COOPERATIVE RESEARCH IN SCIENCE TEXTBOOK OF SCHOOL EDUCATION

我们用两年的时间调查了小学、初中和高中使用的许多科学教科书。在调查之后，我们想从各个角度提出改进教科书的建议。这些项目如下。1)对《时代youyou》的内容进行精挑细选和归纳，是完善科学教材的必要条件，尤其要去掉“内容处理”的精品。基础科学教育必须建立小学、初中和高中的统一教育体系。这次调查澄清了现行教科书缺乏一致性的问题。3)有必要决定直到初中还是高中才能完成最低限度的科学教育。这一决定的结果将要求教育系统进行重组。当然，教科书也会因结构调整而改变。4)教材中科目的选择和实验活动的取消在学校的实践中是非常重要的，因为每周5天的教学时间总量不足，太多的科目对教师来说是很费力的。与其增加实验对象，我们建议更好地选择一些有意义的故事，比如这些实验的背景、故事和历史。教材中自然科学教育的学科平衡是亟待改进的问题之一。与实验相比，对自然的观察领域被忽视了。在具体的宇宙中，恒星、星系和海洋在现有的地球科学教科书中都有记载。生物学中的分类学、形态学和水生学在当今认识自然必须更加重要。6)选择了生物和地球科学教科书中的许多科学术语进行重新考查。这些术语列在这份报告中。7)取消对教科书价格、彩色页数和常规页数的限制是使教科书自由而不受严格控制的一个非常重要的因素。少

We investigated many science textbooks used in elementary,lower and upper secondary school for two years. We would like to propose to improve the textbooks under various points of view after the investigation. These are as following items.1) Careful selection and generalization of contents of SHIDOU YOURYOU are essential to improve science textbooks,especially elimination of fine articles of 'dealing of contents' is desirble.2) To establish a consistent system of education among elementary, lower and upper secondary school is necessary in basic science education. This investigation clarified the lack of consistency in the present textbooks.3) It is necessary to decide until whether lower or upper secondary school to complete minimum education of science. The education system will be required to restruct by the result of the decision. Of course textbooks will be changed by the restructure.4) Selection of subjects and elimination of number of experimental activities in textbooks are very … More important practically in school,because lesson-hours in 5 days weekly system become shortage in total and too many subjects are laborious to teachers. Instead of increase of the subjects we will suggest better possiblity to pick up a few meaningful stories of backgrounds and tales and histories of these experiments.5) One of urgent improvement is to balance fields in natural science education in textbooks. Fields of the observations of nature have been treated lightly compared with experiments. In the concrete cosmos,stars,the galactic system and ocean are ommited in present textbooks of earth science. Taxonomy,morphology and aquatic in biology must be more important to know nature at present.6) Many science terms in the textbooks in both biology and earth science were selected to reexaminate. These terms are listed up in this report.7) Elimination of the limites on price of the textbooks, number of colored and usual pages is a very important to make textbooks freely without tight control.
