A Comparative Study Of Chinese And American High School Function Content Illustrations

Textbook illustration is an important part except the writing materials,which is composed of a piece of beautiful,deep and clear pictures and composition or form,is the explanation or description of the teaching contents,text is simply unable to do so.Textbook illustration design is good and bad for the enthusiasm of students learning,cognition and understanding,and the cultivation of thinking ability,emotion and learning effect;for teachers’ cognition and understanding of teaching materials,education level of play and interact with students;how to teaching reform in education reform,whether it reflects the quality education plays a vital role.In order to textbook can play a better role,this study from the quantity,the content of textbook illustrations,three aspects of Sino US higher mathematics function part of the illustration makes a comparative study on the statistics,in order to find out the connection and difference between them.The purpose of this study is through comparison,let China illustration design mathematics teaching materials absorb the excellent part of American mathematics textbook illustration design in the embodiment of national culture on the basis of insufficient part of our illustration design is improved,which makes the design and application of Chinese mathematics textbook illustrations can have good results.The research methods are literature method,survey method and comparative research method to Chinese required a high school mathematics education edition and America LittellGlencoe McGraw-Hill a function of the illustration makes a comparative study on the classification and the function of the number of text illustrations by statistics and analysis and illustration content to reveal the function part of the use of Mathematics textbooks illustration of the overall condition and quality characteristics.The results of the study are: the number of distribution on the Chinese Education Edition and American LittellGlencoe McGraw-Hill high function illustrations,distribution and content distribution and distribution function were compared after they found that there are many comparable,but can also be seen from these different cultural differences between the two countries and the two countries in the textbook where the respective focus on where.Specifically embodied in: 1.in the number of illustrations of the difference.The total number of illustrations of American textbook more,in the statistical illustrations found in the United States are also more than Chinese textbook chapters materials;2.illustrations distribution differences between China and the United States,a high content in the textbook function set and algebra,function chapters have designed many illustrations.But the basic nature of "Chinese" function,"in the teaching of function and equation" section design illustrations more,American textbook "equation and inequality","function model to solve practical problems" section design illustration of the number of more;3.from the illustration of the position,the same number of Chinese and American textbook chapter homepage design.Each chapter of a first chapter.In this paper,and column chart and graph design is different number two;4.illustrations from the content point of view,in addition to all the materials in the two countries using the structure less than the other four types,both illustrations used more,slightly higher than that of the United States which figures and historical materials,the American textbook class more than Chinese materials,and figure China materials than America structure materials;5.from the illustration function,the characterization of the two textbooks illustrations respectively to 48.5% and 43.3% the proportion of the highest;and the proportion of type two illustrations were 5.9% and 2.8%,compared with the lowest.
