An Analysis Of High School Physics Textbooks Based On Constructivism

According to the needing of outstanding personnel in this new era, the basic education curriculum is reforming in our country, in which the textbook reform is an important part. As an important theoretical basis of curriculum reform of basic education in china, constructivist theory should be reflected in the textbooks. The analysis of the textbook based on constructivism theory not only improves the theory and method of textbook research, but also provides guidance for composing and using of textbook. Therefore, textbook analysis based on the constructivism theory attracts the attention of the educational circles. How is constructivism theory introduced to the high school physical textbooks? From the perspective of constructivism, we analyzes the high school physics textbooks in the paper.The study in this paper analyzes the constructivist theory in the high school physics, according to the textbook Ordinary high school curriculum standard experiment textbook-Physics1from PEP. Three aspects of the analysis will be done in this study:The first part is the analysis of textbook structural. This section from constructivism perspective, embodied depth analysis of constructivism thought in surface chapter structure and deep knowledge structure of textbook.The second part is the analysis of textbook presentation. Analysis the context creation, charts insert and layout design are how to embody constructivist thought.The third part is the analysis of textbook content. Specifically addressed the constructivist thought in four aspects:selection and arrangement of textbook content, setting of exploration activities, selection of scientists material, designed of questions and exercises.The research achievements are as follows.(1)Through the study in this paper analyzes the constructivist theory in the high school physics, according to the textbook Ordinary high school curriculum standard experiment textbook-Physics1from PEP, we know:the surface chapter structure and deep knowledge structure of textbook embodies the constructivist view of knowledge and learning. Emphasize complexity, social and comprehensive of knowledge. Highlight the dominant position of students. About the presentation aspects, the textbook use the vivid and rich teaching situation, appropriate insert charts and exquisite layout to help students construct the meaning of knowledge. The section of textbook content consideration of the students’prior knowledge and experience, appropriate setting exploration activities and selecting scientists material. Conductive to culture the spirit and upgrade the comprehensive capabilities.(2)Through the analysis in this paper, the proposals about the using, writing and research direction of textbook are improved, lay the foundation for the future related research. I believe that teachers and students in the using aspect of textbook should be combined the constructivist thought. So teachers and students could on the proper position, efficient use of textbook and help students have a batter development. Textbook writers should pay attention to constructivist thought in the process of writing, making textbooks truly become teaching tools for the convenience of teachers and students. Based on constructivist theory to analyze the the textbooks of high school physics, is a supplement to the modern study of textbook. For analysis of the future high school physics textbooks provides a theoretical perspective. Holding some significance for high school physics teaching. In the future study, we can be in-depth from different versions of textbook, different research methods, and so on.
