Early Textbooks In the 17th and 18th centuries, the purpose of most textbooks was to pass on religious information to students Reynolds, Early Science Textbooks In the early 19th century, science was not taught as a separate subject to younger children.
Impact of Science Textbooks Science textbooks advanced the learning process in a number of ways. They have served to gather a body of knowledge, a mechanism for introduction to learning and as a reference material Bierman, For at least a thousand years, the goal pedagogically for textbooks and school was the memorization of definitions, rules or other facts Wakefield, In fact, for quite a long period, textbooks were undifferentiated by age.
This allowed for older students to help younger ones, rather than a teacher who may have to work with students from very low grades to upper grades having to attempt to reach each grade level individually. As time has passed, the textbook has become further entrenched in the educational system.
However, current pedagogy has shown a further trend towards more balanced methods of instruction that still include the textbook.
Although there are many other learning materials available in this period, research in wealthy nations shows that the vast majority of teachers still continue to rely heavily on the textbook as their core teaching resource Encyclopedia of Education, b.
This is in spite of the fact that the majority of textbooks still have a prescribed style of presentation and knowledge base that is in stark contrast to many advances in pedagogical research, such as Multiple intelligences, personalization of learning and Universal Design for Learning. However, there is a movement towards understanding of knowledge to take the place of memorization. While lessons derived from textbooks may continue to dominate the classroom, much of the time these are augmented and coordinated with a full set of learning materials, such as audio and visual files, graphics, exercise books and computer access materials.
Even while using basic textbooks, most of these now have an objectives section, to aid student in understating what knowledge they will be able to gain from this chapter and what skills they should garner from this unit. As well, understanding and extension questions at either the start or end of a chapter allow students to synthesize and cement their newly acquired knowledge.
Dramatic changes in technology have changed the relationship between information, students and their access. As well, a concern with the static textbook is that it is not accessible to all students. One reading level for all is not designed to provide learning to students with learning disabilities or even physical handicaps, such as students who are blind or have low vision. Textbooks publishers are increasingly providing digital copies of their texts and activities, so students can access them through screen readers and other specialized Assistive Technology Stahl, As the nature and accessibility of knowledge continues to change and grow, the textbook will have to continue to change as well.
Textbooks will have to change from being a static printed volume to negate being out of date as soon as they are in the hands of students. Textbooks should continue to grow into guides for both students and teachers, coordinating different resources from animations and simulations to interactive exercises. Although the textbook has received a bad reputation over the past few decades, it is still a valuable resource as a part of a balanced program of studies.
The textbook has been around since the beginning of schooling and as long as it maintains its course of evolution and growth, it will continue to be part of it until the end of formal schooling.
Bierman, P. Some of the Prophet's companions scribed parts and surahs specially for themselves after they had memorized it from the Prophet. Its resource was the parts written by the Revelation scribes; so he gathered all of it in one book, the Holy Quran.

Conservatives branded Rugg a Communist propagandist. Inflamed Bradner, Ohio citizens held an anti-Rugg book burning. The lesson textbook publishers absorbed was that controversy is to be avoided. Many textbooks praised international cooperation following the horrors of World War I, the first modern war. Mainstream history books during the s and s were decidedly nationalistic. For example, the Daughters of the American Revolution, an organization devoted to"God, Home, and Country," attacked textbooks that did not reflect Christian values nor celebrate a triumphal, paternalistic history.
In its Textbook Study , the DAR blacklisted schoolbooks as subversive because they, among other things, described the U. By the mid-twentieth century, a call rose for multicultural textbooks in place of mainstream texts that had ignored or stereotyped non-WASP ethnic groups and races, and women. This movement against stereotyping and for fair consideration in history books spread across the nation, rejecting books that treated the United States as a solely white, middle-class society when it was in fact multiracial and multicultural.
In , as the result of NAACP action, the Detroit School Board withdrew an offensive text, and began examining all of the history texts used in the school system for racial bias.
The depictions of women in history texts also came under scrutiny. Janice Trecker investigating more than a dozen history books for high school students published between and , found that women were rarely mentioned and, when they were, the representations were both incomplete and inaccurate. Within a few years, organizations from the Anti-Defamation League to the Council on Interracial Books, were studying texts for racial, ethnic, religious and gender bias and making recommendations for a new generation of schoolbooks.
Award-winning writer Frances FitzGerald reported on her exhaustive study of history texts in America Revised Since the s, she wrote, a new form of history arose in which race, ethnicity, class, and gender emerged as core areas, representing "the most dramatic rewriting of history ever to take place" in America. As a result, publishers were pressed to present the multiple perspectives of a multiracial, multicultural society composed of distinct ethnic groups and races, each with its own history, achievements, and heroes.
FitzGerald criticized most history school texts as dull and simplistic. She contended that U. Similarly, conservative historian Diane Ravitch opined that textbook publishers do not allow their books to address potentially "offensive" topics that might generate controversy, especially at the time of state adoption hearings.
Unlike FitzGerald, however, Ravitch has been critical of a social studies approach with an unending history of social strife, political repression, and political inequalities among racial or ethnic groups.
Schlesinger, Jr. It belittles unum and glorifies pluribus. Conflict was unavoidable as reformers urged school officials to offer textbooks that enhanced ethnic and racial pride as they brought in economic and social issues, while conservatives called for a return to texts that celebrated American ideals, a Christian heritage and nationalism. Textbook and curriculum disputes boiled over in dozens of American communities, and even exploded in violence.
Some see the violent outburst in Kanawha County, West Virginia, as the first battleground of the American culture wars. Outrage erupted there when the local schools adopted new textbooks and works by authors such as Eldridge Cleaver, Arthur Miller and George Orwell.
