Then，the test results，core competence and learning results of the two groups were compared. Results After teaching，the test results of the experimental group was（89.60±2.06），and that of the control group was（79.74±2.60），the difference between the two groups was statistically significant（P<0.05）. In addition，except for the dimension of social participation，the total scores of core literacy and all dimensions of the test group were higher than those of the control group（P<0.05）. The learning results of the experimental group was better than that of the control group（P<0.05）.
