 Abstract 

 

The PAD Class (Presentation-Assimilation-Discussion), proposed by Professor Zhang Xuexin in Fudan University, is a new paradigm for classroom teaching combining strengths of lecturing and discussion. With half class time allocated for teacher's presentation and the other half for students' discussion, an assimilation stage is inserted between presentation and discussion for independent and individualized learning with a purpose to stimulate the in-depth learning. Taking ground in Chinese philosophy, the paradigm, based on psychological and pedagogical rationales, has earned its effectiveness in enhancing active learning and popularity in China and deserves to be introduced, further analyzed and known by the world for its innovation and contribution to education.
