The Comparative Study Of High School Chemistry Textbooks Between China And South Korea

Under the same international curriculum reform's background, various countries has carried on the new-round chemistry curriculum reform in abundance. Our country in profits from the curriculum reform experience's foundation of Japan, Britain and so on, has promulgated "the standard criteria of the ordinary high school"; and the South Korea promulgated "the science and education curriculum" on the basis of the reform experience of western developed countries and started the 7th curriculum reform in 1997.In the chemistry curriculum reform of our country, outside chemistry curriculum's comparative research is our country chemistry curriculum reform foundation and the textbook comparative research is for the purpose to profit from the success of the overseas curriculum reform, to absorb the essence and to provide the reference for our country's textbook construction.This research selected representative high school's chemistry textbook from china and South Korea's new-round curriculum, which means the high school chemistry textbook published by our country's people education publishing house and the South Korea central education. Promotion research institutes publication high school chemistry textbook. The author used the method of literature survey, interview, data statistics, and contrast research to give an origin anguses, which means that the two country's textbook's history and the research background and judgment, also the main parts-structure and content of the comparison research, has drawn the following conclusion:1. Our high school chemistry textbook experienced from "production center" to "the course knowledge center" and "social problem center", again arrived at overall evolution: the south Korean high school chemistry textbook experienced from "subject center" to "life center "and "knowledge center" to "people oriented center". We can see that the two high school chemistry textbook research and development process is similar.2. China uses 2 plus 6 selective modules; South Korea adoptes a comprehensive to divided science subjects.3. Although South Korea's first curriculum reform began four years ahead than China, the background of course of reform is similar, e.g., taking the construct theory as the guiding ideology, taking the scientific literacy of students-curriculum reform, taking the concept of scientific inquiry as a breakthrough. Two high school chemistry textbooks reflect the same concept.4. The study shows the same and the different points.(1) Strengthen the scientific exploration activities and the level of systemic of our high school chemistry textbooks.(2) Increase STS-related the contents of the textbooks.(3) Explore awareness of the students' tapping Textbook exercises.(4) Mine the local curriculum and school-based curriculum resources.(5) Enhance the quality and the types of illustrations.(6) Increase the necessary index.
