利用国家图书馆“文津”搜索系统发现,我国自恢复高考以来,累计出版遗传学教材895部,其中理论教材588部(65.7%)、实验教材122部(13.6%)、教学参考资料185部(20.7%).这些教材中,医学遗传学最多,普通遗传学其次,动植物微生物遗传学较少.对教材的名称、第一编(著)者和出版机构的分析发现,名称为“医学遗传学”的教材有91部,左伋教授编写了9部教材,是编写教材最多的“第一编(著)者”,科学出版社共出版了179部(占20%)教材,是遗传学教材出版的主力军.利用问卷调查发现,戴灼华等主编的《遗传学》(第二版)是目前使用最广泛的理论教材,实验教材则多用自编讲义或教材.文章也对教材中存在的问题,如更新周期长、配套落后、同名严重、遗传学故事写得太少、特色插图凤毛麟角、印刷页字数过满等进行了剖析,并提出了解决途径.
Using Wenjin Search of the National Library of China,it was found that 895 genetics textbooks for Chinese colleges,including 588 (67.5%) theoretical books,122 (13.6%) experimental books and 185 (20.7%) teaching reference books,have been published since College Entrance Examination resumed.Most of these books belong to medical genetics,followed by general genetics,while the books on plant genetics,animal genetics or microbial genetics are relatively few.In these search results,91 had the same name of"Medical Genetics",professor Ji Zuo is the most productive author,who edited 9 genetics textbooks,and Science Press Ltd.is the most productive press,which published 179 (20%) genetics textbooks.The questionnaire survey showed that "Genetics" (Second Edition) edited by Zhuohua Dai is the most widely used textbooks in the Chinese colleges,while the mainly used experimental books are the handouts or self-edited textbooks.Finally,we analyzed the problems currently existed in the textbooks,such as slowly updating cycle,less supports,lots of books with the same name,lack of scientific stories,very rare and unique illustrations,too full printed pages,and also pro-vided the proposed solution.
