A Comparative Study On The Primary Mathematics Textbooks Published By People's Education Press And Zhejiang Education Press

As one of the textbooks approved by the state,the primary mathematics textbooks compiled by Zhejiang Education Press has condensed half of Zhang Tianxiao's life.Its distinctive features and emphasis on thinking training have brought new vitality to the primary mathematics textbooks.It is in sharp contrast with the old authoritative textbook published by People's Education Press.Through the comparison and analysis of different versions of textbooks,it can promote the compilation,selection and use of textbooks to a certain extent.Based on this,this study takes the primary mathematics textbooks published by people's education press and the zhejiang education press as the research object,and first compares and analyzes the macroscopic aspects of the two editions of the textbook,namely the compilation concept,by the method of literature review,content analysis and comparison.Taking the content of the field of "number and algebra" as an example,this paper compares and analyzes the microcosmic aspects of the two editions of textbooks,namely the content structure of textbooks,the presentation mode of textbooks,the setup of the examples and exercises,and the mathematical culture.The similarities between the two versions of textbooks are as follows: the reference basis of compilation of textbooks is the same;Selecting the same content;The design of textbooks pays attention to the connection with the life.The differences between the two editions of textbooks are as follows: the compilation ideas of textbooks have different emphases;the differences in content arrangement and organization of textbooks are obvious;The presentation mode of the textbooks has its own merits;The examples' situation designing way of the textbooks is different;The difficulty of exercises in the two editions of textbook is different;The history of mathematics is arranged differently.Finally,combined with teaching practice and interview,the compilation of zhejiang educational edition textbook should pay attention to: reduce the difficulty of the textbook appropriately;Strengthen the cultivation of self-evaluation consciousness;Add mathematics history content.The compilation of peoples educational edition textbook should pay attention to: Update teaching content timely by incorporating into thinking exercises;Strengthen the integrity of the situation design of teaching materials.When using textbooks,teachers should pay attention to: study textbooks and understand the internal logical structure of textbooks systematically;Design the teaching content reasonably based on the best development area of students;Improve teaching ability by studying.Due to the limitation of many factors,this study still has some shortcomings,such as no interviews with the compilers of the textbooks,no in-depth questionnaires on the compilation and use of the two editions of the textbooks themselves,and no evaluation of the comprehensive difficulty of the two editions of the textbooks,which need to be further explored in future research.
