Explaining Teachers' Use of Textbooks
Reichenberg, Monica
Journal of Educational Media, Memory and Society, v8 n2 p145-159 Sep 2016
In educational systems without comprehensive systems for regulating textbooks, teachers can exert considerable influence on the use of textbooks. However, existing research has not yet identified the mechanisms of this use. Accordingly, the aim of this article is to examine and explain teachers' strategic use of textbooks. I administered a questionnaire to 313 Swedish teachers of years four to twelve (for pupils of ten to eighteen years of age). The results demonstrate a pathway between reading practices and strategic textbook use, mediated by textbook satisfaction. Pupils' reading needs had a negative impact on strategic textbook use. Finally, teachers' experience had a positive impact on reading practices but no effect on strategic textbook use.
