A Comparative Study Of The "Physics" Textbooks Of The High School Of People's Education And The "Concept Physics" Of The United States

The development of new era is inseparable from the construction of talent team,and the training of talents is inseparable from basic education.In school education,teaching materials are the main materials for students to learn,and they are good media for students to understand nature and develop.Physics is the principle of all things,and it is the scientific foundation and premise for students to understand the world.In addition,the education and economy of the developed countries are worthy of our study.This paper compares the physical teaching materials between the United States and our country,and draws the difference between the two countries’ physical teaching materials and recognizes the advantages and disadvantages of the two countries’ textbooks so that they can learn from each other better.Through the introduction of the mainstream physics teaching materials in China and the United States,the background,significance and theory of the comparison are studied.Through the research methods of textbook analysis and teaching materials contrast,the comparison of the two textbooks is made from the theoretical basis of the two textbooks,the setting of the chapter,the column setting,the comparison of the text and the comparison of the comparison between the examples and the exercises.In theory,this article is based on the theoretical basis of Piaget’s cognitive development theory,humanistic learning theory,constructivist learning theory and other educational psychology,and analyzes the textbooks of the two countries.According to the different ideas of teaching materials,we can see that the teaching material is a "concentric circle" model,and the American "concept physics" is a "spiral" development model.Combined with the idea of "combination of numbers and shapes",we can make a good comparison of the two textbooks.The concept physics textbook focuses on the understanding and development of physical concepts.In the first chapter of the chapter,from the three aspects of the first picture,the story telling and the philosophy,we find that the pictures of the American textbooks are more and more practical,or directly contact the knowledge points,or contact the scientists to explore the lawof science.In the design of textbook columns,the content of the main body of American concept physics is much more.In the setting of the text of the textbook,taking the part of mechanical and electromagnetics as an example,its content and concept are more comprehensive and rich,and it pays attention to practice.Science and life and society have extensive connections.The contents of the teaching materials are set together,the calculation of physical formulas and complexity is less,the language is easy to understand and the explanation is vivid.In the examples of teaching materials and the setting of exercises,the teaching materials of concept physics in the United States are very difficult,but the examples and the types of exercises are more abundant and interesting.They have specific guidance exercises for students of different learning levels,which are in line with the cognitive level of students at the present stage.The high school physics textbooks in China’s people’s education press set up the first chapter at the beginning of each chapter,which is rich in philosophy and thought-provoking.It helps to cultivate students’ emotion,attitude and values.There are many columns in physics textbooks for people’s education press in the design of textbooks.There are many columns,from the aspects of inspiring students,teacher experiments,student experiments,introducing technology frontiers,practicing life and society,and introducing celebrities.In the text setting of the textbook,whether it is the mechanical part or the electromagnetics part,the senior high school teaching material in our country pays more attention to the physics experiment teaching.Through the different experimental courses,it will stimulate the students’ interest in thinking and the ability of hands-on operation,and help to cultivate the good habits of the students to study actively in the critical period of the students’ study.In the example of the textbook and the setting of the exercises,the teaching material of our country is more difficult,and the test exam is the main test,the problem of the problem is relatively high,but the number of the questions is less.We cannot teach students well in accordance with their aptitude.Through contrastive study of the American concept physics and the textbook of high school physics,we hope it can help improve and improve physics textbooks in senior high schools.
