The textbook is the main carrier of the teaching content. Junior secondary students studying chemistry initiation stage, the possibility of drafting a chemical introductory textbook for students’cognitive level and interest, plays a vital role in the future students in chemistry learning. The comparative study of the Chinese and the American chemical introductory textbook to learn from the experience of the American textbook writing, it is necessary.In this paper, comparative study, literature research, case studies are used, on the basis of described the course of the reform and the status quo of Chinese compulsory education in chemistry textbooks, and the American chemical education reform and the status of the teaching materials, comparison study the chemistry curriculum standards, scientific explorers "of the U.S. junior high school science textbooks in chemistry part and the People’s Education Press published the junior high school chemistry textbook" Chemistry "(2006, hereinafter referred to as" PEP) two sets of chemical structure of the introductory textbook, structure, content, experimental design and explore activities, exercises, illustrations, and two sets of textbooks implication the scientific method, analyze of the characteristics and shortcomings of the two sets of textbooks in China and the United States, proposed recommendations of the compilation of teaching materials: Unity and Diversity combining presentation, focusing on scientific inquiry and organization, teaching materials to enhance mutual penetration between the disciplines, the experimental content more life. |
