Comparison Of The New And Old Versions Of Physics Textbooks On Electrotechnics And Electronics In Secondary Vocational School

Recently, it has been emphasized that the vocational education should be oriented tothe public and whole society. The country will energetically advocate the development ofvocational education. So vocational education has been boomed, and the transform ofphysics course is being well promoted in secondary vocational or technical education.The development of textbooks is closely related to the development of society. In thisnew period, new requirement has been set to the physics textbooks. The analysis of thenew and old textbooks, which has been adopted in secondary vocational school, willcontribute to understanding the theory of new courses for teachers, to successful reforms ofnew courses, and to how to use the new textbooks successfully.In my study, several methods, such as literature review, questionnaire, statisticalanalysis, have been used. Besides, new physics textbooks of vocational school have beencompared with the old ones. The key points are just as follows:First,"The Syllabus of Secondary Vocational School Physics Education (TEST)",which is promulgated by Ministry of Education in2009, has been compared with theversion in2009from many aspects, such as the course essence and tasks, the course goals,the structure of teaching content, implement of teaching, examination and assessingbetween two syllabuses.Second, we have compared two textbooks which were written according to twosyllabuses. One is the "Physics (Advanced)"I,II,published by People's Education Press in 2001, and the other is the "Physics (Electrical&Electronic)". Moreover, we havecompared two books from the structure and teaching contents, and have explored how newtextbooks embody the idea of new courses. We attempt to use the teaching strategiesaddressed by new syllabuses in the way of cases.Third, we have done the questionnaire to the physics teachers of secondary vocationalschool in Suzhou Region. The questionnaire includes dimensions of knowledge, law ofdevelopment, the ability of compiling, feasibility, integrated project, so that we wouldknow the opinions of frontline teachers.At last, based on the comparison and investigation in this paper, the writer has giventhe overall view of the new textbook.
