Improving Textbook Selection.
Chatman, Steven P.; Goetz, Ernest T.
Teaching of Psychology, v12 n3 p150-52 Oct 1985
An objective index-based textbook evaluation method that can be reliably applied to large collections of introductory textbooks is described. The method was designed to help teachers reduce the pool of available introductory texts to a manageable number for more in-depth treatments. Dimensions assessed were key concepts and major theorists referenced. (Author/RM)
