中外无机化学教材的比较研究

A Comparative Study of General and Inorganic Chemistry Textbooks at Home and from Abroad

通过比较三十本国内外流行的无机化学类教材,分析国内无机化学课程的构成,找出能够与之对应的国际流行教材,发现我国的无机化学课程相当于国际上化学原理或普通化学课程与描述无机化学的叠加。在特色上,国内无机化学教材覆盖面广,内容较深,文字精炼,但不易自学;国外无机化学教材中化学原理教材通常内容较浅,图文并茂,循序渐进,理论与应用及前沿有很好的结合;国外描述无机化学教材有的覆盖面窄,有的覆盖面宽,同时紧贴前沿。这些好的地方值得我们在教材建设时借鉴。

The domestic inorganic chemistry textbooks and the corresponding popular international textbooks are compared in contents.It is found that the inorganic chemistry courses in China include the contents of both the international chemical principles or general chemistry courses and the descriptive inorganic chemistry.Domestic inorganic chemistry textbooks cover a wider range of topics and are concise in text description,but are not easy for self-studying.In international textbooks,the coverage of chemical principle textbooks is usually not wide enough,but the contents are well-illustrated and the readers are progressively lead to the frontier of the subjects,together with the proper use of theory and its applications;some textbooks have wide coverage and the forefront of current subjects are introduced.Those are worthy of mentioning for our reference in the future construction of teaching materials.
