| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 工業科技教育學系 === 102 === In this study, we referenced the general standard content of the research report on the elementary and junior high school textbook screening system and review criteria directed by Jenq-Jye Huang to create an interview outline. We performed in-depth interviews with seven teachers in the field of natural and life sciences at Kaohsiung Municipal Cianjhen Junior High School. The research theme was based on Volume 3, Chapter 4 (Light) of the 2013 Han Lin edition of Natural and Life Sciences. We discussed the appropriateness of this textbook in regard to four dimensions: content and organization, physical properties, text readability, and instructional design.
We summarized the following points from the interview data and our analysis results:
1. Content and Organization
(1) Textbook content on the pinhole experiment, concave and convex mirrors, the law of refraction, concave and convex lenses and light, and the three primary colors remains incomplete.
(2) Teaching hours are out of proportion with textbook content. Actual teaching hours are too limited.
(3) The content of “4-2. The Law of Refraction and Mirror Imaging” and “4-4. Lens Imaging” lacks difficulty.
(4) This textbook has connections with the fields of language arts, mathematics, arts and humanities, integrative activities, and health and physical education. It lacks connections only with social studies.
(5) The conceptual organization of “4-2. The Law of Refraction and Mirror Imaging” and “4-4. Lens Imaging” lacks a sense of hierarchy.
2. Physical Properties: The teacher’s guide, student assignments, instructional media, supplementary information, knowledge delivery, further reading, and teaching aids are all appropriate.
3. Text Readability: The structure and fluency of the sentences and the difficulty of the vocabulary are appropriate.
4. Instructional Design:
(1) From the competence indicators, we found that the students are relatively weak in application, analysis, and integration. The textbook content must be amended in these areas.
(2) The safety of the pinhole imaging activity and the clearness of the experimental results must be improved.
Finally, we presented a number of recommendations for subsequent textbook editors and teachers based on the points above.
