文章摘要
Unit review is an important part of structured knowledge integration. This study focuses on the units related to "Understanding and Addition & Subtraction of 6–10" in the first-grade (Volume 1) textbooks of the PEP, BNUP, and JEP editions. A three-dimensional framework of "Knowledge Construction – Application and Transfer – Reflection and Development" was constructed, and content analysis was used to compare the unit review designs of the three textbook editions. The results show that: (1) In terms of knowledge construction: the PEP edition emphasizes collaboration and diagrams; the JEP edition focuses on structured expression; the BNUP edition uses a "Question Bank" to drive recall. (2) In terms of application and transfer: the number of exercise tasks varies greatly (JEP: 98 > BNUP: 54 > PEP: 30). Regarding presentation format, the BNUP edition uses meaningful illustrations for all exercises, while the PEP edition has no illustration in 73.3% of its exercises. All three editions mainly use closed-ended questions, but the PEP edition has the highest proportion of semi-open-ended questions (20%). (3) In terms of reflection and development: the PEP and JEP editions form a complete review loop, while the BNUP edition does not have an independent reflection column. The study reveals that the three textbook editions embody three different design orientations: "concise instruction with targeted practice", "application-driven", and "question-led". It is suggested that teachers integrate multiple construction paths, optimize the levels of exercises, and establish formative evaluation mechanisms.
