通过评价教材质量促进科学教育——美国《科学教材评价指南》评述

Promote Science Education with Textbook Evaluation--A Review of the Guidelines for the Evaluation of Instructional Materials in Science

教材评价是促进教材和学科发展的关键,而教材评价标准则是教材评价的关键所在。为加强科学教材评价,2017年美国生物科学课程研究中心发布了《科学教材评价指南》。该指南作为美国科学教材评价的指导方针,关注以三维学习目标为评价中心、以现实生活为基点、教材对学生的多重评价功能、教材评价手段的全面与严谨这四个方面,试图提升学生学习科学的兴趣和效果。尽管美国学界对该指南存在一定争议,但它一定程度上代表着当前美国科学教材评价的发展方向,可以为我国科学教材评价提供一定启示。

Textbook evaluation is the key to promote the development of textbooks and disciplines and the evaluation criteria is the key to evaluate the textbooks.In order to strengthen the evaluation of scientific textbooks,the American Biological Science Curriculum Research Center released the Guidelines for the Evaluation of Instructional Materials in Science in 2017.As a guideline for the evaluation of American scientific textbooks,it focuses on the threedimensional learning objectives as the evaluation center,based on real life,paying attention to the multiple evaluation functions of teaching materials to students,and paying attention to the comprehensive and rigorous methods of teaching materials evaluation.In these ways,America tries to improve students' interest and effect in learning science.Although the American academic community has some controversy about this guide,it represents the development direction of the current American scientific textbook evaluation to a certain extent,and it can also provide some inspiration for the evaluation of Chinese scientific textbooks.
