The construction and application of quality Evaluation index of

Topic:

Research on the construction and application of quality Evaluation index of mathematics textbook from the perspective of cognitive efficiency -- a case study of Chinese, American and British high school math textbooks

Background:

Under the trend of educational globalization, the reform of mathematics education is becoming more and more international.

In view of the comparison of mathematics textbooks  at  home  and  abroad  mostly  focuses  on  text  content  analysis  and  the exploration of the depth and difficulty of subject knowledge, this study mainly solves two objectives:

first, to explore the formation of a high school mathematics textbook evaluation index system suitable for cognitive efficiency;

Second, according to the first step evaluation index, the quality of mathematics textbooks in high school of China, the United  States  and  the  United  Kingdom  in  the  field  of  cognitive  efficiency  was compared. Qualitative research and quantitative research are combined to explore the empirical research method of textbook quality evaluation.

What/(Research process ):

As a first step, by learning theory of constructivism education, progressive  education  thoughts,  such  as  education  teaching  theory,  and  combing Chinese  and  English,  reference  international  and  domestic  representative,  more authoritative textbook evaluation theory model, based on the theory model of formation evaluation index model, according to the theory model and reference for the national textbook evaluation index, initially built a textbook evaluation index structure, on the basis of mathematics education research, study the opinions of the experts to obtain the initial index weight, and application of analytic hierarchy process (ahp) software expert data after obtaining the index weight, and decompose indicators form questionnaire, In a  line  at  the  grass-roots  level  middle  school  mathematics  teachers,  mathematics education expert group to carry out the questionnaire, such as getting on the targets ofthe questionnaire survey data, through the factor analysis finally to form a concise and easy to operation efficiency of the point of view in the textbook evaluation practice of textbook  quality  evaluation  index  system,  the  development  of  textbook  evaluation index  system  includes  7  first-level  indicators,  35  secondary  indexes. 

In  the  second  step,  based  on  the  constructed  evaluation  criteria,  five mathematics teaching experts and mathematics education research experts are invited to evaluate and score the mathematics sample textbooks of high schools in China, the United States and the United Kingdom, and then the evaluation data is processed by the fuzzy  comprehensive  evaluation  model  tool  to  obtain  the  comparative  evaluation results of textbooks of the three countries.

The third step is to verify the conclusion through a teaching experiment.

Result:

The  evaluation  results  show  that  the  problem  solving  from  the  perspective  of cognitive efficiency is the core attraction of high quality textbooks to efficient learning, and the open problem solving is emphasized.

High-quality textbooks attach importance to cooperative learning, situational teaching, mathematical application, mathematical communication,  and  non-intellectual  factors. 

The  learner's  understanding  of mathematics is the main goal of high quality textbooks. High quality textbooks attach importance  to  the  integration  of  mathematics  curriculum.

The  construction  of structured  knowledge  map  is  a  common  feature  of  high  quality  textbooks. 

The integration of mathematics curriculum is the general trend of the development of high quality textbooks.
