Editor's review

Leading Project 16 Questions is a systematic review and in-depth explanation of the core concept of the "leading project" in regional educational research, based on author Pan Guoqing's years of practice in educational research management. This is not a general work of educational theory but a highly practical "methodological guide." It precisely addresses a widespread concern in regional educational research: how to establish a core project that can lead the overall situation and, like one move in chess that affects the whole board, influence everything else. Using 16 key questions as threads, Pan analyzes layer by layer, from "What is a leading project?" and "How to select a topic and establish a project?" to "How to advance implementation and summarize and refine findings?" constructing a logically rigorous practical framework. Its value lies in translating abstract principles of research management into concrete paths and strategies, reflecting the author's deep practical wisdom and capacity for theoretical reflection. For readers, the book's most prominent value lies in its strong "problem-oriented" and "solution-oriented" character, which can effectively help educational administrators and research backbone personnel move beyond trivial matters, focus on the core, and enhance the foresight and systematicness of research planning and leadership. The writing is plain, the examples are detailed, and it avoids the obscurity common in academic works, making professional thinking clear and tangible.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Regional educational research administrators (e.g., researchers at academies/institutes of educational science, research supervisors in education bureaus)
  • School leaders and research office directors responsible for educational research in primary and secondary schools
  • Backbone teachers committed to leading school or subject development through project research
  • Graduate students in educational management at normal universities and practice-oriented researchers

Not a good fit for

  • Frontline teachers seeking specific subject teaching techniques or classroom activity designs
  • General readers with no interest in educational management or macro-level research planning

Reading tips

  1. It is recommended to first read through the 16 questions to establish an overall framework, then select relevant chapters for close reading and reflection based on current bottlenecks in one's own work.
  2. While reading, compare the content with project plans currently being planned or carried out in one's region or school, and try using the book's analytical framework for diagnosis and optimization.
  3. Pay special attention to the case analyses and tool templates provided in the book; these are bridges connecting theory and practice and are highly valuable for reference.

FAQ

Is this book highly theoretical? Is it difficult to understand?
The theoretical discussion in this book is accessible and closely tied to practice, and the language is plain. It focuses more on providing practical frameworks and strategies than on pure theoretical deduction, so readers with some experience in educational research practice should be able to understand it well.
Which educational stage does the book mainly target?
Although the concept of the "leading project" originates in regional educational research management, its core ideas and methods (such as focusing on the core, systematic planning, and leading development) are universal. The cases in the book mostly involve basic education, so it has important reference value for administrators and researchers at all stages of basic education.
Can this book directly help me design a project proposal?
This book mainly addresses "strategic-level" issues of topic selection, positioning, and planning, rather than the "tactical-level" writing of a specific proposal. It can help you judge whether a project has "leading" potential and guide you in top-level design and systematic advancement, serving as an important prerequisite and guide for designing high-quality project proposals.

About the author

潘国青 Author

Pan Guoqing is an author about whom limited public information is available, known mainly from bylines on education-related books. Three of his works are included in the collection, all focused on school-based educational research. Judging from the available titles, his writing centers on how primary and secondary school and kindergarten teachers can carry out educational research. Representative works include Ten Tips for Managing School Educational Research, Sixteen Questions on Leading Research Projects, and Helping Teachers Become Research Experts. These titles reveal a strongly practical orientation: using concise forms such as "tips" and "questions," they break down research management, project design, and the development of teachers' research skills into actionable steps and issues, in plain language that frontline educators can readily apply. As details of the author's life, nationality, and positions cannot be verified, this introduction is limited to an objective account of his works' subject matter and style, without further speculation.

杨四耕 Author

Yang Sigeng: publicly available information is limited, and his identity and personal history are not recorded in the library's holdings. Judging from the twelve works collected here, however, he has long focused on curriculum and teaching reform in basic education, writing for schools and teachers. His subjects center on school curriculum change, curriculum clusters, core-competency-oriented assignment design, project-based learning, and classroom research. Representative works include Breaking Through the Hodgepodge: Logical School Curriculum Change, Curriculum Clusters: A Deep Focus on Learning, Core-Competency-Oriented Assignment Design, and The Classroom Is an Attitude. His approach is practice-oriented, combining curriculum theory with school cases to offer workable ideas for curriculum planning, project research, and instructional design, making his books a useful reference for curriculum development and professional reading in primary and secondary schools.

崔春华 Author

Cui Chunhua is an author about whom limited public information is currently available. The only known work is 16 Questions on Leading Research Projects (Longtou Ket i 16 Wen), which is classified under education. Judging from the title, the book is likely to focus on “leading research projects” in educational research, using a question-and-answer format to address common concerns of frontline educators in areas such as topic selection, project design, implementation, and summary. Because only this one work is included in the database, it is not possible to confirm the author’s nationality, dates of birth and death, professional background, or other writing experience, nor to determine whether the author is a full-time researcher or a practitioner in education. Based on the available information, Cui Chunhua’s writing appears to be practical and problem-oriented, seeking to organize key aspects of educational research through a clear question-based structure and to offer readers workable approaches. Such subject matter is typically aimed at primary and secondary school teachers, teaching-research staff, and educational administrators, emphasizing the integration of research awareness into everyday teaching practice. Given the limited materials, a fuller assessment of the author’s overall style and academic influence is difficult, and readers may learn more about the author’s expressive features and focus by consulting the specific contents of 16 Questions on Leading Research Projects.
