其他标题:Research on history textbook narratives regarding cognitive understanding in junior high school students in mainland China: Compulsory Africa-themed education as an example
其他摘要:Based on the needs of national history curriculum standards and history education for junior high school students, this study promoted Africa research from a
different perspective in Mainland China to improve research on history textbooks. Taking the Africa-themed books of Sinomap Press in 2006 as an example, we explored junior high school students’ cognitive understanding regarding
history textbooks. A document analysis method was applied to summarize the
cognition situation of historical textbooks and present the thematic evolution
of knowledge related to Africa in the history syllabus and curriculum standards.
Moreover, a questionnaire was adopted to study this theme. The research also
included observation, an auxiliary interview, and a combination of theoretical
and empirical research. The following research plan was adopted: scrutinize
subject matter contents in the history syllabus→implement test surveys using
two types of questionnaire→perform statistical analysis on the two types of results→observe teaching (teaching process design)→analyze results→reflect on
research results and countermeasures. The results of the study may provide vital
theoretical and practical implications for the improvement of history textbooks
in Mainland China, the history education of middle school students, and the
improvement of history teaching practice.
