Under the guidance of student-oriented and teacher-led teaching philosophy, heuristic teaching centers on provoking students' thoughts and advocates that teachers should arouse their enthusiasm and initiative in learning starting from the actual situation and in strict accordance with teaching tasks and the objective laws of learning. A string of new forms and features now label the heuristic teaching amid the implementation of new curriculum reform. Specifically, teachers improve students' ability to locate and solve problems, and cultivate their skills of cooperation, autonomous learning, and innovation through feasible inspiration and instructions. Middle and primary schools in rural areas, however, suffer from backward teaching amid the full swing of the new curriculum reform. In that case, teachers are obliged to dissect the problem and better the relatively lagging thought-provoking teaching through several paths.
