20世纪前期高中物理教科书中近代物理内容介绍与评析

Analysis of Modern Physics in High School Textbooks during the Early 20^(th) Century

20世纪前期正值近代物理蓬勃发展之时,受美国、日本等发达国家科学教育的影响,近代物理内容也逐步进入我国的高中物理教科书。通过对这一时期高中物理课程文件和教科书的文献研究,探讨这一时期高中物理教科书中近代物理内容的演变情况及其特点,研究表明:20世纪前期,高中物理教科书中近代物理内容总体呈逐步增加的趋势,在及时反映物理学的最新成果等方面表现比较突出。但教科书中近代物理的术语翻译较为混乱,在新文化运动倡导白话文后的多年中,仍用文言文叙述,落后于时代。

Modern physics developed vigorously during the early 20th century. Influenced by several developed countries, like the United States and Japan, modern physics began to appear in high school physics textbooks in China. By analyzing curriculum documents and textbooks of high school physics, this study explores the development and its characteristics of modern physics contents in high school physics textbooks during the early 20th century. Results indicate that ： （1） Contents of modern physics were gradually increased in high school physics textbooks during that period. The latest achievements of physics can also be found in these textbooks, which helped the spread of advanced modern physics in China. （2） Many scientific terms were inappropriately translated in high school physics textbooks during that period. Classical style of Chinese writing was still adopted in high school physics textbooks, which was far behind the times.
