A Comparative Study Of Two High School Physics Textbooks In Taiwan And Shanghai

Excellent Physics textbooks can not only guide the students to betterunderstanding of the basic physics theory,but also cultivate students’ scientific spiritExcellent Physics textbooks have great advantages on the formation of the students1world outlook and values.At the same time, in favor of the physic teacher’s teachingactivities. The importance of physics textbook is self-evident, so the physics textbookcompiling is the main content of the curricular reform.This thesis based on thecurricular reform of Shanghai and Taiwan from the new century,begin with thecomparison of educational background，period of schooling and high schoolcurriculum system in Shanghai and Taiwan.literature review method, comparativestudy method，content analysis method and other research method are in use.Using the two psychology concept surface-layer structure and deep-layerstructure to analysis the textbook structure,which come from professor Xiajisong ofZhejiang University.In chapter2,compare the Shanghai science edition and TaiwanNan I edition physics textbook at surface-layer structure of externalpresentation.Through the comparison of the content presentation pattern and contentframework between the two textbooks,we have a explicit understanding of theeditorial features and the general content framework.Then in chapter3, take the knowledge of dynamics for example,compare thetwo edition physics textbook at deep-layer structure of content characteristics.Make adiscussion of knowledge and skill elements, humanitarian factor which reflected bythe two edition physics textbooks,draws the following conclusion.In the curriculum requirements and analysis of texts, the Shanghai physicscurriculum standard have less knowledge requirement，the inspiron of physicsthinking is not enough, but focus on the experimental research and application in life.Taiwan syllabus have high requirements of knowledge learning, pay attention to thecultivation of thinking in physics, but not enough attention to physics experiments,and the relationship with reality is not very close.On the content presentation pattern and content framework, through certaincolumns to expand the breadth and depth of physics knowledge. But the South1edition have better inspiron of physics thinking in physical to students, Shanghai Science Edition offers students more autonomy to explore the physical method andmore experience of the physical process of exploration.In the arrangement of expeirment and exercises, Shanghai Science Editionphysics textbooks have a large number of inquiry, veriifcation and other types ofexperiments, to enable students to fully experience the scientific method, the types ofexercises is rich, the degree of diiffculty is basically accord with the standardrequirements of different knowledge points. Taiwan South I edition physicstextbooks, including lot’s of mathematical derivation, ignoring students’ expeirmentalinquiry, the main type of exercises is multiple-choice questions.In chapter4，Make a summary of the two edition physics textbook rfom thetextbook evaluation’s6dimension and give some advices.which provide a referenceto teacher for textbook choose and use,and also helpful to the improve of curriculumstandard and textbook.
