The Textbook Controversies by Daniel Tanner - 1988Why is the textbook, along with other books in the classroom and
school library, so dominant and durable? In an age of microelectronic-media
technology, why is it that the textbook and other conventional
print media continue to serve as the predominant classroom resource?
Is the dominance of the textbook and other conventional print media
largely attributable to the resistance of the school to change? Or are
there unique attributes and functions indigenous to these conventional print media which distinguish them from other media as a principal
teaching-learning resource? These are some of the questions, along
with related issues, to be addressed in this chapter.To view the full-text for this article you must be signed-in with the appropriate membership. Please review your options below: | This article originally appeared as NSSE Yearbook Vol 87, No. 1. |
