A Comparative Study Of Primary School Mathematics Textbooks Between Zhejiang Education Edition And PEP Edition

Mathematics textbooks provide students with a knowledge framework and learning methods,and are important resources for knowledge acquisition and classroom teaching.Therefore,the use of different versions of textbooks in different regions must have a significant impact on the performance of the learning of students.This research chooses Zhejiang Educational Press and Peoples Educational Press as the comparative object.Taking "Four Operations of Scores" as an example,it explores the similarities and differences between the two editions by using the methods of literature,comparative research and interview.This study draws the following conclusions:1.The conclusion of the horizontal dimension analysis and comparison of the two editions of textbooksGenerally speaking,the four fractional operation of fraction is arranged according to the structure of unit with subject-example-exercise,but the specific structures are different.With regard to the four fractional operation of fraction in the textbook of Zhejiang Education Press,it pays more attention to the understanding of arithmetic.It mainly embodies the study of fraction in advance,the open design of the examples,and the diversified analysis of the arithmetic.The number of exercises in the textbook from People Education Press is more than that in Zhejiang Education Press,and it is more inclined to the consolidation of the arithmetic.2.The conclusion of the longitudinal dimension analysis and comparison between the two editions of textbooksThe process and method knowledge of the two editions of textbooks are quite different.The differences are mainly about the content arrangement of fraction multiplication and division.From four representational forms,the textbooks of Zhejiang Educational Press mainly focuses on the joint form,while the textbooks of People Educational Press focuses more on the mathematical form and the literal form.From the point of view of cognitive needs,people's Education Press textbook exercises are mainly low-level cognitive needs,focusing on the consolidation of basic knowledge,whileZhejiang Educational Press textbook exercises have two cognitive needs,design open exercises,and focus on the cultivation of thinking.From the type of answer,the two editions of textbooks mainly require only one answer type,and the Zhejiang Educational Press has more process explanation type than the People Educational Press.People Education Press textbooks are more focused on situational teaching,while Zhejiang Education Press textbooks are more closely related to knowledge before and after.3.According to the survey,most teachers think that the knowledge arrangement of Zhejiang Educational Press textbooks pays more attention to systematization,strong variant thinking,the training of thinking ability,and the cultivation ability,compared to people Educational Press textbooks.In order to press close to life,People Educational Press textbooks work on helping the students to improve their flexibility in calculating the Four Scores and to enhance their basic knowledge.Considering that the two different editions of the textbooks above have their own characteristics on the content arrangement of four arithmetic operation of fraction,we put forward the following suggestion in order to better compile and use them.On the one hand,teachers need to understand the textbooks firstly and then conduct in-depth study on the textbooks.On the other hand,teachers should strengthen the arithmetic operations and cultivate students' thinking ability during the teaching process of four arithmetic operations of the fraction.In addition,it is significant important to build a communication platform of“teachers-textbooks-compilers”.
