Points of view of secondary level science teachers regarding textbooks in the context of the implementation of the new Quebec programs
This article presents the results of a survey conducted with secondary science and technology teachers to obtain their points of view on textbooks developed in the context of the recent education reform in Quebec. The data collected show that the teachers prefer to have textbooks that present an operational approach to the disciplines. The teachers also expect the textbooks to provide a support for the preparation and the implementation of their teaching. The teachers are very critical of textbooks that present teaching-learning approaches with pre-established and closed progressions.
