Extended Essay 拓展论文
The Extended Essay has always been the heart of the IB experience, fostering independent research skills, academic writing, and perseverance. Now, the IB is enhancing the framework to better align with today’s world. While the changes are not broad, they signal a shift that encourages deeper critical thinking, greater flexibility, and more authentic student expression. The changes will help students think across boundaries, sharpen their arguments, and reflect with impact.
IB教育体验的核心，在于培养独立研究能力、学术写作素养与持之以恒的毅力。如今，IB正进一步优化课程框架，使其更贴合当今时代需求。尽管调整幅度不大，却标志着教学理念的重要转变——更强调深度批判性思维、更高灵活性及更具真实性的学术表达。这些革新将助力学生突破思维边界，锤炼论证逻辑，并实现更有影响力的反思与表达。
From May 2027, students can select between two pathways:
- Subject-Focused EE, diving deeply into one subject.
- Interdisciplinary EE, exploring two subjects with guidance from one of five frameworks.
自2027年5月起，学生可从以下两条路径中选择其一完成拓展论文：
- 学科聚焦型论文深入钻研单一学科领域。
- 跨学科论文在五大理论框架指导下，探索两个学科的交叉融合。
This new approach replaces the old World Studies EE, offering a more structured and modern interdisciplinary option. The updates also place greater emphasis on developing a strong line of argument, helping students craft well-supported, critical analyses. Reflection has been simplified in a few different ways:
这一全新路径将取代原有的”世界研究论文”，以更结构化、更现代化的跨学科方案，为学生提供清晰的学术框架。同步优化的评估标准特别强调论证逻辑的严密性，引导学生构建论据充分、批判性的学术分析。反思环节亦通过以下方式实现简化：
- Instead of three separate statements, students now complete a single final reflective statement, while still engaging in three supervisory meetings.
- The new RPF (Reflections on Planning & Progress Form) captures reflection data more efficiently and can be generated per student, for a whole year group, or integrated into portfolios.
- 由原先的三份合并为一份最终反思陈述，学生仍需完成三次导师会议。
- 引入全新的RPF表格，该表格能更高效地记录反思数据，并支持按学生、按年级批量生成，或轻松集成到成长档案里。
For schools, the transition is smooth: new DP1 groups automatically use the updated EE template, while DP2 groups continue with the existing format. Schools can rename projects, access updated assessment criteria in the Assessment Tab, and easily manage reflection data. Archiving the old template after a year keeps planning streamlined and avoids confusion.
在ManageBac+系统上，学校可实现顺利过渡： 新入学的DP1年级将自动启用更新后的专题论文模板，而DP2年级则继续沿用现有格式直至毕业。学校可重新命名项目，点击”评估”按键，查看最新评估标准，并轻松管理反思数据。一年后归档旧模板可使课程规划保持清晰，避免混淆。

CP Updates
CP课程更新
The IB has also released updates to the CP Core Guidance and Procedures, and ManageBac+ is ready to support schools in implementing these changes. These updates apply to CP1 (first-year) students starting now, with the first assessments under the revised guidance taking place in May 2027.
IB更新了《CP核心指南与流程》，ManageBac+ 现已全面适配，为学校落实新指南提供全流程支持。本次更新适用于即日起入学的CP1新生，首次评估将于2027年5月进行。
Key terminology changes include:
- Service Learning is now Community Engagement (CE).
- Language Development is now Language and Cultural Studies (LCS).
- Reflective Project (RP) and Personal and Professional Skills (PPS) keep their names but include updated details.
核心术语调整包括：
- 服务学习更名为社区参与
- 语言发展调整为语言与文化研究
- 反思性项目与个人与专业技能名称不变但内容升级
On ManageBac+, vocabulary, requirements, and learning outcomes have been updated. We are providing:
在ManageBac+平台上，相关术语、要求与学习成果均已同步更新。我们为您提供以下支持：
- Updated PBL templates for LCS and Reflective Project (unless previously edited by schools)
- A new PBL template for PPS
- An updated Service Learning worksheet reflecting Community Engagement requirements, plus an alternate CE PBL template
- Updated Unit Planners for LCS, PPS, and the CP core, as well as new Unit Planners and connected PBL templates for Community Engagement and Reflective Project
- 更新“语言与文化研究”（LCS）和“反思性项目”（RP）的PBL模板（若学校未进行过自定义修改）。
- “个人与专业技能”（PPS）全新模板
- 设计的新版PBL模板。社区参与资源：包含一份根据新要求更新的工作表，以及一个备选的CE主题PBL模板。全面更新的单元计划器：涵盖LCS、PPS及CP核心的单元计划器均已升级；并为“社区参与”和“反思性项目”提供了全新的单元计划器及关联的PBL模板。
Because of the changes, schools will need to run both programmes for one year. CP1 students follow the new guidance, while CP2 students remain on the old framework for their final year. We recommend archiving old templates in one year’s time to avoid confusion when creating new year groups. New schools will automatically receive the updated settings.
由于课程更新，学校需在一年内并行两套课程体系：CP1年级学生遵循新教学大纲，CP2毕业班学生则继续沿用原有框架完成学业。我们建议一年后归档旧版模板，以便在创建新年级时避免疑义。新注册学校将直接获得最新配置。
