A Research On The Compiling Strategies Of The GX Experiment Textbooks

The GX experiment directed by Prof. Chen Zhongmu has affected the world of mathematics education. The success is partly due to the compilation of a set of experiment textbooks, which embodies the guiding idea "lightening burden, improving quality". The set of textbooks is easy to teach, easy to learn and effective, and is welcomed by teachers and students. What are the compiling strategies of the textbooks? What is the theoretical foundation of compilation? ... These questions receive the attention from the world of mathematics education. In the current basic education reform, the study of the compiling strategies of this set of textbooks is of special significance.The paper made a research on the compiling strategies of the GX experiment textbooks from the following aspects. First, comparing the GX experiment textbooks with the textbooks of the people's education press edition; second, analyzing the development of the GX experiment textbooks; third, investigating the compilers of the GX experiment textbooks and the teachers and students participating in the experiment by samples; fourth, taking the specialties of mathematics with the principles of modern pedagogy and psychology into consideration.The author has proposed the major compiling strategies of the GX experiment textbooks. Firstly, grasp the integral structure when compiling the textbooks and strengthen the relations of the knowledge; secondly, emphasize the presentation of the materials to mobilize the students' cognitive factors; thirdly, surround the core of questions when showing the contents to inspire the students' interest. These strategies accord with not only the characteristics of Mathematics itself, but also the cognitive principles of the students in the compulsory education.In addition, the author attempted to explore the theoretical base of the compiling strategies of the GX experiment textbooks. The author set up a relation frame of compiling the GX experiment textbooks with the core of "lightening burden, improving quality" about arranging system, content selection and material presentation etc.
