Excerpt from Textbook Selection
At a time when a new emphasis upon motivation is being made, Dr. Knight's study Of students' choices in literature is very timely. We have only begun to appreciate the importance of utilizing the method of judgments of choices under properly controlled condi tions. Certain aspects Of learning are particularly in need of just such appraisals. It is fortunate to have an example which does not end merely as a statement of a general principle but in a helpful, concrete recommendation which can be immediately utilized by all teachers of high school English.
It was inevitable from the first that the various studies of economy in silent reading would react upon the construction of text books. Dr. Franzen's investigation was made in the practical emergency of text book selection. It illustrates what may be expected more and more in the way of substituting data for opinion in the solution of the problems involved in text book adoptions. There is reason to believe that in the next few years we may expect much experimental activity along these lines.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the crucial role textbooks play in improving the delivery of instruction. The author argues that carefully selected textbooks can dramatically influence the success or failure of any educational method. The author suggests that making choices about textbooks should not be haphazard but rather should be based on scientific inquiry. The author presents data from studies that illustrate ways to apply criteria for evaluating textbooks. These criteria include the interest level of the text, its comprehensibility, the permanent value of its content, and its mechanical qualities. The author makes a strong case for considering student interest as a primary criterion for selecting textbooks. Their research found that books that students found interesting were not necessarily the best, but the least interesting books were hardly ever the best. They also found that frequency of use of a text was not a good indicator of interest level. The author concludes by asserting that there is no one perfect way to select textbooks, but that the criteria presented in this book can help educators make more informed decisions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
