First of all, the author did some trials on the basis of theoretical discussion to make sure that whether this research work can be done and whether it is factually significant, and the results of the trials showed that a system of such guidelines was actually useful. On the basis of the positive results of trial research and the conclusion of literature, the author began to explore some statistical methods for ascertaining the significant guidelines. Questionnaire method was used to investigate the perspectives of some relational people, and several kinds of statistical methods were used to analyze the data. With comparing and selecting, the author found a proper statistical method, which can be used to ascertain unattached guidelines. With logic analysis, some significative guidelines were confirmed. The author thought further and set up a system of guidelines to the evaluation of conditions that science textbooks embody the spirit of science on the basis of foregoing work. The results of the questionnaire and the comparison with the foregoing work showed that the author devised right processes and chose appropriate methods, the research got staggered positive results.
