A Comparative Study On The Alignment Of The New Curriculum Standards Edition High School Geography Textbooks Compulsory Course One And The Curriculum Standards

With the development of the international "standard-based" curriculum reform movement,our country has restarted the curriculum revision of ordinary high school in 2013,and issued the latest revised curriculum standards and textbooks based on it.It was put into use in the college entrance examination reform pilot provinces in the fall of 2019.As far as the geography subject to be studied in this paper is concerned,the relevant contents of the curriculum standards are required to be changed from the original characteristics of "deep and specialized" to "shallow and wide".Great changes have taken place.Although the compilation of the textbooks is based on the curriculum standards,there are still some inconsistencies between them and the curriculum standards.Therefore,the consistency level between the new curriculum standard high school geography textbook and the curriculum standard is an urgent problem in front of us.On the basis of summarizing the domestic and foreign textbook evaluation research and the alignment research based on the curriculum standards,this paper took four new editions of high school geography textbook compulsory course one(People's Education Edition,Lu Edition,Xiang Edition,Zhongtu Edition)as an example,by using the content analysis method and the comparative analysis method,and the SEC alignment analytical model,to compare the alignment from the aspects of Porter alignment,focus distribution,content theme and cognitive level with The General Senior High School Geography curriculum standards(2017 Edition).Some suggestions were put forward according to the results of the alignment analysis to supplement the textbook evaluation theory of our country and provide an example for the study of the alignment of other elements of geography curriculum,so as to make the geography curriculum of our country more effective.The main conclusions of this paper are as follows:In terms of alignment coefficient,there is no significant alignment between the textbooks of different editions and the curriculum standards.Among those,the alignment of the textbooks of People's Education Edition and Lu Edition and the curriculum standards is slightly higher than that of the textbooks of Xiang Edition and Zhongtu Edition.The differences of alignment between the textbooks and the curriculum standards are mainly reflected in the two dimensions of content theme and cognitive level,which are as follows:(1)In the aspect of content theme.The biggest difference is that the curriculum standards focuses on the description of theme 3 "the atmosphere on the earth" and theme 2 "the physiognomy," but the content distribution of each edition of the textbooks is on the opposite.The emphasis of the textbooks on these two content themes is not enough.The other four themes,theme 1,"the Earth in the Universe," theme 4,"the Water on Earth," theme 5,"Vegetation and Soil," and theme 6,"Natural Disasters and Geographic Information Technology" also differ greatly in the distribution of the curriculum standards and the textbooks.These four themes in the curriculum standards accounts for a small proportion,but in each version of the textbooks accounts for a large proportion.(2)In the aspect of cognitive level.Although the cognitive level of each edition of the textbooks and the curriculum standards is mainly about the "memory" level and the "understanding" level,the requirement for students' cognitive level in the curriculum standards is only the "memory" level and the "understanding" level.While in the textbooks,In addition to the "understanding" level and the "memory" level,the other cognitive levels also occupy a certain proportion,among which the "analysis" level occupies a large proportion.Secondly,the proportions of "memory" level in the textbooks are higher than that in the curriculum standards.In the light of the above research conclusions from the perspective of teachers' teaching,the author proposes Suggestions based on making teachers use the existing textbooks more scientifically and efficiently,in order to reduce the adverse effects of the differences between the new curriculum standards high school geography textbooks and curriculum standards through reasonable measures,so as to promote the implementation of high school geography curriculum in our country.
