Is there only one version of the Chinese textbook for primary schools?

No, there are *** 13 versions of Chinese textbooks for primary schools currently used in China. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education, the choice of using textbooks is in the hands of schools, and usually a region will choose the same textbook version.

Take Beijing as an example. At present, among the Chinese textbooks used in primary and secondary schools in Beijing, more than half of the districts and counties are using People's Education Edition, while the other half are using Su Jiao Edition, Beijing Normal University Edition and Beijing Edition respectively.

1, People's Education Edition Chinese

People's Education Edition primary school Chinese textbooks are now used in most parts of the country. For more than 60 years, People's Education Society has been responsible for compiling national primary and secondary school textbooks. It was not until the end of 1980s that the Ministry of Education implemented "one syllabus and many books", and its monopoly on teaching materials was broken. Today, People's Education Society is still recognized by the industry as the most powerful and authoritative organization for compiling textbooks for primary and secondary schools.

Highlights of the textbook:

The Chinese textbooks for primary schools published by People's Education Publishing House are open and full of vitality. Starting from the second volume of Senior One, every "Chinese Garden" has a "My Discovery" column, which constantly encourages students to think and discover for themselves and guides them to discover their own learning methods.

For example, in China Gardens IV, the second volume of Senior One, two friends are talking: "I found that the words next to the eyes are related to the eyes." In this way of guiding cooperative learning, the textbook "I found ……" inspires students to find that radicals are often related to the meaning of words.

Use feedback:

An online teacher named "Dancing" thinks that the Chinese textbook published by People's Education Press is very knowledgeable, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. It is easy to cause some students to fail to keep up with the teacher's rhythm and eventually become good students. The better, the worse. In this way, the gap widens and some students are tired of learning.

A rural teacher wrote in a message to the editorial board: For the third grade textbook, I can only say "it's not easy to love you". I don't know from what angle these senior editors are compiling books.

What's more, the differences between urban and rural students are not taken into account. Children in grade three collect a lot of data every day, and many tasks that only senior students can complete are left to children in grade three. What should I do? Where do rural students get those materials? Many problems are unprecedented.

Expert theory:

Gu Zhenbiao, a retired editor of People's Education Publishing House, said, "The idea at that time was very good. "Mountain Countryside" can be edited slightly and written more about the countryside; And some high-level schools like Beijing and Shanghai should compile deeper teaching materials. But in fact, rural areas are reluctant to use shallow textbooks. They say that children are originally from the countryside, so they can't get into college with shallow textbooks, preferring to use deep textbooks from key middle schools. The main source is exam-oriented education, and exams are often considered when writing textbooks. "

2. Su Jiaoban language

With the approval of the Ministry of Education, Jiangsu Education Publishing House began to compile Chinese experimental textbooks for compulsory primary schools at the beginning of 20001. At present, all primary schools in Jiangsu Province use Chinese textbooks published by the Soviet Union, and some districts and cities in Beijing, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Anhui, Hainan, Fujian, Heilongjiang, Yunnan, Gansu and Guangxi are also using them.

Highlights of the textbook:

A major feature of the primary school Chinese textbooks published by Jiangsu Education Publishing House is to learn "literacy texts" for reading. "Literacy Textbook" is a literacy textbook carefully compiled by editors with reference to China's traditional educational experience and various literacy methods.

Horse, autumn wind, Saibei

Xinghua Chunyu Jiangnan

Coconut trees, scorching sun, islands

Yak, ice and snow, plateau "

This is a literacy text in the first volume of Grade Two. Separately, it is a relatively independent and interrelated word. When read together, it looks like a landscape poem with harmonious rhyme. In just 24 words, a magnificent and colorful picture of China is outlined. When students learn such a text, they not only know the words and things, but also feel the vastness and magnificence of the motherland in the process of reading.

Feedback:

An enthusiastic netizen said: "First of all, I feel like reading this book. The pictures are beautiful and the fonts are very suitable for children to read and write. Secondly, compared with PEP, I think the difficulty level is more suitable for children to understand. Finally, I think its design in writing and oral communication is also very reasonable and very close to life. "

Another student's parents said that the full-color pictures in the Chinese textbook of Su Jiao Edition are very attractive to students, and the questions after class are also in line with the textbook and the content is very exquisite.

3. Chinese textbooks published by Beijing Normal University

Chinese textbooks of Beijing Normal University are published by Beijing Normal University Press and used in some districts and cities of Beijing, Shaanxi, Anhui, Xinjiang, Fujian and Heilongjiang. In the process of compiling textbooks and experiments, editors have been trying to solve three problems: Chinese learning interest, Chinese learning methods, and the unity of humanity and instrumentality of textbooks.

Highlights of the textbook:

The arrangement of primary school Chinese textbooks published by Beijing Normal University is related to children's early literacy experience, and it is further deepened. Learn the "Calligraphy and Painting" unit when entering school, and integrate the characteristics and process of China hieroglyphics and the evolution from painting to characters into the study of about 100 commonly used words, thus protecting children's initiative in literacy.

If not, it will be very difficult to learn Pinyin from the beginning, especially emphasizing four skills, which will make children feel afraid of difficulties in Chinese class and easily lose interest in learning Chinese.

4. Beijing version of Chinese textbooks

More than 80 poems have been selected in the Chinese textbooks for primary schools published by People's Education Publishing House, including 47 ancient poems, accounting for 13% of the total textbooks. There are 6 1 ancient poems in the Chinese textbook for primary schools published by Jiangsu Education Press.

Extended data

What is the nature of Chinese textbooks published by People's Education Press and Jiangsu Education Press?

How to realize the understanding, respect and harmonious coexistence among all ethnic groups has always been a major problem we are facing. As the enlightenment textbook of China, it is necessary to introduce the cultures of all ethnic groups.

These two versions of textbooks reflect the culture of ethnic minorities. The Tibetan opera, the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon and Princess Wencheng's visit to Tibet in the textbook of People's Education Edition depict Tibetan customs and etiquette, scenery and friendship between Tibetans and Han people. The Uighurs in Hotan and Tianshan Mountains in July describe the scenery and daily life of Uighurs.

These male characters all show strong, brave and inquisitive personality characteristics, thus having a high sense of identity.

The female role is only endowed with the characteristics of weakness, gentleness and virtue. Except Mulan, Helen Keller, Sang Lan in Soviet education textbooks and Madame Curie in people's education textbooks, all other women appear as weak people. Kindness, virtue and obedience are their characteristics. ?

4. They all reflect the culture of rural areas, and the proportion of urban culture has declined. Both versions of the textbooks have been revised, and the number of texts reflecting rural culture is relatively large.
