TEACHER AND EXPERT VIEWS ON EDUCATIONAL DESIGN OF 8th GRADE MATHEMATICS TEXTBOOK
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine teachers and mathematics
educators’ views on the educational design of 8th grade mathematics textbook.
Seven main categories for the educational design of the mathematics textbook
based on the student-centered approaches is identified in literature. A survey
that was developed based on these categories was applied 40 mathematics teachers
in Trabzon. Also, the interviews were conducted with three mathematics
educators and five teachers, randomly selected among the teachers, in order to
determine the suitability of textbook to these categories in-depth. The findings
of the study indicate that the textbook meets these categories at the intermediate
level. However the categories of “taking into account students’ ideas” and
“enhancing the mathematics learning environment” are weaker than the others.
It is concluded that although efforts were made to meet the requirements of curriculum
in the textbook, the efforts squashed into between traditional and students-centered
approaches. In some cases, the opinions of teachers and educators
became different. These categories are used to improve or evaluate a textbook
which reflects the student-centered approaches of the curriculum.
