A Comparative Study Of The Experimental Part Of Two Sets Of High School Physics Textbooks In China And Germany

A wide view of the chinese elementary education curriculum reform,we can certainly find that it is based on international comparison.we can continuously improve our elementary education through the international comparison,reference and reform of the curriculum,.As an important part of the curriculum,the textbook is the most direct embodiment of the curriculum concept,objectives and requirements,and is an important contents of the curriculum reform.Therefore,the comparative analysis and evaluation between Chinese and foreign middle school textbooks has become a hot spot for educators.After consulting a large amount of literature,the author found that more scholars only conduct qualitative and comparative research on Chinese and foreign middle school textbooks,and less focus on quantitative research and lack of sufficient theoretical support.In the comparative study of Chinese and foreign middle school physics textbooks,only involved in the textbooks between China,and USA,China and Japan,rarely compare the textbooks with European countries.Physical experiment is the foundation of physics and an important part of high school physics teaching.It plays a key role in cultivating students’ scientific thinking,inquiry ability and scientific attitude.The newly revised f,High School Physics Curriculum Standards(2017 Edition)" emphasizes the importance of experimental teaching and puts forward new requirements for experimental teaching.However,the innovation of chnese middle schools physics textbooks has not kept pace with the new curriculum reforms,especially not obvious in experimental part’s improvement,which has a certain gap compared with foreign mainstream middle schools physical txetbooks.Some with more basic education foreign countries attach great importance to the teaching of physics experiments in middle schools,particularly,the teaching of physics experiments in middle schools in Germany is well-known in the intermational elementary education field,which is worth learning.Based on this background,the author chooses the most authoritative people’s education press edition high school physics textbook,and the Karlsruher High School Physics Textbook(KPK textbook),which is well-known in the international physics experiment teaching,as the research object.The experimental part of the two sets of textbooks is carried out in a more in-depth comparative study,which provides some reference for Chinese middle school physics experimental teaching reform.This paper contains the following six parts:The first part,introduction.It mainly introduces the resez1arch background of this subject;summarizes the comparison between Chinese and foreign physics textbooks and the comparative study of Chinese and foreign physics experiments;briefly describes the purpose and significance of this research;introduces the main research methods.The second part,theoretical foundation of research.Firstly,the related concepts of textbooks and physics experiments are summarized.Then,the principles of textbook writing are expounded.Finally,the physics experiment research,comparative education theory and constructivism theory which have important guiding significance for this research are introduced.The third part,construction of the evaluation index system of experiment content difficulty level.Based on the difficulty model of the course proposed by Professor Shi Ningzhong,according to experiment,s special nature,propose two dimensions of experimental breadth and experimental depth,and set up the indicators of the difficulty of the experimental content in the textbook,thus constructing the evaluation index system of the experimental content difficulty.The fourth part,comparative study about the experimental content of high school physics textbooks between China and Germany.Mainly from the experimental type,the number,the distribution,experimental difficulty and other aspects of the comparative analysis.Quantitative comparison and analysis of the experimental contents of two sets of high school physics textbooks in China and Germany.The fifth part,comparative study on the experimental writing styles of two high school physics textbooks.It mainly analyzes the characteristics of Chinese and Germany high school physics textbooks from the aspects of experiment columns,experimental subject presentation methods,experimental contents,experimental instruments,experimental illustrations,etc.,and also selects the momentum conservation part of the Sino-German as experimental cases to colparative analysis.The sixth part,conclusion.The author review this research.On the basis of comparison,the author draws five conclusions on the difficulty and formal structure of the experimental part of two high school physics textbooks in China and Germany,and puts forward three inspirations for the preparation of experimental content of Chinese physics textbooks and the use of teaching materials to create expenmental teaching scenarios.Finally,it also reflects on the shortcomings in the research and prospects for further exploration in related fields.
