. Guided by national policies and practical considerations, the Character Education Research Group, adhering to the educational philosophy of "Kuan Ling Zhuo He" (meaning broad-mindedness, agility, excellence, and harmony) and the integration of five educations (moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor), and upholding the principle of nurturing both virtue and mind to enrich life, focused on children's adaptation in four key areas: physical and psychological adaptation, life adaptation, social adaptation, and learning adaptation. Based on theoretical foundations including human-centeredness, socio-cultural adaptation theory, the principle of appropriateness, and the principle of integrated evaluation, the group explored the development of an integrated kindergarten-primary transition curriculum from a character education perspective. This exploration centered on four aspects: Suitable (appropriate activities), Adaptive (cultivating an adaptive culture), Appropriate (appropriate home-school collaboration), and Adaptable (evaluation adaptable to individual children). Through two rounds of action research spanning two years, the curriculum was implemented via four pathways: educating through activities, educating through culture, educating through collaboration, and educating through evaluation. This process established a distinctive kindergarten-primary transition curriculum system characteristic of our school.
