Abstract

Since the textbooks are important and sometimes the only source of education for many students, the presentation of the content is so remarkable. The present research study deals with the analysis of the 10th grade physics textbook of the experimental field in the academic year of 1402-3 based on William Rumi's method. This research is descriptive and of the content analysis type. All parts of the above-mentioned book (except for "Introduction", "Knowledge Life" and "Good to Know") in three categories of text, images and activities was considered. To determine the reliability, William Scott's formula was employed and a coefficient of 0.8 was obtained. The results showed that the text and pictures of any chapters actively engage the students. In other words, the majority of the text and images of all chapters present scientific content and ask students to study or memorize the concept. The investigations showed that the exercises and activities of the book do not actively involve the students.
