Qualities of Outstanding Mathematics and Science Teachers in U.S.
Based on Rezat's tetrahedron activity model of"textbook use"and the theme of this study,this paper selects"student-teacher-textbook","teacher-textbook-mathematical knowledge"and"student-teacher-mathematical knowledge"as the three dimensions of the study.A questionnaire was developed to survey 3,766 junior high school mathematics teachers who use the mathematics textbooks of Beijing Normal University in twenty provinces and cities in China.The paper analyzes the impact of the textbooks on the teachers'teaching process.Its explicit impact on teaching design,teaching method selection,and guidance of student learning,etc.,and its implicit impact on teaching by enriching teachers'subject knowledge,teaching knowledge,and interdisciplinary expanded knowledge The data analysis led to the following conclusions:teachers'use of textbooks has a significant impact on enriching and expanding their knowledge,so the implicit impact of textbooks on teaching cannot be ignored;Teachers'use of textbooks has different impacts on each link of students'learning,either explicit or implicit,the presence of"textbook invisibility"allows teachers to be very motivated to use textbooks in a variety of ways according to the needs of their students;There are significant differences in the use of textbooks in terms of gender,teaching years and professional titles,and also in terms of textbook training.
