Comparative Study Of Two Sets Of Current Physics Textbooks For Senior High School In Yan’an

With the continuous deepening of new curriculum reform of physics for Chinese senior high school, the kinds of physics textbooks for senior high school increases gradually, thus forming the situation of “one standard corresponds to several versions”, therefore, it is obviously important for the study of these textbooks and mastering their advantages and disadvantages to contribute to new curriculum reform better. In the paper, taking two sets of current physics textbooks for senior high school in Yan’an as study object, two sets of texbooks are studied comparatively using methods such as references study method, comparative study method, survey study method and statistic analysis method, thus putting forward a series of effective suggestions for the selection, use and writing of textbooks.Five pars are concluded in the paper: the first is introduction. The contents of this part mainly contain the background, aim, meaning, current situation, thoughts and methods, study situation of physics textbooks for senior high school at home and abroad are compared, the disadvantages are discussed, and based on the above, the basic frames of the study are outlined; the second is the comparison of knowledge structures of two versions of textbooks. In this part, taking the “ contents’ standard” of new curriculum as reference, the knowledge contents and chapter arrangement’ order of two textbooks are comparatively, thus obtaining the features of each version of textbook; the third is the comparison of presented means of two textbooks. In this part, detailed data statistics and comparison analysis are mainly conducted from columns, tables and figures and exercises, thus obtaining the different points of presented means of two textbooks; the fourth is the questionnaire survey of two textbooks’ adequacy. The contents of this part mainly conlude the confirmation of survey objects, the making, tests of questionnaries and the statistics analysis of survey results; the fifth is study conclusions and improved suggestions. In this part, summing up the above comparison and obtained conclusions, the following suggestions for two textbooks are put fordward:People Educational Press(PEP) textbook: first, increasing the contents and the chapter of classical mechanics; secondly, increasing the columns’ number, inserting the figures and tables which are interesting, thus increasing the interestingness of textbook, and the balance of the number of each kinds of columns, figures and tables, exercises should be ensured; thirdly, review exercises after chapter should be increased, thus being helpful for the summary of students; fourthly, improving the students to participate in and build the knowledge actively and organize textbooks using critical thoughts; fifthly, in the textbook, we should attach more importance to the cultivation of emotional experience for students; sixthly, the hierarchy of textbook contents should be increased, thus adapting to the requirements of different students.Shanghai Science and Educational Press textbook: first, the knowledge density of each chapter should be increased, increasing procedure knowledge, increasing one section about the knoeledge of curvilinear motion before horizontal projective motion, and adjusting the situation of law of gravitation and law of conservation; secondly, the more figures that reflects regional customs should be inserted, thus increasing the universality of concluded contents of figures and tables, adding data, figures and tables that are related with study to strengthen the building of procedure knowledge; thirdly, promoting students to participate in and build the knowledge actively and organize textbooks using critical thoughts; fourthly, the stimulation of the exploration desire of students should be focused on, and providing the opportunities of practice for students combined with the practice of life.
