A Comparative Analysis Of New And Old High School Biology Textbooks Based On Core Literacy

In the fall of 2020,the High School Biology Textbook(2019 Edition)of the People’s Education Edition will be put into use.Compared with the 2007 version of the textbook,the 2019 version of the textbook has significant changes in content and other aspects.How to understand the purpose of this change and promote the development of the core literacy of all high school students is an important issue faced by all high school biology teachers.This article focuses on the core literacy of biology,and compares and analyzes the changes in the content of the compulsory two "Genetics and Evolution" module of the high school biology textbook of the People’s Education Edition 2019 and 2007 editions,hoping to be more effective for frontline teachers in their teaching practice.Some help is provided for the requirements of curriculum reform.This study uses literature analysis and comparative research methods to compare and analyze the 2019 and 2007 editions of the compulsory biology compulsory two "Genetics and Evolution" of the People’s Education Edition.This article is based on constructivism theory,cognitive learning theory and lifelong education learning theory.First,a comparative analysis of the curriculum nature,curriculum concept,curriculum structure,curriculum objectives and curriculum content of the 2003 and 2017 editions of "General High School Biology Curriculum Standards".Based on this,based on the core literacy of biology,the 2007 and 2019 textbooks are compared and analyzed in terms of writing structure,text content,experiments,illustrations,exercises,and interdisciplinary.The research results show that the new textbooks in 2019 have the following characteristics: 1.The new textbooks are more precise and perfect in the history of science.2.The new textbooks increase the proportion of evolution in content.3.The new textbook embodies the basic concept of the new curriculum standard.4.The new textbooks keep pace with the times reflect the influence of science and technology on the development of science.5.The layout of the new textbook is more exquisite.In order to promote the implementation of core literacy,the following suggestions are provided for teachers to use the new textbook: 1.Make full use of the new textbook to implement the core literacy of biology.2.To help students form a knowledge system with the concept of biology as the center.3.Make full use of the new teaching materials to organize active learning characterized by inquiry.
