A Comparative Study On The Experiments Of Chinese And Korean Senior High School Physics Textbooks

With the development, countries are constantly engaged in curriculum reform. Carried out in China in 2001, the 8th curriculum reform was began, South Korea also conducted the 8th curriculum in 2007. Textbook as an important part of the course, it communicated between teachers and students as a bridge. Textbook reform reflects the most advanced educational theory in various countries. Physics experiment is the basis of the physics establish, which play a key role in the formation of scientific literacy of students, This paper compares the experimental parts of the Korean high school physics textbook and Chinese high school physics textbook, founded that the advantages between two textbook in order to learn from the advantages for our country.This paper elaborate the history of curriculum reform and high school physics curriculum standards in China and Korean by using literature and comparison. By comparing the experimental part of China and South Korea physics textbooks, the paper not only compare the surface and deep structure of the experimental part of the textbook, but also qualitative and quantitative research using a combination of approaches, quantitative analysis and text analysis and comparison, draw the following conclusion:(1) ConclusionFirst, considering the number and the distribution of the experiment, the two countries textbooks attach great importance to the mechanical and electrical experiments, both the experiments have, a higher proportion of all the experiments in textbooks, especially they both make the most difficult part atoms placed in grade three. The difference is that although the total number of the Korean experiment more than China, but the compulsory part of the experiment in Chinese textbooks is much larger than South Korea, which make a high basic physics demanding for students.Second, considering the experimental architecture, two countries have adopted a variety of experimental methods, demonstration, validation experiments, investigations to extracurricular experiments. But the difference is that our exploratory experiments have a less proportion of exploratory experiments than Korea, but better than South Korea on the inquiry, the students can do self-experiment design, not scripted.Third, considering the choice of experimental equipment, experimental equipment between the two countries are aware of the importance in daily life, but the difference is the implementation of the two countries, the situation is different, experimental equipment in South Korea physics textbook selection closer to the daily life.Forth, considering the illustrations and language of the experiments, the two experiments are illustrated experimental exploration of the phenomenon of prejudice, illustrations show the experimental results, in language more closely tied to the two countries have adopted the language of the students. The difference is that Korean textbooks, pay more attention to experimental people-oriented illustrations, illustration not based on experimental equipment as the main but by students as the main show, and a high proportion of photo illustrations, more than the Chinese textbooks with scientific rigor.Fifth, onsidering the scientific literacy training, the emphasis on China and South Korea are established by the experiment method of physical science students and scientific view, the difference is between the two countries due to the experimental exploration of the textbook open to varying degrees, for the presentation of scientific methods and types are also different,in Experimental life, and other aspects of cutting-edge science to promote students to generate concept also has subtle differences.(2) EnlightenmentFirst, from the view of physical experiments, two countries are different of the use of curriculum resources. China has more diverse use of curriculum resources, more emphasis on the DISLab. Chinese textbook's research experiment pay more attention than the South Korean.but compared to South Korea, China still need improvements. While maintaining our high open degree of physical exploratory experiments, exploratory more experimental content, in order to promote student interest in learning and students experimental skills.Second, considering of the textbook, the two countries have adopted the spiral-type materials prepared way, but still have some different on the compulsory stage of high school physics experiments part of the preparation of textbooks. Especially in the organization and arrangement of course, our country need some improvements. We need some new organizations, make more part of experimental physics textbook case of the use of scientific method.Third, from the view of scientific literacy, China and South Korea have focused on experiments.for students to develop scientific literacy. But South Korean textbook has more daily life things than China, Thereby increasing the proportion of real-life contact with experiment equipment n, language make closer to the students, illustrations have more picture than cartoon.
