Description

This contribution focuses on the search for criteria that should be met by science textbooks. A literature search was conducted and several tools for textbook evaluation or lists of criteria for science textbooks were found. We looked for criteria common to at least three different tools or criteria lists. The criteria found are related to the information in the textbook, its content, the language used, the graphic presentation, and its clarity. These criteria will be used to create questionnaires for students, teachers, and physics teaching experts. Questionnaires will be then used to evaluate a new upper secondary school physics textbook.
