At present, there are still debates on the choice of "quantum first" and "thermodynamics first" strategies in physical chemistry teaching. Thermodynamics is an important part of physical chemistry. This paper analyzes and compares the current situation of the arrangement of thermodynamics teaching content in 10 typical textbooks at home and abroad, and puts forward the development direction and suggestions, hoping to provide a basis for physical chemistry teaching and textbook construction.
