A Comparative Study Of High School Physics Textbooks In Guangdong And Hong Kong

Since the fall of the year 2004, the experiments of new curriculums were carrying out the around the senior high schools, until recently, all regions of China’s mainland has basically became a new curriculums reforming experimental zone. On the premise of all the experimental zones got a unified standard of the curriculums, reediting or choosing different style curriculums were allowed and encouraged in each experimental zone. As the teaching material is the most basic, the most important and the most representative resources of the curriculums; so the teaching materials should be adapted to the concepts and the objectives of the curriculums. Under such settings, to edit a series of excellent teaching materials, makes it helpful to the studying of the students, makes it helpful to develop a triple objectives of the curriculums, makes it helpful to the development of the entire curriculums, thus is the topic what we educators need to consider and research. In order to fulfill this thesis, so as to gain the objectives of the research, the writer has compared the new experimental senior high school physics textbooks which are being used in Guangdong Province and Hong Kong area. Comparing and learning from each other, so as to provide some meaningful suggestions for bettering the experiments of new curriculums.This paper has used document analysis, description, comparative analysis etc., to analyze the two sets of textbooks. The main contents of the article is divided:(1) comprehends and compares the education science, compares the background, the property, the idea, the objectives of the two kinds textbooks, finding a foundation for the comparison of the textbook content. (2) compares the structures, the styles, the materials, the experiments in books, the exercises, of the text books. (3) summarizes the distinctive characters of the two different textbooks, provides a number of recommendations for the first front teachers at how to using the textbooks, meanwhile, gives a number of recommendations on how to edit the better experiment textbooks under the new curriculums conditions.
