Abstract

In this paper, I aimed to investigate and analyze what´s the current level of intellectual reasoning of middle school students, and whether the contents of their science textbooks(physics sphere) are adequated to their logical reasoning level.
And from this analysis I obtained the complete proportion of logical reasoning as following ; conservational reasoning is 44％―53％, proportional reasoning is 33％―50％, control of variables is 11％―27％, probabilitistic reasoning is 14％―40％, correlational reasoning is 6％―9％ and combinational reasoning is 3％―10％.
But in general the complete proportions of logical reasoning of male students are higher than that of female students.
In educational process of science textbooks in middle school(physics sphere), the 15 items forming 30.6％ of 49 items which are classfied by the Piagetian reasoning pattern have relations with concrete reasoning pattern. While 34 items(69.4％) have relations with formal reasoning pattern.
In 131 items which include concrete reasoning pattern and formal reasoning pattern required in contents of textbooks, C to F percentage equals 49.6 to 50.4.
The result of analysis by 6 reasoning, only the students of 3％ at least or these of 53％ at most were at the level of formal reasoning pattern. So that they are not enough for the level(69.4％) of formal reasoning pattern required in contents of textbooks(Physics sphere)
