A Comparative Study Of Current Chinese And Russian High School Physics Textbooks

Education as a hundred-year plan for our country.Cultivating outstanding talents is even more necessary for the development of the times,and a strong education is a strong country.In school education.Teaching materials are an important medium for students to understand the world and play an important instrumental role in the learning process.They are an important carrier of scientific ideas,scientific methods,scientific ethics and scientific knowledge for each subject set.Spreading the scientific culture of each subject,and at the same time reflecting the educational culture of the country.In the context of today’s educational reform,textbook reform is a key element of curriculum reform.Textbook comparisons can facilitate teaching evaluation,inherit and learn from the writing styles of excellent textbooks,and discard faulty textbook content.This article takes the international science education reform as the background,by comparing the secondary school physics curriculum standards in China and Russia,and by using the textbook comparison method and textbook analysis method and other research methods from the perspective of secondary school education researchers.A comparison of the structure and content of the Russian version of the high school physics textbook and the human version of the high school physics textbook.And to select two classical high school physics lessons The two classical high school physics lessons "Coulomb’s Law" and "Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy" are used as case studies to compare the strengths and weaknesses of the two textbooks from multiple perspectives and dimensions,so as to learn from each other better.Firstly,a comparative analysis of the framework structure,curriculum objectives and curriculum content of the physics curriculum standards between Russia and China reveals that the framework structure of the Russian physics curriculum standards is concise,while the Chinese physics curriculum standards are relatively detailed.In terms of curriculum objectives,the Russian curriculum objectives are described on the basis of the double foundation,while the Chinese curriculum objectives are developed from multiple dimensions on the basis of the total score;in terms of curriculum content.The Russian curriculum focuses more on the systematic nature of the subject,while the Chinese curriculum focuses more on the logical nature of students’ thinking.Secondly,this paper makes a comparative analysis of the three dimensions of chapter beginning setting,column setting and chapter end setting.In terms of the setting of the chapter head.The Russian version of the textbook is more specific in the text of the chapter head,while the People’s Education Edition of the textbook is more attractive in the picture of the chapter head.In the column setting.the Russian edition of the textbook column is relatively monotonous.The People’s Education Edition of the textbook column is rich,can arouse students’ interest.In the setting of the end of chapter.the Russian version of the textbook arranges "experiment" and "design",which can improve students’ practical ability.The teaching version of the textbook is relatively monotonous and only sets the end-of-chapter review questions.Thirdly,the two textbooks are compared in terms of points of knowledge,illustrations,examples and post-lesson exercises.The comparison reveals that both editions are organised in a chapter-based structure.Compared to the Russian textbook,the Human Education version is more logical and fits into the students’ cognitive structure,which is conducive to their mastery of knowledge.The chapters of the Russian version are not separate but are coherent and the mechanics and electricity are presented more systematically.In terms of column types.People’s Education Edition columns are rich in variety and functional.In terms of exercise setting.The number of exercises in the two editions is roughly the same,while the Russian edition exercises and the content of the textbook are slightly more difficult,which is conducive to cultivating students’ creative thinking.In terms of experiment content and quantity,People’s Education Edition have more advantages in quantity arrangement,while Russian textbooks pay more attention to the integration of physics history and scientific feelings into experiments.Finally,two representative cases from the two sets of textbooks are compared and contrasted to find the similarities and differences between the two versions of the same knowledge once they are developed.
