中美遥感教材对比分析与思考

Contrastive Analysis and Consideration of Chinese and American Remote Sensing Textbooks

大学教材是传授学科知识的重要媒介,既需要突出学科的基础知识,又需要反映出相关领域前沿知识,此外还需要对教学规律有清晰的认识。遥感作为对地观测的综合性技术,广泛应用于各个领域。为了适应社会发展的需求,近年来许多高校相继设立了遥感科学与技术专业。文章从更新周期、组成形式、体系结构、图表形式等方面比较了中美两国有代表性的六本遥感教材,美国教材特点主要表现在教材持续更新,扩展性信息多以及可视化程度高。而国内教材则注重学科知识的系统介绍。这些差异性的分析可为我国遥感教材建设和教学提供有益的启示。

University textbooks are important media for imparting subject knowledge.They not only need to highlight the basic knowledge of the subject,but also need to reflect the frontier knowledge in relevant fields.In addition,they also need to have a clear understanding of the teaching rules.As a comprehensive technology of earth observation,remote sensing is widely used in various fields.In order to meet the requirements of social development,many universities have established remote sensing science and technology specialty in recent years.This paper compares six representative remote sensing textbooks between China and the United States in terms of renewal cycle,composition form,system structure and chart form.The characteristics of American textbooks are mainly reflected in the continuous updating of textbooks,extensive information and high degree of visualization.Domestic textbooks focus on systematic introduction of subject knowledge.The analysis of these differences can provide useful enlightenment for the compiling and using of remote sensing textbooks in China.
